About this listen
Captain William Hawksmoor of the Royal Navy never expected to inherit Kingscastle and is none too pleased when he does so. Especially when he learns that he must marry within a year or be forever dealing with trustees.
As the new marquis of Athelney, the captain takes command of Kingscastle and discovers much to be done to set it in order. He must also contend with his aunt Lady Willoughby Hawksmoor, who is determined that her daughter will be his wife. When she discovers he is far more interested in Eleanor Burgess, her underpaid and much put-upon companion, Lady Willoughby shows she will stop at nothing to keep them apart.

Funny and enjoyable but... unnecessary misunderstandings
I enjoyed reading this book and the narrator did such a fantastic job. It's rare to hear a male narrator for a romance novel. The intonation and character acting was perfect. On the writing, the book is way funnier than I thought. Characters are also well developed. I loved to see the growth in Charlotte.
Lastly, the only reason I give the story an overall 4 is the author's obvious use of misunderstandings as a way to lengthen the plot. I'm so tired of this in the romance genre.It makes characters behave uncharacteristically irrational and foolish because there's no other real drama going on. Then there was the second couple - cute but we spent a lot or time developing their romance while the main one took til the very last chapter to come to fruition.

Well paced & beautifully narrated story
This was my second audiobook by Sophia Holloway, narrated by Matt Addis. I have really enjoyed these regency stories. Matt Addis brings the characters alive with his narration.

Outstanding
This one took a bit more warming up to than previous books but the characters were fabulous - I loved the nautical patois and character development, just a really lovely story.

Great performance of an engaging by story
Well written and humorous story which slightly labours the romance at its heart but which is enjoyable and full of interesting detail about the characters, their lives and surroundings. Matt Addis adds value to any book he narrates.

Outstanding Book
Such a depth if story brilliantly narrated. I did not want it to finish. On to the next book by Sophia Holloway. I regret I am coming to the end of her books.

Simple but pleasant
A nice pleasant listen again from the author. Felt this one was a little more humorous than others, with a quite predictable end which is fine. Happy to listen to anything Matt Addis narrates, such a talented individual. Lewis

Had potential...
Fantastic narration and otherwise interesting characters and situations; showed insight to life below-stairs, in the workhouses and aboard ship during the regency period - unfortunately dragged down by excruciating main romance plot...
The premise and characters had the potential to be enjoyable listening. A really interesting premise of Navy military men suddenly dealing with running an estate and dealing with local gentry, there was so much potential to have blending the best of Patrick O'Brian (Master and Commander) and regency comedy/romance Georgette Heyer. Lovely sub-plots, and details of workers lives on an estate and below decks, with military tactics interestingly interspersed. But then there were pages and pages of excruciating detail of the primary romance plot and inconsistent characterisation of the main female character. Frankly, had the female romantic character been edited out and everything else remained the same, it would have been a decent story.
The narrator's performance (Matt Addis) was great, and will be looking to see what other novels he had read.

WONDERFUL STORY ….
This has been such a joyous experience to listen to this wonderful story
All characters in the story are brilliant - even the evil ones and I couldn’t stop …
Highly recommendable and I immediately bought the other two books of the author in hope they will be equally entertaining…
The narrator was BRILLIANT 🤩- I shall look out for him too in future !!!!
