About this listen

"Mac" MacTavish impulsively steals his late sister's neglected children, only to discover it's easier to handle a clipper in a hurricane than steer two ornery brats. What he needs is a nanny until he can take the children back to his parents in America.

Knowing herself to be too plain and large to attract a husband, Bea Cavendish has settled for a quiet life of feathering her father's nest - until he dies, and she's left with an estate she doesn't know how to manage. Alone and terrified, she doesn't know what to make of the very big, very angry man appearing at her door with two adorable hooligans in tow.

Does she take in this ill-tempered stranger and his children in exchange for learning what she needs to know? Or is she in danger that this recklessly ambitious man might teach her more about life than which fields to plant?

Most of the real English places names were repeatedly mispronounced, as was a key title - viscount. It became irritating and spoilt the story.

Good but mispronounced places names !

Enjoyed the book American English was used a few times by the author and I know this might annoy some (it is supposed to be a novel set in historical England) however for me this didn't detract too much. Carolyn narrated the story very well with just a few mistakes. Viscount pronounced Vy-cont instead of Vy-count and Warwick as War-wick instead of Warr-ick (although she did correct the Warwick pronunciation half way through the story). Overall though I still give it 5 stars.

Enjoyable story which was narrated well.

struggled to finish it, fell asleep 😴 💤 which helped, I don't know why I try to listen to these sort of books I never enjoy them

Boring

The narrator is hopeless and let's the story down, some of her pronunciations were so bizarre I was left guessing.
The plot is mainly about the heroine, who has been conditioned by her father to act and behaviour in a certain manner. She has never left her village and rarely her house. This I found odd as ladies of her rank were usually found involved in charitable works in their village and with the tenants wives.
The hero has stolen his neice and nephew and is in hiding. He is an American, with good English connection, and everything the heroine isn't, ie keeping up with progress.
There is a drunken father, a bossy loud aunt, a half-brother acting as a footman and other secondary characters.
Though free; I found it tedious, the heroine wants to learn, but dose everything the same, wants a husband, but will not bed him and so on and on and on.
Then suddenly it all stops, the drunken husband becomes a friend, the children are safe and the American gives up his life to live happily every after in her world

This is a long drawn out story.

Nice story but it was so slow; there were times when I wanted to physically push it. Also, one /two things struck me as not good e.g. Bea hitting Sebastian with an iron bar. Sorry about the spoiler but this was excessive.Yes he was wrong but to me he needed help big time. Also, her aunt was not great in the help department either-or and should have done better than simply making her presence felt.
The hero was lovely but his story is now told....to my mind a story about Sebastian woul be interesting . We would find out whether he learns from past mistakes.

Nice but slow !

Goodness - if you can get past the narrator the book is enjoyable. I would suggest reading rather than listening.
Why would a American narrator be selected to read a novel set in England - the mis-pronouncement of so many English words made me cringe, we were three quarters the way through before she mastered the word “Warwick”.
I made it to the end but will avoid this narrator at all costs.

Good story WRONG narrator
