Great read.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As hooked as I am on these regency novels, it doesn’t surprise me at all that those ridiculous women took so long to be found worthy as equal righted part in society. They are spoiled, arrogant and ignorant. They are the very ones who create the stupid rules of morality and reputation among themselves. They are the very ones to disrepute other women and to shun them from their midst. In reality these regency women are disgusting.

Enjoyed the story. The reading feels Like a slow motion auction

Surely not…. Surely she will tell Adelia and Briar about the Duchess’ threat and not steal. Only one hour in and ready to skip forward. No Way!!! I now do not like Eliza and she Definitely is not worthy of Gilbert. I cannot believe she was so stupid. I skipped forward to hear the last few chapters. A satisfying ending though I am not sure it would have had so few consequences for Eliza in that era. Maybe I can listen to the middle chapters now. I am not sure what Gilbert sees in her. In my opinion this match could never work. She is clearly not ready for marriage and they will encounter fallout from her trust issues. I know it is brave to confess but she leaves it too late for someone struggling with conscience. After all Baxter is a Magistrate, Fletcher a leading barrister and Gilbert a vicarious. The whole family is justice driven and honest. Even her friendship with Adelia would be strained. I love your books. I just think this is a bit unrealistic. And my favourite scene is where Gilbert stands up to Baxter on Eliza’s behalf.

Thanks for the concepts you have investigated here. Adelia is having a spiritual crisis due to having been manipulated by an indifferent parent. So when Phineas truly discovers peace in his marriage she does not recognise it as authentic. Her nervous system has been busy fighting to feel safe emotionally for 3 years and she does not understand love. All she knows is that she feels deep guilt for manipulating just like her father did. This has caused spiritual angst. If only there had been a Vicar on the boat. Instead she is reactive and catastrophic in her thinking, a normal trauma response. My favourite scene is the image of her spinning around in the rain, finally calm and refreshed. It is how we all feel when we finally understand the love, belonging and forgiveness that comes with knowing God personally and not just wishful thinking.

Sweet story, great narration but I must say I wanted to throttle Fletcher and Audrey for not speaking up earlier.

What a horrible family Rosalind has, along with her maid. But isn’t Archie lovely. I am so glad he married her. It was the best rescue from the awful Duke. My favourite scene is their picnic and rowing day. I also found Archie’s fishing activity with Edwin hilarious. The story of “Little Miss” truly was haunting. Thank you for sharing this delightful story with us.

Oh Baxter you idiot. Get on your knees man. He is So bad at wooing that he makes her want to leave the Continent. That is quite an achievement. Thanks so much for this story. Several times I felt my jaw drop at the audacity of Baxters insults. It was lively, fiery and passionate and so much fun to listen to. My favourite scene was their first meeting. However I also really enjoyed Baxter as Magistrate putting Mr James in his place. And Phineas reaction in the snowball fight. This book was read a little faster than I am used to so I stopped many times if I missed something. I wonder which Fernley brother is next.

I liked book one and two very much especially cause they are clean romance, however i find it very hard to listen to this book (please take this as a constructive criticism to a novelist i becaming a big fan of and i am not trying to be rude)the description of Egypt and the people and religion doesn't much what was Egypt like in the 1800s 1-Alexandria was not a complete desert at all 2- despite the fact that Egypt is well known for its camels, horses where fairly used since 1700 BC 3-the major religions in Egypt during 1800s was Islam and Christianity There were no pagan Gods since 49 AC i think I am still in the beginning of chapter 3 but i will try to listen to it as a work of complete fiction just because i am invested in this series and your writing Thanks

Angela, thanks for this. But tell me why your heroes often get battered to near death? Arundel, next book to this the hero goes blind if I remember correctly, and our dear Alexander gets abducted and almost dies.

Thank you💜 It is amazing!

I love the sister’s relationships. My sister reminds me of Elizabeth and I relate to the way Jane thinks. But I guess Elizabeth is a better heroine. And I love Mr and Mrs Bennets love for comedic value. It’s hard to pick a favourite hero and heroine but Persuasion is very passionate. I love how Miss Bates loves everybody in Emma.

If you are re-working the Earl books I’ll just mention that acrylic paint wasn’t invented till 1934 or used till even later. I didn’t want to stress you with that till I heard this. So just mentioning it in case it’s helpful. Historical accuracy isn’t always everything because fiction is fiction and early books are a starting place that show how far you’ve come. As do Jane’s Austens early books. So no worries. 💖 I really loved the book about the lady novelist and saw 4444 in the views which was a wonderful sign from the universe.

