Seeing Miss Heartstone

De: Nichole Van

Narrado por: Cat Gould

Miss Belle Heartstone - heiress and savvy businesswoman - needs a husband. Immediately. As in, yesterday would not have been soon enough. Her mother's attempts at matchmaking have been disastrous. So Belle decides to solve the problem her way - survey the market and purchase the best groom available.

Colin Radcliffe, Marquess of Blake - debt-ridden and penniless - needs a large infusion of cash. Desperately. Preferably cash that does not come with a wife attached. It is no surprise, then, when he receives Miss Heartstone's brazen proposal - her cash, his title, their marriage - that he politely declines.

But before he leaves her, Blake suggests something truly radical: Maybe before finding a husband, Belle should find herself. His simple words send them both on an unexpected journey, spanning continents and years, entwining their lives in ways neither could have foreseen. Can two lonely souls move past societal expectations and forge a unique life together?

Great story.

I enjoyed the story. The two main characters were very likable. The narration was great.

Good story line

This was a good story line but it did drag on a bit much. It would have been a great story if not for this one issue.

Very Cute Story

A cute regency story. A bit less cliche than others, and still has the easy, happy feels.

Loved the characters and storyline!

This story made me laugh, made me frustrated and several other emotions. I couldn’t wait to get back to listening to more. I loved and admired Belle, Colin frustrated me but was probably typical of the time period of a proud male. I look forward listening to more from this author!

story line was very sweet

I loved this sweet clean romance. I will listen to more from this author.

engaging

Good story line and characters that make you finish a good book. I would like more like it.

Captivating Reading!

In this story, Nichole Van incorporates a great blend of 1800 British society mores concerning the place and expectations of women, struggles of the “modern” woman, romance, and suspense. I particularly liked that there were no explicit sexual scenes.

Cute Regency romance.

As a fan of this authors more recent books, I enjoyed getting a chance to read this from her backlist. It’s a fun story and I loved the letters and hidden identity. Very original and sweet Regency romance. The single narrator did well with both parts.

Thoroughly delightful!

Nichole's writing style is fast paced, delightful, and her characters are adorable. Narration was seamless and enjoyable, perfect! A story I have not seen before, despite thousands of romances read. I loved the transformation of the 'marriage of convenience ' proposal turning into a life changing ah ha moment for the heroine to take charge of her own life!

Splendid

I have listened to many many audiobooks and by far, this is one of the very best I have read. It has such a wonderful and original story line. It isn’t loaded with sex scenes, and in fact doesn’t have any which is so refreshing! Sex scenes get very very old and in so many books it looks like authors just cut and paste the same old sex scene from one book to another and another. I very rarely take the time to provide a written book review, but this book is worth my time and writing about! BRAVO!
