Publisher's Summary
Acclaimed, best-selling author Lori Wick’s The Proposal is a moving tale of Christ’s love at work in early 19th-century London. William Jennings is not married and likes it that way. But when a relative passes away, he is suddenly guardian of three young children. This unexpected development provides him a male heir without the bother of a wife, yet the children quickly become more than he can handle. Finding help from a truly remarkable woman, he learns to see the world in a completely different light.

"Wonderful story!"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Proposal to be better than the print version?The book was great and the audio lives up to the books greatness.
What did you like best about this story?Everything. Characters were great. The story was wonderful.
Which character ??? as performed by Virginia Leishman ??? was your favorite?She did a great job on male and female characters. You were immediately engrossed in the story as she had all the characters flow flawlessly.
If you could rename The Proposal, what would you call it?It's a great title I wouldn't change it.
Any additional comments?Thank you audible for having more Lori Wick books. She has a lot more we would all enjoy listening too. Can't wait to see more listed.

"Families and romance in early England countryside"
What made the experience of listening to The Proposal the most enjoyable?The narrator's English accent really helped the story come to life. I enjoyed getting a glimpse of what country life for the priviledged was like during this period of England's history.
What other book might you compare The Proposal to and why?Similar in some ways to Colleen Coble's Lonestar series where characters in those stories marry out of need, rather than love. Both author's do a good job of demonstrating the importance of friendship, respect, and commitment in a marriage, rather than depending solely on love.
What does Virginia Leishman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The accent, most definitely!

"Christian book, not romance"
Would you try another book from Lori Wick and/or Virginia Leishman?No to the author. The voice was ok.
What was most disappointing about Lori Wick’s story?I only listened about half an hour to this book. When I read the description, it looked like an ordinary romance, but when I listened to it it soon became clear that it was a christian book. I'm sure it's an ok book for a christian audience, but as an atheist I have wasted good money on a book I'll never listen to.
What three words best describe Virginia Leishman’s voice?OK
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?Disappointment

"Not historically accurate!"
Ms wicks has taken modern values and modern religious beliefs and written as if this was the norm back in the 1800's. Children were seen and not heard. The rod was not spared! Women were not respected by society or the law. In ms wicks version of this time period she claims the opposite. I kept listening mainly because I couldn't believe how bad it was! I am not against an honest expression of faith, but don't try to rewrite history!
