Love in the Castle Library

In the Castle Library, Book 2

De: Ann Swindell

Narrado por: Marni Penning

Predictability and efficiency have marked Delphine DuVert's orderly life as Castle Stewardess in the small European country of Lethersby—until she is tasked by the monarchy to hire a British researcher. Lethersby needs help solving the 100-year-old mystery of their Lost Queen, a young royal who disappeared into the night during World War I.

Delphine's split-second decision to hire Jack Worthington, a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, has long-lasting consequences when he steps in to protect her from an angry colleague determined to ruin her life. The only catch? That protection looks like Jack posing as her beau. Delphine hesitantly accepts Jack’s offer—and finds her heart being stripped of every predictable and efficient emotion she's ever had.

Jack Worthington believes that his instinct to protect Delphine was the right one, even if it means posing as her boyfriend. But he's determined to stay focused on his research for Lethersby—and to keep his emotional distance after reeling from a broken heart. Yet as the clues to discovering the Lost Queen's story unravel and the court case determining Delphine's fate looms, both Delphine and Jack must step out in faith, choosing to trust that what God has ahead for them is more valuable than the lives they thought they wanted.

Beautiful Story!

I have loved reading this series! This book had great lessons of learning to trust in a good and loving Father who never leaves us or forsakes us. I have loved the characters and their love and care of each other. I did not want the story to end with either book and I hope there is more adventures to come from Castle and its enchanting library!

Wonderful

This was a wonderful clean Christian romance that highlighted the growth of the main characters in their faith and trust in God. There was a mystery to solve along with hearts to mend, and I loved the way the story took me along on the journey with the characters in it! The narrator did an amazing job!

Captivating

This story is captivating! I enjoyed it even more than the 1st book in the series. Usually I am bored by modern day romantic fiction as it is so cookie-cutter predictable. This story had greater depth and moved me deeply throughout. I loved the character arcs and natural development of the relationship between the 2 MCs. I will definitely relisten to this gem! 5 full stars!

Loved Lavished by the Father

Few books have touched me as deeply as this two book series has! Many go through life struggling with the concept of a loving Heavenly Father because of parents who couldn’t be pleased.
This series brings an understanding of God’s desire to lavish His love on us. You can read this book alone but I suggest you read Christmas in the Castle Library first.
If I could supply this book series to everyone who struggles to understand their value to God I would.

Mystery & Romance

I enjoyed this one even more than the first (and I thought the first was great!) Such a sweet story of romance and healing; of learning to trust God’s plan and learning to accept His love. Throw in a fun mystery and it doesn’t get any better!

Marni Penning does a fantastic job with the narration. A captivating performance filled with emotion.
