Sir Andrew and the Authoress

Clairvoir Castle Romances, Book 3

De: Sally Britton

Narrado por: Jessica Elisa Boyd

As the daughter of a duke, Lady Josephine has a long list of responsibilities, and an even longer list of things she must never do to dishonor the family name. Josephine knows exactly which side becoming an author falls upon, but she's determined to try her hand at it anyway. For months she has worked on her novel in secret, writing chapter after chapter of intrigue and romance. Unfortunately for Josephine, her sworn enemy stumbles upon her secret.

Sir Andrew Wycomb's close relationship to the Duke of Montfort's family and heir gives him more than one advantage in life. His loyalty to the family is absolute, even if he finds at least one of its members an annoyance. He and Lady Josephine have never seen eye to eye. But when he discovers that she's written a novel upon a subject she knows nothing about, he cannot help but sympathize with her dream. This creates an unlikely ceasefire between them.

But things at the castle are always changing, and when a determined suitor arrives to court Josephine, Andrew has to decide which secrets he's going to keep. Especially when he discovers the one he's kept even from himself—that perhaps he doesn't find Josephine an annoyance at all. In fact, she is quite charming. The more time they spend together, the more he hopes she will realize they aren't enemies, and they could be so much more....

Excellent Narration

I read this book about 18 months ago and just finally gave the audiobook a listen. I really enjoyed the narrator and all her wonderful voices and characterizations. It felt like I was hearing the story for the first time.

I love all of Sally's books and her Clarivior series is particularly witty and sweet. I appreciate how the heroine came across as strong-willed and determined rather than petulant and young as she could have in an audiobook. I will be listening to the others in the future!

Favorite So Far

Cute story. Kept my interest. It is my favorite in the series so far! Sweet kisses, not too detailed, which I appreciate. I enjoyed the main characters!

An author in the family?

This is another in the castle series by Sally Britton. Andrew is a family friend, who has been adopted into the family, close to the oldest son's age. Josephine is the eldest daughter, with a secret. The two of them have been frenemies for years and years. Pranks and bantering have been their relationship for ever. But somehow, things seem to be changing.

The bantering between the two of these characters is so fun. I loved it! Watching them grow in caring for each other was fun. I loved how so many around them knew where things were headed before they did. A fun, enjoyable read, set with the backdrop of the 1819 politics and unrest in England.

The narrator did a good job.

Fantastic, well done

I have absolutely loved this series (and pretty much all the other books Sally has written)! They all leave you with a happy ending!
The characters were so fun and their dialogue was just the best! I laughed out loud a few times. It is refreshing to read a regency with a family that loves and supports each other instead of some awful parents who want to marry their daughter off to some jerk.
You could read this as a stand-alone, but if you want to fully enjoy it I would read the others in the series first.
I also listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator did a fantastic job! It was so much fun to listen to while running errands and doing chores.

Simply Wonderful

Enjoyable and sweet story! I love all of Sally Brittons books and this one did not disappoint. The narration was fantastic! Jessica Elisa Boyd has a soothing voice. And the British accent is a bonus!

To bicker or not to bicker

Good continuation of the Castle community of characters. The romance between Andrew and Josephine blossomed with both good humor and a reason behind their ‘friendly bickering. Wonderful narrator which makes the story itself so much more enjoyable.

Sweet Romance

I really enjoyed this book! It was entertaining and well written. I really enjoy books by this author and enjoyed the narrator.

Lovely narration for a beautiful story

My favorite thing in books is dialogue and this one had such great dialogue.

Andrew and Josie have been debating each other for years. Andrew is best friends with Josie’s older brother and is treated as a son by their parents. He’s always around and always ready to spar with her. I loved their banter.

When Andrew discovers her secret room and her secret hobby of writing, they grow closer. Then when Josie’s brother invites a suitor to their castle for Josie, Andrew’s jealousy spurs him into action.

I loved the energy of the couple. I loved the gentle escape from the world in this sweet and slow romance. This series has been different from Sally’s other books, and while I’ve loved them all, I appreciate these slow sweet romances without too much conflict. As always, Sally delivered on some history too, incorporating some interesting political problems of the time.

Loved this one. Now to go back and re-read my favorite banter scenes. I love these two together! I’ve now read and listened to this book and the narration was beautifully done. The voice was appropriate for the age and didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the story.

great story, great narration

I read this book earlier this year and decided to listen to it as well. I really enjoyed the narration. I thought it was a good performance and that the characters were portrayed well. My only complaint was that there were a few spots where the transition from male to female point of view wasn't immediately apparent.

sweet, gentle romance

it was a lovely and kind-hearted "enemies" to lovers, brother's best friend trope. i enjoyed the banter. the gentle sweetness overall. the ending felt a little abrupt, but overall, i really enjoyed it. fantastic narrator!
