A Modest Independence

By: Mimi Matthews

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

"Fans of the series will enjoy exploring secondary characters' lives and the truly heroic compromises Tom makes to be with the woman he loves." (Library Journal)

He needed peace....

Solicitor Tom Finchley has spent his life using his devious intellect to solve the problems of others. As for his own problems, they're nothing that a bit of calculated vengeance can't remedy. But that's all over now. He's finally ready to put the past behind him and settle down to a quiet, uncomplicated life. If only he could find an equally uncomplicated woman.

She wanted adventure....

Former lady's companion Jenny Holloway has just been given a modest independence. Now, all she wants is a bit of adventure. A chance to see the world and experience life far outside the restrictive limits of Victorian England. If she can discover the fate of the missing Earl of Castleton while she's at it, so much the better.

From the gaslit streets of London to the lush tea gardens of colonial India, Jenny and Tom embark on an epic quest - and an equally epic romance. But even at the farthest edges of the British Empire, the past has a way of catching up with you....

Just ok

Drags on too long. Narrator uses a whisper voice for basically all the characters, which is annoying. I stuck it out, but this was definitely not my favorite.

It only gets better

I absolutely love this series and I love Alex Wyndham's performance! I've never been disappointed in a book by Mimi Matthews!

Romantic travel log. Adventures and experiences in a part of the undeveloped Eastern world.

The adventure of a lifetime

This amazing book seems like an adventure to fine a missing someone, but in actuality it was a journey to discover the truth on one's heart and stepping out into the unknown to get it. What a excellent audio adventure. I highly suggest and recommend

Pretty Good!

A journey from England to India taken by Jenny to see if she can find her lost distant cousin. Tom being the person he is organises to go with her. They pretend to be brother and sister. What a trip to take in 1860. Jenny wants to have adventure and experiences way outside the usual for women of that time. She does not want to be hemmed in by marriage or a man. This is because she had a bad family experience. But just maybe Tom might have a chance. 3.25 stars.
I really don't like the narrator, he has this whisper voice for most of his characters.
