Resumen del Editor

In 1522, the very night they were wed, Royce Morgan and his new bride, Beatrice Godwin, were murdered on their way home to Lacybourne Manor. After the cruel deed was done, a local witch came across their bodies, witnessing firsthand the tragedy of star-crossed lovers. Vowing that Royce and Beatrice would someday uncross those stars, using magic mixed with murder as well as true love, she linked their spirits together with hers (because someone had to protect them) forever...or until their reincarnated souls find happily ever after.

Now arrogant, forbidding Colin Morgan lives at Lacybourne, knowing, from lore (as well as the portraits of Royce and Beatrice that hang in Lacybourne's hall and the small fact that he looks exactly like Royce Morgan), that he is the reincarnated soul of his ancestor. One stormy night, flighty, free-spirited, scarily kind-hearted Sibyl Godwin comes to Lacybourne and it doesn't escape Colin's notice that Sibyl is the spitting image of Beatrice. However murder, magic, a warrior's heart beating in a modern man's chest, a woman bent on doing good deeds even if they get her into loads of trouble, a good witch whose family has vowed throughout the centuries to protect true love, distrust, and revenge make a volatile cocktail.

This means the path to happily ever after is paved with tranquilizer darts, pensioners on a rampage, Sibyl's bad morning moods, heartbreaking misunderstandings, and all kinds of magic, good and bad.

4.5 Stars!

Narrator Review: For the most part, a really good narrator. My only complaint would be when she impersonated some of the side, female characters, they sounded like 80 year women with a smokers voice. I loved her female lead voice and she didn't do a too bad of a job on the male lead voice.

Story Review: This was an enjoyable read. I struggle with some of this authors leading men because they can be A-wholes but I never got mad at Collin. He was still "my way" only but he didn't stampede over Sybil. Sybil was a bit too flighty but that seemed to be the goal of the author. The epilogue was super cute with the dog Malory. I would listen to this story again.

Had me at the beginning

If you could sum up Lacybourne Manor in three words, what would they be?

Totally awesome scary

Who was your favorite character and why?

Can't make a decision . All

Have you listened to any of Abby Craden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time
didn't nice job

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When he found out who the girls were

Awesome 😄

I enjoyed listening to Abby Craden make Kristen Ashley's " Lacybourne Manor " characters come alive! This is the second audio book I've listened to , of the series " Ghosts and Reincarnations". And NOT in order. They are definitely stand alone books without cliff hangers. This audio book was suspenseful, funny, and steamy but not graphic sex scenes. Definitely worth a credit. Enjoy 😃

Super good

This is so good , funny, romantic, caring, I like Kristen Ashley books stories, she is very creative! I’m getting ready to read the book 4 is this series! Can’t wait

This series is my all time fave!!!

All of them have been outstanding but this one is my all time favorite!!! LOVE!LOVE!LOVE!!!!

One of her best

This is a captivating story with excellent character development and building suspense. It is a little confusing at times keeping up with the movement between times but that is minimum. The main characters are well depicted in the narration. There is just enough humor to relieve some of the building tension. The prevalence of LOVE between the hero and heroine is well portrayed and performed as is the LOVE between the other characters including the animals. I thoroughly enjoyed the book including the pacing even though it is a long bool, Highly recommend. I also appreciate the adequate depiction of the love making WITHOUT the vivid descriptions that are sometimes in books.. erotica....

Obsessed

Love all of Kristen Ashley's books , this series was another exceptional lot, wish there were more .

Little Black Dress

Star crossed lovers...from this life and pass life. But true love wins! I really enjoy this book, just a delightful story.

Excellent!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Lacybourne Manor to be better than the print version?

Great Series and this one was as good as the previous ones. I really loved the couple (old and new) even though in some points you really come to hate Collin, he is just a typical British rich and spoiled male. The narration was excellent too, and as I am a huge fan of Kristen Ashley, although the stories of this series are different than her other books and series, they are really awesome and definitely have the 'Kristen Ashley' character they should.

Not my favorite characters but still a good

I enjoyed the listen. But the two main characters had a bit of an unbelievable connection. Over all I liked the mix of stories and, as always, Kristen Ashley's story telling. She is an automatic download for me.
