À propos de cet audio

Scandal does not define the "fallen" ladies of Puddledon Manor's Benevolent Home. Instead, it's a recipe for an intoxicating new future as the women combine their talents - to operate their own brewery and alehouse....

When Penelope Barnes arrived at the Home with her young daughter, she discovered a knack for horticulture - and for cultivating the hops needed to produce a superlative pint. She put her scandalous affair with Harry Graham firmly in the past, along with the wrenching pain she felt when he went off to war. After all, she'd always known a farmer's daughter had no future with an earl's son. Now, she has the pleasant memory of their passion, and she has little Harriet....

Harry went off to fight for the Crown unaware his delightful interlude with his childhood friend had permanent consequences. Now, he's back in England, catapulted into the title by his brother's untimely death. He sorely misses his former life of unfettered adventure, so when he has reason to explore Little Puddledon, he jumps at the chance. But what he finds there is something - and someone - he never knew he'd lost, and a once-forbidden love whose time has come, if only he can persuade Pen he's home to stay....

Contains mature themes.

This is a fun, interesting, entertaining read and a good start to a series. The premise of the story is good. Harry and Pen are interesting, fun, relatable, entertaining characters. They captured my attention from the start and held it until the very end. Harriet is fun character and adds so much to the fabric of the story – as did the other secondary characters. I enjoyed the romance, as well as the relationship between the women of the Widow’s Brew. I’m looking forward to reading the other two books in the series.

I enjoyed the audio version of this book and the narrator.

Good Read

Yawn. The storyline held promise but Sally MacKenzie failed to deliver... again. Sure, the sex scenes may have held some attraction for a teenager experiencing a so-called Regency novel for the first time, in this case, listening, but they were repetitive, had far too much soul searching, and failed to disguise the fact that the storyline had huge holes in it. Why can't authors just come right out and call this type of book a sexual fantasy, set within the Regency, but the author knows nothing about the social mores of the time, about Regency society or family structure during the time period, and couldn't be bothered to do any research? That would be more honest. And come clean about the fact that reading the drivel will kill brain cells so the reader at least has a warning.

If authors expect to make a living out of writing for profit, they need to do some research. It's not about the sex, darlings, it's about producing a novel that the reader wants to read again because the characters were interesting, the plot entertaining, and the air around the characters sizzled.

This author remains in my Do Not Bother to Read file.

I've listened to more boring novels...but not many
