Story
Aletha Dewitt has led a charmed life. At least, that is how it appears from the outside looking in. Yes, she has had everything a person could possibly desire - except real respect. Because she was born female, her grandfather doesn’t believe she is capable enough to be a part of the family business. What he doesn’t realize is she has more ideas and ambition than her brother will ever have. She sets out to prove to him she’s more than up to the task. Nothing will stand in her way, not even love.

Just as good as the last one in this series
Any additional comments?
As the last book left off with Pearla finding out at the altar that her soon be husbands wife has come back from the dead. Needless to say the wedding did not go through leaving Pearla heartbroken and wanting to get out of town as fast as she can. She isn’t thinking to clearly and takes up the first man who offered a fast getting away on his ship. Everything is going well until they lock her in a cabin and she can’t get out. To her surprises someone else is thrown in the cabin with her, a man, what is she to do? It seems there are evil plans in store for her but of what kind and what can she do?
Ms. Hale’s narration is wonderful she has a lovely accent that really pulls you in. Her male and female voices are lovely, you always know who is talking and just what they are feeling. There are no repeats of words, no background noise or any volume changes. She gives a very thrilling narration right down to the fear and a heart that has been broken before. She puts a lot of emotion into the characters you have no trouble seeing the scenes in your mind as it holds you attention. I thought her performance was wonderful. She really brings the story to life. I haven’t listened to any of her other work and do look forward to listening to more.
The author brings and exciting story to life just as exciting as the story before. You do get to visit with past characters and see how they are doing. I enjoyed how this played out danger, excitement, love and fear with a little humor that makes you laugh. I think with what Pearla knew of Damian she should have known not to believe what was said. I loved the baiting between these two, their fights were very interesting. The ending was exciting I never saw the ex doing what she did. I was glad to see the outcome of the ones that took Pearla they sure did have some nasty plans for these two. I really felt so sad for Pearla in the last book and even sadder for her in this one. Damian is such a play boy it was nice to see him on his knees. He did change his mind really fast, one minute he doesn’t want a wife and the next he is all for it. I thought this was a very exciting story that really held your attention from the first page until the last.

Romance, Adventure, and a second chance!
This is the first book by Dawn Bower that I have listened to. What a book! It is well a well written historical romance that brings so much to the imagination. I thought the narrator did a fantastic job with the various characters. I enjoyed the story with the unexpected twists. This book is part of a series and yet a standalone listen. I will definitely look for more books by this author and narrator. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I leave it up to the professionals to write the synopsis as they are much more eloquent. I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Discarded Pearl A Marsden Romance, Book 5 By: Dawn Brower Narrated by: Kristina Hale Series: A Marsden Romance, Book 5 Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins I listened to this book at 1.60x Gemma won't open her heart to him, until he loved her. This was a good ez listen. To tell the truth this is the first Historical fiction seriers that I have listened too. AND my first time listening to Author DAWN BROWER. Not sure if its really for me, but I am going to listen to the rest of the series. If you like Historical fiction you'll probably like it. I just have to listen to more to find out if its really for me. At speed 1.60x the vocal artist did a really good job.
