The Earl and His Lady

Branches of Love, Book 4

By: Sally Britton

Narrated by: Rachael Beresford

Lady Virginia Macon, the recently widowed baroness of Heatherton, has an impossible decision to make. Her late husband's unscrupulous brother demands guardianship of her sons. The courts are on his side, unless she marries someone willing to stand in her late husband's place. Locking her heart away and devoting herself to her children is the only way Virginia can countenance such a decision.

Wearied by the world, Lucas Calvert, earl of Annesbury, is tired of being alone. His wife's passing six years previous left his life gray and empty. His only recourse has been to make life better for those around him, using his considerable wealth and influence. When he learns of Virginia's plight, he knows he can save her and her sons.

During one of the rainiest summers in England's history, Virginia and her children bring light and color back into Lucas' life. But will Virginia's determination to protect her heart destroy their possibility of finding happiness together?

It was difficult to hear the soft voices. I found I had to replay the part and turn the volume up.

It was a great story overcoming grief and finding happiness! I loved the children and their experience handling grief and finding happiness again.

Her hero

I have only listened to 4 of the books in this series but I love Virginia's story the best. I cried with her when her husband died in book 2 from TB and my heart hoped for her as she agreed to let Lucas be her protector and they shared their pain from lost loves. Lucas was her hero.

Happiness At Last

Wonderful story. The Earl and Virginia deserved to be happy and the narrator is a very gifted story teller. The children gave humor to the story and the villain, I felt sorry for him. All ended well with a deserving HEA.

Perfectly Predictable

Being predictable isn’t always a virtue, but in this case, it was written with perfection. Loved it.

Heart warming sweet romance.

Wonderful story of happiness found after heartbreak enhanced by a great performance that distinguished the characters ...loved the children and their voices. A perfect escape from the cares of our world.
