Miss Isabella Thaws a Frosty Lord

By: Larissa Lyons

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

Length: 4 hrs

Publisher's Summary

Blind from a young age, a Regency heroine risks her overbearing father’s displeasure by attending a house party, never dreaming she’ll meet a formidable lord who will discover all her secrets and still want her for his own.

Dominated by her father’s rigid ways since a twist of fate stole her sight, Isabella uses the magic of Christmas to steal away for an adventure of her own when invited to join friends for the holidays. Oh, how she adores Christmastime!

How he abhors Christmastime! Lord Frostwood lives up to his name, freezing out everyone since a childhood tragedy hardened his heart. Everyone, that is, until a spirited wench falls at his feet and proceeds to warm his cold existence, thanks to some strategically placed mistletoe and their resulting Christmas kisses.

sorry 😞

am sorry to say I could not go past chapter 1, the narrator was just so bad.

Wonderful story!!

I'm so glad I found this book!! Wonderful, heartwarming story, beautifully written by Ms. Lyons and narrated extremely well by Mr. Furlong! This was a first experience for me with both author and narrator...very impressed with both!!

Very well written and excellent narrator

loved it very well written enjoyed very much and narrator the very best

Gave up after 12 minutes

Sorry but I couldn't even force myself to finish one chapter. The first thing to hit me was the dreadful narrator. He sounds like someone trying to put on some dodgy British accent to impress an unsuspecting,p American. I'm going to assume the author is American, or just extremely ignorant. Or both, judging by her command of language and notion of life in the Regency era, Christmas and "all it stands for" as we know it do not apply to them. Anyone who's read Pride & Prejudice knows that. Anyone who's read P&P or any book in or on the Regency would know their language and customs better. This book has failed before it's even started. Even for free you can't tempt me to listen to single minute more. Ugh.

Great Story

Loved this story, Al the characters worked well together. Couldn’t wait to see what was coming next in this story! Great job!

Feel good fluffy story

I enjoyed this listen it’s cute and the main characters have enough development to feel like people. It’s pretty fluffy with not a lot of tension and a few slightly spicy scenes. There is an occasional angel aside that I found a bit confusing although I understand why it was included.

Arabella and Lord Frost

A cute defy story. Lord Frost was a determined man to get the girl. Arabella didn't let her blindness get in her way. A mean Dad caused some angst.

Sweet story

Heartwarming story of 2 tortured souls. Loved Isabella’s character above all. Despite her heartbreaking circumstances, she didn’t become bitter. She drew out Lord Frosty From his dark world. Great to have wonderful friends like they did. Great story snd narration (Note:with mature scene at the end)

Unexpected

It was a perfect respite; no overly drawn out plot, dramatic inner thoughts or stupid misunderstandings. Funny and Smart characters, quick paced and witty writing. Well done - just well done.

Welcome read

This was a well written, heart warming tale of share love and healing. Enjoyed very much.

ok

I found the mild swearing a little incongruous..not needed. would have been better without it.

absolutely fantastic book

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this book.
and so very grateful to be able to do this.
this author is new to me and I will be following her work from now on.
as I am sight impaired person. I really appreciate that our story is told the correct way.
the norrator has done a fabulous job.
I would recommed this book 💓🙏🏾
the details to Isabella blindness is spot on.

Too short and tacky

Overly dramatic coming from a blind person who has listened to this book, pieces are a little unbelievable, I’ve picked this book as I am blind myself, I would recommend the book to anyone that wants some mindless listening. I give the book this review because coming from a plain perspective even in historical fiction I find it quite uneducated

Fantastic

Loved the MCs and the open communication between them! FMC is visually impaired and written well imo. Frost was a great hero; i enjoyed his patience and open admiration of Isabella's character❤️

Enjoyable

Another good tongue I. cheek book with twists and turns and great detail of what went on

well read

beautiful story and the best narration I've heard in ages, many books now mismatch the narrator to the story, this was a good match

Short but lovely .

Lovely story about two people that have never met, but her best friend thinks they are right for each other. She, Isabella is blind and he, Lord Frost is a bit of a grump.
They are both invited by their newly married friends to a house party at Christmas and so the tale begins.

Love this sweet story and have listened to it a few times, especially when I need cheering up.

Rey witty romance

Loved this story . Loved the narrator, great voices , perfect comedic timing. Not too mushy. Right up my street.

Very sweet short story

Nice little romance bringing up the questions of what did disabled people do in 18th century England

Love at Christmas

Enjoyable novella about a blind girl finding love with a grouchy lord over Christmas.
The narration by Gary Furlong was not bad though I think in this case it may have been improved by being read by a woman.
