A Not-So-Distant Love

By: Heidi Kimball

Narrated by: Noah Wall

Lady Charlotte Darrington’s path in life is clearly laid out before her: she will select a suitable husband, marry, and one day inherit her father’s Scottish dukedom. But a growing restlessness has her desperate for a bit of freedom before her all-too-certain future closes in. When the opportunity to travel to America arises, Charlotte leaps at the chance and soon finds herself across the Atlantic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her American hosts and their friends couldn’t be more welcoming—all except one. The insufferable Dr. Galloway captures her eye—and her ire.

Life has made Dr. Alec Galloway wary of everyone, including the self-important Lady Charlotte Darrington, who thinks herself above Pittsburgh society. He makes no qualms about voicing his disapproval of Britain’s archaic peerage system, or of a certain peeress herself, though he never intended for his brusque opinions to reach her ears, sparking a conflagration neither could have foreseen. Yet as Charlotte gains insight into Alec’s wounded past, she offers him something that changes everything—her friendship. Despite Alec’s determination to keep everyone at bay, she slowly erodes his defenses, allowing him glimpses of a future he never imagined. Soon he must decide whether to face his past fears and grasp a second chance at love or risk losing Charlotte forever.

So good!

Read Heart in the Highlands first! Both are so good, and you definitely want to read them in order!

Shared small pleasures

Captivating love story. I do appreciate a happy ending. I appreciate alic sharing American food and the popcorn story was delightful. I had to make some myself. Well done.

Every bit as good as the first book

I loved reading Charlotte’s story. The author did a beautiful job incorporating parts of the first book without it feeling forced. This could easily be a stand-alone novel and not simply a sequel to “Hearts in the Highlands”.

I enjoyed seeing the personal growth in both of the main characters throughout the book. I did get frustrated a few times with Alec but that tension is what keeps you intrigued in a story, I suppose. And I loved the ending and epilogue! I also thought the author did a great, well-researched job with the historical aspects.

The narrator’s performance was solid. I know this will be a book I listen to over and over, just like Callum and Katie’s story.

Sweet story

I really enjoyed this story. The reader does an excellent job, and the ending makes me feel like all in the world can be alright. 🥰

Not So Distant Love

This is a sequel to “Heart in the Highlands”. At this time that fact is not noted in Audible. This book takes place a bit in Scotland. Primarily in America. It’s a great easy read with a HEA. Excellent narration.
