Publisher's summary

Autumn Hartley purchases Allen Hall at a steal, but the northern lass gets far more than a beautiful plantation in the South Carolina Low Country. The house comes complete with its own ghost, a handsome and charming Civil War General - for the Confederacy. The stage is set for another civil conflict.

John Sibley Allen died in battle from a wound in the back, the bullet fired by the turncoat, Beauregard Dudley. The traitor's reincarnation is Autumn the Interloper's first dinner guest. Sib bedevils her date and annoys her with fleeting, phantom touches, certain he can frighten her away as he did previous purchasers. As time marches on, her resident ghost becomes more appealing while her suitor, Beau, pales in comparison. Autumn finds her ability to love didn't perish in the divorce that sent her south seeking a fresh start.

After over a century in the hereafter, Sib discovers he is falling for none other than the feisty Yankee girl, but what future could a modern woman and an old-fashioned ghost possibly hope for?

BOOK REVIEW.....
The story needed a little more depth but over all I liked it.

NARRATOR REVIEW.......
The narrator sounded so bored with the story. He didn't put any effort into bringing the characters to life. He ruined the story.

It was okay

I thought this book was overall okay. It starts right out of the gate and I thought I may have missed something or my audio skipped but it didn't. It was a cute quick listen but I believe it could have come to life MUCH better if the narration was different. He was very mono toned and there was no passion or excitement.

Sweet story

This was a nice little short romantic story. Some romance, some laughs and a bit of drama. I enjoyed it. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Review

the narration was flat and slow. The story was sweet but the characters were shallow.

Narration takes away from

Her General in Gray by Linda Nightingale is a short, sweet novella that unfortunately isn't as entertaining as it could be due to flat narration. The story itself revolves around the ghost of John Sibley Allen, whom still resides in the house, Allen Hall, that he lived in at the time of his death. Now, in the modern day, Autumn Hartley is living there and the two begin a sort of friendship that goes stronger as time passes. When the reincarnation of the man that murdered Mr. Allen arrives at as a guest of Ms. Hartley, the fun begins.

Joe Formichella's narration needs some help. Though is voice is pleasant, his narration of this novella is flat and monotone. I had to restart the book a few times before I got into it because of this. If the book sounds interesting to you, I would just encourage you to listen when you don't have distractions around you and when you aren't super sleepy so you can pay attention more so than you likely need to listening to other audiobooks.

Not your average ghost

I laughed out loud reading this book, the Generals actions were quite funny at times. It's interesting to see a southern gentleman transplanted into the modern era, the changes made for some humorous reactions from John.

I like Autumn a lot, the way she dealt with having a ghost haunting her new house showed she has inner strength in spades, and I love that is a lead character.

The scene is beautifully set, there's just enough of a description to create a mental picture without putting in too much detail.

The narrator did a good job with the character voices and having the personalities of the characters come through. The overall delivery was well paced and sounded natural.

Terrible narrator!

The narrator is terrible! No inflection in his voice. Sounds like Matt mcmoheny but much to bland!

Short and Sweet

Though this was a short story it was very sweet and very enjoyable. Autumn has purchased an old southern plantation complete with a ghost. Sib has been scaring away previous owners, however he is attracted to Autumn and getting rid of the present owner isn’t as important to him as it used to be. The storyline was quite unique and very entertaining. Autumn and Sib made a sweet couple and it was interesting how the author brought them together. I thought Joe Formichella did a good job of his narration. I received a free copy of this book and have voluntarily provided this unbiased review.

Love the story

If not for the narrator this story would have been so much better. I enjoyed the story line and the characters.

The narrator's voice is monotone and monotonous from beginning to end. He would perhaps be better suited for a relaxation audible? I fell asleep more than once.
