About this listen

Hampton Hall's new owner has the villagers of St. Hampton Heath all aflutter - all except Lavinia Ellison. The reverend's daughter cares for those who are poor and sick, and the seventh Earl of Hawkesbury definitely does not meet that criteria. His refusal to take his responsibilities seriously, or even darken the door of the church, leave her convinced he is as arrogant and reckless as his brother - his brother who stole the most important person in Lavinia's world.

Nicholas Stamford is shadowed by guilt: his own, his brother's, the legacy of war. A perfunctory visit to this dreary part of Gloucestershire wasn't supposed to engage his heart, or his mind. Challenged by Miss Ellison's fascinating blend of Bluestocking opinions, hoydenish behavior, and angelic voice, he finds the impossible becoming possible - he begins to care. But Lavinia's aloof manner, society's opposition and his ancestral obligations prove most frustrating, until scandal forces them to get along.

Can Lavinia and Nicholas look beyond painful pasts and present prejudice to see their future? And what will happen when Lavinia learns a family secret that alters everything she's ever known?

silly siunding narrator suited the heroine, who will give away any wealth she gets and no doubt die of the ague when pregnant as she so saintly insists on tending the sick and poor. well, it was free.

pure heroine's sweetness converts cold aristo

This is very sweet and chaste, sadly rather poorly narrated, annoying and makes the hero particularly sound unpleasant and pompous. Rather ruined it.

Sweet story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Too sanctimonious to allow the characters to come to life - basic story is ok, but way too many biblical references and allusions to morality to be truly entertaining

Too religiously zealous

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The constant religious references takes away from the story. Feels very repetitive and gets boring.
