A Rumored Fortune

De: Joanna Davidson Politano

Narrado por: Sarah Nichols

A lonely young heiress becomes the poorest wealthy woman in Victorian England when her father dies without telling anyone where he hid his fortune. Can Tressa and the no-nonsense estate manager find the fortune before the greedy relatives get to it first?

Tressa Harlowe's father did not trust banks, but neither did he trust his greedy extended family. He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it. Tressa and her ailing mother are left with a mansion and an immense vineyard and no money to run it. It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager to keep the laborers content without pay and discover the key to finding her father's fortune before someone else finds it first. Award-winning author Joanna Davidson Politano welcomes readers to Trevelyan Castle, home of the poorest heiress in Victorian England, for a treasure hunt they'll not soon forget.

If you aren’t a Christian it probably wont be a great read

As other reviewers have noted this book is strong on the personal relationship with God aspect. What I didn’t fully expect was that it was a main plot driver to the point that the decisions the characters make will probably not resonate with anyone who doesn’t make their decisions this way. It felt very impersonal. The main female protagonists is very wish washy in her on again off again feelings which also felt disingenuous.
There are good plot twists and good writing so if the God thing works for you than you may like this book. The narrator was ok but her male voice was very ominous which may have also added to my lack of connection to the love story.

This author is a great writer!

This is the third book I’ve read from this author and now my favorite book from her as well. I really like her writing and like that it’s actually a story, not just wishywashy, predictable romance.

fun clean exciting Christian book

I very much enjoyed this book. was so sad when it ended because I wanted more.

excellent

i found this was enjoyable to listen to . i gladly recommend this lovely enchanting book.

Great book!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. Will look for more from this author.

A lesson on the vinedresser, vine, & branches in a romantic mystery

I loved hearing about the ways a branch must go through hard things to be truly grafted. I couldn’t believe the romance could develop after early chapters, but it became believable. The mystery was enough to make me fairly sure about some things while others unfolded.

Captivating from beginning to end

I love the way the offer builds such complex characters and you don’t know for sure until the end who is friend and who is foe!

Appreciate the story with biblical lessons

Thankful to find an author who writes stories and includes bible teachings. Please continue to provide good stories and show your love for Jesus!

AMAZING TALENT!

I am amazed at your ability to spin a tale of love and mystery. You intrigued me from your first few sentences and kept me guessing until the very end. I loved your Christian heart!

Joanna has done it again 💕

I love this book. I love this author if you don’t follow her on IG your missing out. She is so good at weaving a full story with believable characters who believe in God. Not in a cheesy, cheap way to tick all the boxes so you can be considered a Christian romance. No one in her books try to force God on the other characters. They live by example. Her characters also struggle at times in their faith and openly pray about their struggles to God. It’s beautiful and real. This is how I try to live my life.

Highly recommend this book. Loved the twist and turns.
