A fantastic addition to The Jacobite Chronicles!

This book is full of wonderful storytelling, great narration and definitely filled is some story lines.
I loved the idea that the main character isn't tiny, beautiful, blond, and perfect. Harriet doesn't have the usual description of the classic heroine and she's wonderful!

I love these books

Harriet's backstory helps really connect to book 6 of the Jacobite chronicles really enjoyed it

History lesson and love storu

hi, enjoy, listening to the story of childhood to adulthood and getting to know the person and their personality and point of view. I can imagine Harriet living at this time leaving her mark on society, and the whole of the country

Outstanding

This whole series including the Jacobite series is so good that this is the second time I am listening to them all again.

Wonderful writing and narration!

Excellent book. Great history of the families! Learning about Harriet, Jem, and William. Also about Harriet’s family.

Love this author love this story

Wonderful story amazing narrators and stunning historical background will definitely recommend this story to all

Amazing woman with a great story to tell!

This Jacobite Chronicles Story is wonderful historical fiction depicting the life of an amazing woman! Throughout the series I often wondered about Harriet and her life. This answered all of those questions, and so much more. It makes me even more thankful for women like that who pushed for women's rights in their way. I know this is fictional, but I can't help but think it fits many women in that time. Like the rest of the series this is beautifully written and performed. Will Watt is a favorite performer who always delivers and Mary Jane Wells was the perfect fit to bring Harriet to life. I love DUET narration as well!

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE

I love learning history through well-written novels, and Julia Brannan’s are my favorites. She gives such insight into court politics and the desperation of the nobility to curry favor with the monarchy to increase power and prestige. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Harriet and someone who will play an important role with the Jacobites. What impresses me most is Brannan’s ability to create complex, sympathetic characters. I hope she writes several more novels.

So good but heartbreaking

I love the character of Harriet so much! Her story is so compelling and captivating it was hard to stop listening till the end.

My favorite Julia Brannan character

Harriet was completely herself, opinionated, stubborn, and loyal. Be warned, this book does not have an HEA. I cried but loved the book.
