The Difficult Life of a Regency Spinster: HARRIET

De: Susan Speers

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Pale, plain Harriet Welles is the vicar's sister and his housekeeper. Her quiet life has begun to chafe her restless heart, when the American heir to Lavender Hill arrives. Peregrine Dashiell's surprising inheritance brings him from the streets of Boston to embrace his family legacy in Derbyshire. He takes the reins of a grand but troubled estate, while coping with the village's memories of his beloved predecessor, and the return of a devious scoundrel. A good beginning is threatened when his own unsettled past arrives on his doorstep. Harriet finds untapped depths of loyalty and courage within her as she helps Peregrine adjust to his new life. But unexpected, tender feelings make her fear another disappointment with a Dashiell man.

interesting story line but a little hate to follow with so many characters with the same name.

The AI reader needs more work to sound authentic. Sometimes it was difficult to tell if a pronunciation was a local dialect or an AI error.

Very Good Regency Romance - VV ok

I very much enjoyed this Unusual Regency Romance - interesting storyline & characters. The usual errors with Virtual Voice as well as flatness of reading, but not too bad. The first part of the story held my attention more than the ending which was a little too pat.
FYI - no bedroom scenes, but one character’s life as a woman of pleasure is spoken of or referred to, but not with any specific details.

I like the virtual voice narration

Good story. It had a bit of a twist at the end that was nice.

3 HEAs in one book

Actually, there were four, although the personalities & romance of the fourth couple weren’t developed much. The basic story was better than I expected. What I really liked was that all the couples had real obstacles to overcome, instead of silly misunderstandings. The ending was a little abrupt. About a minute after the couple admitted they were in love, the book was over. An epilogue would have made the ending more satisfying.
