Acerca de esta escucha
Book one of the Calhoun Chronicles by number-one New York Times best-selling author Susan Wiggs.
Boston and Rio de Janeiro, 1851
An awkward misfit in an accomplished Boston family, Isadora Peabody yearns to escape her social isolation and sneaks aboard the Silver Swan, bound for Rio, leaving it all behind.
Ryan Calhoun, too, had a good family name. But he'd purposely walked away from everything it afforded him. Driven by his quest to right an old wrong, the fiery, temperamental sea captain barely registers the meek young woman who comes aboard his ship.
To the Swan's motley crew, the tides of attraction clearly flow between the two. Teaching her the charms of a lady, they hope to build the confidence she needs to attract not only their lonely captain's attention, but his heart, as well. For everyone knows the greatest charms are not those of the formal lady, but rather the possibilities of a new world built on love.
A historical romance.

Tess Delaney makes a living restoring stolen treasures to their rightful owners. People like Annelise Winther, who refuses to sell her long-gone mother’s beloved necklace - despite Tess’s advice. To Annelise, the jewel’s value is in its memories. But Tess’s own history is filled with gaps: a father she never met, a mother who spent more time traveling than with her daughter. So Tess is shocked when she discovers the grandfather she never knew is in a coma. And that she has been named in his will to inherit half of Bella Vista, a 100-acre apple orchard in the magical Sonoma town called Archangel. The rest is willed to Isabel Johansen. A half-sister she’s never heard of.

In Regency London, a woman escapes from a burning warehouse only to realize she doesn't know her own identity. Although the locket around her neck bears the name Miranda, she has no recollection of her past. Nor does she know why two very different men want her - the devilishly handsome Scotsman, Ian MacVane, and Lord Lucas Chesney, the nobleman who claims to be her betrothed. In a race against time to discover who she is and which man she can trust, Miranda embarks on a soul-stirring journey that takes her from the dazzling salons of London to the craggy Highlands of Scotland.

Loved the story
I loved this story and the characters. The narrator spoke the male voice way too lazily for my liking. I would definitely read more by this author but not listen to the audio version.

A Charm-ing Tale!
This was very touching and unique! I loved the characters of this story and I liked watching their journey. The ships crew and their adventures, as well as their mission of freedom... very beautiful.
I did want a bit more of the romance. And there was no epilogue which made me sad. But on to the next one!

The first Susan Wiggs book I didn't like
I've read and enjoyed so many Susan Wiggs books, and this is the first one I didn't like, in fact I REALLY didn't like it More like an unpleasant naked chested man with woman story, kind of like the cover. I was listening at the gym without headphones, and some parts were turn it off now obnoxious, multi page sex descriptions. Just don't like it.
