Pine Cottage Series

De: Renee Riva

Narrado por: Susan J. Iannucci

Ellwood Manor, Rose Glen, West Virginia, 1864

Young Lady Adaline's days fluctuate between tea parties in the rose garden at Ellwood Manor and attending to wounded Union soldiers injured in the Civil War. When the town's hospital, plantation homes, and government buildings, overflow as makeshift hospitals, Adaline's mother, Lady Ellwood, offers Ellwood Manor as a convalescent home to recovering soldiers.

Adaline and her best friend, Maggie, tend to the men by cheering them with reading Charles Dickens stories and writing letters home for them. But when they realize most of the men will be spending Thanksgiving away from home, they offer to put on an Autumn Ball and Feast for the soldiers and local ladies.

Love, heart-break, and good-will join hands in this heart-warming holiday story.

Christmas Romance

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I loved this story. I teared up and laughed. Another great one by Renee Riva. I still love the narrator.

Lady Adaline’s Autumn Ball

A sweet novella about the young ladies who stepped up the nurse injured soldiers. Not only are they concerned with their physical healing, but their mental healing as well. What better way to lift their spirits than to throw an Autumn Ball.

I enjoy Renee Riva’s sweet, wholesome stories. This book was a reminder that not every person gets their happily ever after...

This was my first listen of one of Susan J. Iannucci’s narrations, and I thought she did a nice job.

Nice

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. I enjoyed this short story and was glad to see that certain rich people are ordinary. Also to the ending I was so glad for one of the heroines but sad for the other. I hope that her story is the next book, The descriptions were great and helped me to know more about things that happened during the Civil War.

Heartwarming story

Touching and wholesome story of young women who put their heart into helping wounded soldiers. Very good storyline but I didn't feel the narrator was right for this book. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Delightful characters and sweet plot

I enjoyed this historical fiction which takes place in the time of the civil war. Delightful characters and sweet plot that keeps you listening.
Since I already listened to an audiobook in this series I was not as distracted by the narrator’s whispery voice for this one.

Good Historical Novella

Good Historical novella. The characters are great, and the story is beautifully written. I loved Adaline and Maggie's story. Susan J. Iannucci did a good narration.

Replace the narrator please!!!

I could hear every breath the narrator took, and I know it sounds petty, but I had to stop listening after a few minutes because it was driving me crazy.

I don’t remember if I liked the story or not because I was so zoned in on the narrators heavy breathing and British accent.

I gave the story 5 stars, not knowing if the story itself is any good, but I don’t want the bad narration to hurt a potentially talented author.

Get a new narrator please so I can try listening again and I’ll change my review!

Lovely Historical Romance

This was a nice historical, romance listen that takes place during the magical holiday time. If you are a fan of Renee Riva's other stories, it has a very similar style. The ending was also a surprise for me.

Susan did a nice job with the narration. I could of used slightly more distict voices between some of the females.
