Ashbrook Abbey

A Regency Romance

By: Heather Chapman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ambrose Notley couldn't imagine a better future than that of a rich bachelor. In fact, Loftus Notley, Ambrose's uncle and owner of the charming Ashbrook Abbey, leads the exact kind of life Ambrose longs for--freedom from worry, responsibility, and...any and all entanglements with the female gender. Ambrose has spent the majority of his adolescence rallying for a spot in his uncles affection--or rather, his uncle's will. To Ambrose's surprise, his uncle offers him an ultimatum: marry the young ward Kate or lose all prospect of Ashbrook Abbey.

Kate wants nothing more than to return to the cottage on the sea after the death of her parents. However, her guardian makes it clear she cannot assume her inheritance until she is rightfully married. But will marrying a stranger--her only option to escape the confines of Ashbrook Abbey--be too high of a price to pay for the respite of her childhood home?

Can a marriage of convenience remain strictly business, or will the overgrown bachelor find a way to sneak into her already broken heart?

Clean romance

Wholesome to hear a sweet romance enjoyed the characters and the story line was nice.

Cute little story

Nice emotional exploration. A welcome respite from the stories told in the lap of luxury.

Great Book

I have enjoyed listening to the books by Heather Chapman. I look forward to the listening to more of her books.

Super Cute

This was a super cute novella! Lots of endearing moments.
Sure, there could have been a bit more development, but it’s a novella.
It was a delightful quick listen.

This is a good virtual voice—listening on 1.15 speed is usually just about right.

sweet love story with a happy ending

This author does not disappoint in my second read from her. She delivers an interesting plot, lovable characters, and a beautiful way of expressing the English language. really didn't mind that. I could guess how the story would end but how she got us there. Sweet, clean, wholesome!
