Protecting Her Heart

De: Nancy Campbell Allen

Narrado por: Danielle Cohen

London, 1887

When newly graduated medical doctor Charlotte Duvall receives word that her father has died, she immediately leaves America and returns home to see to her family’s estate. Among her father’s possessions is a box of her late mother’s letters, which feels like a balm to Charlotte’s grief-stricken heart. But the letters contain some inconsistencies that suggest there was more to her mother’s death than Charlotte had been told. She turns to the one man she trusts more than anyone—her treasured friend and director of London’s police force, John Ellis.

John Ellis has harbored feelings for Charlotte ever since he first met her. Tucked into his heart are thoughts of her sharp mind, quick wit, and remarkable beauty. Though he has not yet found the courage to share his feelings with the young doctor, he is eager to help her in her hour of need.

Investigating the details of a death was not how Charlotte imagined she would find love, but as she and John work to unravel a dark web of secrets and lies, she finds herself relying on him more and more—and opening her heart to him in the process.

As the danger draws ever closer, John vows to do everything in his power to protect Charlotte from harm. But he fears protecting her heart might come at the cost of breaking his own.

Wow! Amazing finish to this series!

Please don't be put off by the change in Narrator!! I increased the narrative speed slightly, and it took only a few minutes for me to adjust to this new narrator. I soon realized she was very talented as she brought each character to life! She is amazing! This story is so compelling and exciting that I was entranced! I loved every moment as the mystery built and unfurled to an astounding finish! Thank you Nancy Campbell Allen for a fantastic mystery and beautiful, wholesome historical romance! Great series!!

Had a hard time adjusting to a new narrator

I wish I had noticed that there was a narrator change. It was not the same. I can’t blame the new narrator, it’s not her fault. I had a hard time getting into the story and it felt very slow. I finally sped up the narration and it helped. Just not as good as the first 2 books.

LOVED THIS BOOK!

Not read this author before, but LOVED this story AND the narrator. Both have become FAVS because of this winning combo. The story grabs you instantly and keeps the reader/listener guessing who the killed Kat, the mother of our heroine. Who's trying to kill our girl and why? DCI Ellis has a vested interest in this case. It's personal and involves three Members of Parliament. Excellent Who-Done-It.

Great Story from Victorian England

The books in this series are enjoyable mystery and romances from Victorian England. I recommend Nancy Campbell Allen's Steampunk series, as well.

Best book series!!

I have loved all of these books! It’s a great who done it with love thrown in
