Publisher's summary

RITA Award finalist and Christy Award winner Julie Klassen delivers historical romances brimming with the eloquence and intensity of Jane Austen. In an abandoned gatehouse on an old estate, Mariah Aubrey lives in seclusion. She supports herself by writing novels in secret—at a time when such writing is considered improper and unladylike. Soon the wealthy and ambitious Captain Bryant leases the estate and is intrigued by the beautiful girl in the gatehouse. But will he risk his plans—and his heart—for a woman shadowed by scandal?

Excellent Fallen Women Stories

There are few fallen women in other books of this nature. In the Girl in the Gatehouse, there are several more and their stories are fables in their own right. Amy Meriwether's in particular. Mariah Aubrey's moments of being the foolish girl can make a reader a bit crazy. However, her foolishness kept the plot twists and turns hidden. This is a pg13 rated book. Excellent Characters with believable life stories.

Delightful

This author’s stories never disappoint. Full of all life’s triumphs and challenges. Her character development is excellent. Story lines are compelling. I generally don’t want them to end.

Overall good, but slower than the others.

If you’ve listened to books by Julie Klassen before, how does this one compare?

This one is a bit slower than the others, but is a good clean story with mystery and a touch of romance.

Very enjoyable book!

I listen to a great deal of audio books and would describe this one as an enjoyable light read. It started off slow but held my attention all the way through. The deeper the story line became, the more interesting it was. The narrator did a great job and her voice was easy to listen to. I would definitely recommend this book. It will leave you feeling encouraged and hopeful.
