About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Mary Balogh's new Wescott series continues as a young woman deals with her father's death and a reversal of fortune.

With her parents' marriage declared bigamous, Camille Westcott is now illegitimate and without a title. Looking to eschew the trappings of her old life, she leaves London to teach at the Bath orphanage where her newly discovered half sister lived. But even as she settles in, she must sit for a portrait commissioned by her grandmother and endure an artist who riles her every nerve. An art teacher at the orphanage that was once his home, Joel Cunningham has been hired to paint the portrait of the haughty new teacher. But as Camille poses for Joel, their mutual contempt soon turns to desire. And it is only the bond between them that will allow them to weather the rough storm that lies ahead.

A really enjoyable book. This the second one that I have 'read' on Audible, about the Westcott family. Good story and brilliant performance by Rosalyn Landor.

A really enjoyable book.

Mary Balogh's moralising can be a bit cloying when combined with Rosalind Landor's treacly voice.

Sweet but long winded

As the second book in the series it did not disappoint. The story was interesting and totally absorbing. As in the first book the narrator was superb!

An excellent form of escapism

I simply love this book in this whole series. I loved book 1 due to Avery and his mannerisms and martial arts. I loves this book because both Joel and Camille are not such great characters from previous book but the author does their characters justice and redeems them amazingly.

I absolutely adore the interactions with children in the orphanage, art references, innovative lessons, 8nternal struggles of both the MCs and their journey.

Narrator has done a wonderful job! love her voice and her cadence is very soothing .

Absolute gem!

I at first couldn't believe I could like listening to audio, because I rather like sinking in my own thought and explore the words but Rosalyn's voice could really make someone want to listening to it over and over again. The story itself somehow pretty much like a replica of main characters but Mary Balogh did manage it well enough to make one curious and cannot let go by setting the book aside.

wonderful