Beautiful! ⛲️✨💖

Half way through the book and I find Adelia the only sensible one. She is respectful, polite and knows what she wants. Yeah, she was desperate for the guy, but I wouldn’t call it teenage drama, cause her desperation was driven by fear of eternal loneliness. She was already referred to as a spinster even by her own father and brother. Both Fernley and her father were selfish and greedy, but she was compassionate, she believed that the treasures of Egypt belonged to its people and nobody else. And she truly cared about her maids and their values, even though they didn’t bat an eyelash before betraying her and didn’t even apologize to her. I kinda hate every other character except Adelia.

Thank you! I see 4444 in the views. A lovely sign from the universe and lovely characters, writing and narrator! 💖🤟🏻🥰✨

I was looking for a long reading and happily I found it. So many voices! I enjoyed them all. I finished my last two hours with my feet up drinking tea. I look for more. Good job!

She'd been in his room, kissed him often, if she was to catch pneumonia she would already have caught it. But then no one knew before that she was expecting.

That was wonderful!!!!!! I am so thankful this is a series because I love this book so much.

2:26:53 “Even the king had married [...]. Queen Charlotte was from Germany.” Yes, indeed. (And definitely not black, by the way) But the king also was from Germany. So his wife wasn't really from outside of his society.

Lavinia! I am cheering for her!3:37

The sibling relationships are delightful and welcome change from so many other novels. It's very sweet

Archie needs to send the vicars daughter to ask the vicar for "the long wait". My Uncles found it very useful to send them to their mother to ask for the long wait when they were working on cars etc, when eager females wouldn't take the hint that they were busy. My uncles insisted that they couldn't complete the job without it.

In the gear settings at the top of the screen, I was able to slow down the speed. Normal or 0.75 are better for listening. In Additional Settings, it also helped to switch off Stable volume.

I so enjoy your stories. I am glad for this story, but the reading is about twice the speed I can process. Is there anyway to slow it down so we can relax, enjoy it, and process the tale?

Angelajohnsonsweetromance, I have a bone to pick with you. You are giving pockets in dresses a bad name! 😂🤣

1:47 Lavinia Wicks??? I read/listen to many, many Regency novels. Is this a crossover? It has to be.... How many shy Lavinia's are there?

Your narrator is so passionate. I just finished 3:41 and her heart wrenching reading is brilliant. This book is so sad. Your acknowledgement of two different people living under the roof of a neglectful father, is just so sad. These two characters want such different things. Her own father acknowledged how terrible he is... I completely agree. He's terrible. I don't see how these two should ever be together, except for the compassion and "free ticket" Mr. Fernely can provide. It's not a modern reason to marry. But I can't help but think Fernely could marry her and send her to Gigi to live in England while he lives his life across the world. But that's not a happy ending either. I need a book club to discuss this plot!

Loved how Debra was so feisty I totally want more of Alex and Debra. I just had a feeling there was going to be a kidnapping but I kept thinking it was going to be Debra and Alex was going to rescue her and then realize he was in love with her. I guess that's Debra's next novela 😅😊❤

Thank you so much to the author and the narrator for your hard work. I appreciate very much your efforts to bring us this story.

😀💘

Amelia is a terrible person. Everytime she screws up, she punishes Phineas! He is too good for her! I like all your other books better so far. It was hard to wish for her happiness.

Narrator is good, the book waffles in the mid section wich lost my interest a bit, i feel this book would make a good short story.

Wonderful story ❤❤❤ Thanks 😊

Thank you for allowing me to listen to your book. It's amazing. I enjoyed every minute. ❤

So excited

Very good

Another good story by this author

Enjoying this hope there are more stories. The author is very good and the narrator is very good

I like her stories

This one is probably my 2nd Favorite story of the Fletcher Family as of right now. This one had me 😢. Thank You! 😊❤

I don't feel like Adelia was a drama queen I felt she was lonely and wanted a sense of belonging her own Dad was tired of her and didn't really know what to do for her. I'm very happy that she wound up with Phineas and I hope if there's another epilogue that comes along that they have lots of beautiful children 😊❤

I truly love your stories. Im in the Middle of Mr. Fernley and the Lady it's such a sweet loving story. They have so much respect and curiosity about each other. 😊❤

Thank you for this series , very much enjoying it. Just a shame that the narrator is unable to make calm rhyme with arm . But on the whole , beautiful.

I had listened to book#5 first and absolutely loved Fletcher and Audrey. I hadn't relized it was a series until almost the end now im finished with book 1 and I loved Briar's spunk and ao glad she got her Happy Ending 😊❤

I can't bear the suspense 😢
