poor narration

This was a decent book but the narrator was extremely poor. He read the book with wrong inflections and it was choppy. There was a break in the center where it should have been spliced but sounded like he banged a hard cover book on the table. This was painful to get through. The book itself was OK, but it came to a conclusion quickly and was front heavy with detail and wrapped up extremely quickly with what seemed like almost insta-love.

Yes, there are woman that can fit right in !

Initially this is a sad tale, that you wonder where it would lead.
However, what one person deems as good companionship, may not fit another's idea of the same thing.
As one's idea of a happy family, isn't always everyone's image of the same scene.
Yes this is an interesting story, with a great HEA.

Cute fast story

I didn’t love the narration. It seemed stilted. It’s a good story, you see where it’s going but it has a happily ever after to look forward to. The choice to have the characters always refer to each other as Lord Trenton or Lady Leah made it harder to like the characters. What father (Lord or not) never calls his daughter Leah, only Lady Leah? It added to the stilted nature of the reading. It’s an enjoyable novella that most will enjoy.

Great Short Story!

I enjoyed this short historical romance. Was happy that the Earl and his young daughter found the perfect replacement of the wife and mother they lost and was glad when the Earl discovered the dastardly deed the entitled and spiteful Lady Caroline that he had been courting had tried to pull off. Sorry to say that the narrator’s cadence was too choppy for me to enjoy his narration of this story. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
