About this listen

A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.

Nell Caldicott awaits the return of her violent sailor husband with trepidation, but for once her fears are not realised. Her husband’s ship, the Brig Minerva, has sunk off the Cornish coast. Nell is free, but her husband has left her with little money and many questions about his past. Gradually, as his secrets are laid bare, she realises she didn’t know her husband at all. Can she uncover the truth? And can she ever learn to trust a man with her heart again?

Nathan Harbottle is on a quest to find his missing cousin, but the tragic wife of the Minerva’s captain attracts him more than he cares to admit. He wants to help, but he’s powerless to intervene. However, their lives are destined to collide in unexpected ways, and his resolve to be nothing more than a friend to the beautiful widow is sorely tested. Can he set aside his own past and convince her to take a chance on love?

This is a complete story with a HEA.

I was about to buy another book, by this author. However decided to listen to what I had, to remind me of the style of writing.
This author writes of a certain era, but ignores all the rules of time. The only bastards who were acknowledged by the TON, were the royal ones. Children of marriages to natives were not recognised as legitimate.
There is alot of soul searching, wringing off hands, family disputes and other melodramatic behaviour. This is common theme in the other books I listened too. BORING
The narrator draws alot of attention to herself, as you wonder what she is about, with strange accents and sounds. The worst is guessing the story within the first two chapters, then being drawn out thinly to make up the required chapters.

Melodramatic, Overextended,Predictable
