Wealthy wool magnate Tremaine St. Michael is half French, half Scottish, and all business. He prowls the world in search of more profits, rarely settling in one place for long. When he meets practical, reserved Lady Nita Haddonfield, he sees an opportunity to mix business with pleasure by making the lady his own. Nita Haddonfield has a meaningful life tending to others, though nobody is dedicated to caring for Nita. She insists the limitations of marriage aren't for her, then Tremaine St. Michael arrives-protective, passionate, and very, very determined to win Nita's heart. Contains mature themes.
My thoughts:
I like Burrowes books. They do not always need some crazy scheme to drive the book forward (a murder, spying etc, you know.) Instead we have a book where the couple get to know each other, without something crazy going on ;)

Nita believes she will never marry and is ok with that. She helps the people in the village and acts like a doctor for those who need it and who can not afford the real doc.
Tremaine is there to buy sheep. He is a good guy, not really looking for anything, except for sheep.
They talk, they get to know each other. They move around the village. She helps people. We get to know her family and yes here there is some drama. Not with them but with...someone else. Not a lot of drama, but there is something going on. A little plot that moves into their sphere too.
I liked that they really got to know each other. That they had time to fall in love. It was a sweet story to listen too.
Narration
James Langton did a good job. I liked his accents. He worked well for these roles and this book. He had a voice that fitted the story. Enjoyable to listen to. it really was perfect for audiograce b

ReplyDeleteIt was fun :D
DeleteOh that's a new author to me. Thanks for the super review!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks
DeleteI remember this being a really sweet read. Glad you enjoyed it, too!
ReplyDeleteHers usually are :)
DeleteI like stories that don't create some crazy scheme to either bring together the h/h or to drive them apart. Sounds like a good story. I've not read her yet.
ReplyDeleteIt was just so simple, they met, they liked each other, they did struggle a bit and then hea
DeleteWhat I love about this author is the emotional intimacy she builds in a story. Glad you liked this one. :)
ReplyDeleteShe is great at that :)
DeleteSounds like the narrator was the perfect fit for this.
ReplyDeleteTotes
DeleteOh I'm always on the lookout for new audiobooks and decent narrators, so thank you for putting this one on my radar!
ReplyDeleteBoth good ones :)
DeleteI haven't read this author and I don't read historicals anymore but this does sound like a good book.
ReplyDeleteI adore HR, light and fun stuff
DeleteMost people will tell you that I have a really hard time listening to audiobooks because it makes me sleepy (lol), but I love this storyline. The idea of a woman who is more focused on helping others, and not rushing into a relationship sounds pretty intriguing, along with the subplot. Really enjoyed your review! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI get that. It's easier when you do something. Like being online. walking etc
DeleteThis sounds perfect for me. I love low drama.
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
It was so nice for a change
DeleteI have not read anything by this author before. I am glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteShe is good
DeleteCome to a village to buy sheep, end up finding your one true love - not a bad deal :)

LOL, true :)
DeleteI still need to keep going with this series. I read the prequel and then flitted to another series of her.
ReplyDeleteI do like how there isn't overblown drama in her stories, too.
Hmm, dunno if I have read the prequel, I think not
DeleteI have enjoyed the books I have read of hers. I must keep this one in mind as you bring out some good points about it.
ReplyDeleteShe is good and I have sure read a lot by her
DeleteI think I would enjoy this one.
