In the Shelter of Hollythorne House

A low-spice Regency romance

De: Sarah E. Ladd

Narrado por: Jude Mason

A young widow faces an uncertain future . . . until an unexpected encounter with her first love gives her heart a second chance. This low-spice Regency romance is perfect for fans of Poldark, Julie Klassen, and Mimi Matthews.

England, 1817--Charlotte Grey thought she had seen the last of Anthony Welbourne. Knowing her father would never consent to his only daughter marrying a man he deemed beneath their family's station, Charlotte bid her final farewell to Anthony and vowed never to turn back. Instead, she honored her father's wishes by marrying the wealthy Roland Prior.

Determined to put his love for Charlotte in the past, Anthony chose to immerse himself in a life full of meaning--first as a soldier fighting a war overseas, then as a member of William Walstead's watchmen, a rugged band of men dispatched to deal with perilous situations. Fearless and persistent, he makes it his life's focus to fight for those who can't fight for themselves.

When Charlotte's husband dies unexpectedly, she quickly realizes how blind she'd been to his nefarious ambitions and how many people he'd angered on his relentless quest for wealth. To protect her infant son, Henry, from those who wish him harm, she and the baby flee to Hollythorne House, her childhood home. There, Charlotte comes face-to-face with her former love, who has been sent as one of the hired watchmen to protect her and Henry until the details of her late husband's estate are settled.

Anthony's presence brings back feelings she never expected to have again, and she struggles to trust his intentions. Are the watchmen really looking after Charlotte as they claim--or are they looking to make trouble for Roland's estate and heir? Despite the constant reminders of their past, Anthony must remain focused on the task he was hired to do. But when new threats emerge and the past collides with the present, both he and Charlotte must decide what they are willing to risk for the chance to right old wrongs and carve out a new future . . . together.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Sarah E. Ladd's novels are just the right combination of romance, mystery, intrigue, and faith . . . This book has a great balance between romance and mystery which kept me engaged from beginning to end.'

Excellent read!!

Great story absolutely love the reading. I can’t wait to get the next.
Well worth it ❤️

Nice

Clean and nice. It developed in a short time (the main plot), not a long story-line.

Could not put this book down!!

Love Sarah Ladd's writing. Jude Mason's narrations are akin to Katherine Kellgren, who in my view was The Best audio narrator. This story had a great story, anger, intensity, emotion, romance, and lots of secrets. Looking forward to Sarah's next read.

the story was ok but not great

I don't find the story engaging and it moved along slowly . Narration was clear and the voice was pleasant.

Another excellent novel Sarah Ladd

Sarah Ladd novels are always one of my favorite writers. Can't hardly wait for her next story.
