Lady of Breken Manor

De: Heather B. Moore, Jane Redd

Narrado por: Brenna Colleen Castor

No true lady would steal a loyal man from his fiancée, but what if that lady is a ghost?

Lady Charlotte is bored. So bored that when the owner of her manor in Scotland dies, she actually looks forward to haunting, uh, meeting the new owner. Too bad he’s engaged. Because if he weren’t, and if Charlotte could get him to fall in love with her, then the curse would finally be broken.

What curse, you ask? The curse that keeps Charlotte confined to an ancient manor decade after decade, playing parlor tricks on unsuspecting visitors. If only being a ghost weren’t so tedious, Charlotte might actually enjoy her life-slash-death. But the new owner is making her rethink her entire existence.

Fantastic ghostly story

Many thanks to the author for the #gifted copy. All opinions expressed are my own and were voluntarily given.

When Sean inherits a manor in Scotland, he and his fiance, Michele go there to look it over before selling it. He doesn't plan on it being haunted though. Can you imagine? Lady Charlotte was cursed and until that curse is broken, she's forced to dwell in this house.

Brenna Colleen Castor does a beautiful job of narrating this tale. I loved her voice and pacing, as well as her accents and portrayal of each character.

Sean is great and doesn't leave any stone unturned. I fell for him, especially when he finally comes to his senses, and I could see why Charlotte is intrigued with him. As for Charlotte, she's a trickster and delight, but my heart really went out to her.

There are some heart-wrenching moments in this story, with no foreseeable resolution, and I couldn't help but hope for some miracle to happen to break the curse. I wanted the characters to find happiness and be at peace, even with the slight melancholy feeling that shadows over the pages. I had similar feelings while watching the old movie Somewhere in Time. Although this is only a novella, emotions are high and I was fully invested.

This is the perfect novella for this Halloween season…or anytime, really.

Not your ordinary love story

It's been several years since I originally read this novella so when I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook I jumped at the chance. I'd forgotten some of the story so it was like reading it for the first time. I enjoyed the narrator a lot! She brought the characters to life and had such a pleasant voice to listen to.

I liked Sean's character but didn't like his fiancée, Michele at all. I liked that Sean wanted to help Lady Charlotte break the curse and searched for a way to make that happen. He was a determined man and once he discovered there were 2 requirements to break the curse, he was resolved to find the letter of apology from her father.

I wish Sean and Lady Charlotte could've spent more time together before he found a way to break the curse. I also liked that Charlotte didn't just cross over to the other side--she got to choose what she wanted. I'd love to know why her mother cursed her since it wasn't Charlotte's fault her father never married her mother. I liked Lady Charlotte and expected her to be a bit more mischievous before deciding to be nice to Sean. I really liked the character and how she was portrayed. This story held my interest from the beginning, I only wish it were longer.

Loved the story and narrator

I read this novella years ago when it was first released a number of years ago. It was such a great story and listening to audio was like reading it again for the first time. The story is just as captivating as I remember.

Charlotte, the ghost of Breken Manor, is trapped at the manor by a curse placed by her mother because of her past hurts. Charlotte is stuck until the curse can be broken. But it won’t be easy.

Sean arrives to Breken Manor, as he has inherited it. He and his fiance Michele have run ins with the sassy and feisty Charlotte. The town is spooked by the manor too. I enjoyed how events came to be and the way Charlotte and Sean eventually work together to break the curse. The ending is wonderful too!

The audio narrator does an excellent job with the voices and the accents. Her tone is perfect and the story is enchanting. This is the perfect type of “ghost story” for level.

I received an audio code from the author. All views are my own.
