A wonderful book but narration not great…

An inspiring and romantic story amid the intriguing backdrop of Williamsburg about the daughter of a Tory nobleman and a Patriot burgess who fall in love despite the odds and sacrifice their freedom in following God’s direction.

Detailed historical research, engaging writing and flawed, honest characters. The setting was so vivid! Great read by Laura Frantz!

Unfortunately the narration wasn’t that great. The welsh accents were not good at all. I’ve been to Wales. Their accents are amazing! These were not. And the main character’s Virginia accent got on my nerves and sounded like the stereotypical Southern belle who lived on a big plantation in 1860.

Excellence Plot and Charters

The plot weaves a web of spies, heroes and patriots. Perhaps, (or should I say, May chance, ) the plot was too intricate for the length of the book. The ending is complete but the scenes flash by too quickly. I still highly recommend it. I’ve grown fond of Laura Frantz’s work. Aimlee Lilly performs the female voices to protection. However , the males voice lack a base tone. I look forward to more Frantz books set in this time period.

A great read!

This was a great listen. It kept my attention until the very end! I really enjoy her books.

Story wonderful but narration not so

This narrator was terrible with Noble’s voice. It was supposed to be Welsh but sounded more like he was from India. It was an annoying voice that I could not get past. Even the women kept slipping in their accent. It was very distracting.

Fantastic!

I didn't think I was going to resonate with this one as much as I had her others, but I ended up loving it!
