Summary
A widow moves into the long disused Dower House and makes a horrible discovery in the wine cellar.
Thirty-year-old widow Louisa Middlehope is determined to escape from her late husband’s family and live life for herself for the first time. The tiny village of Great Maeswood offers her the peace and quiet her heart craves, and perhaps, it might provide a little entertainment, too. But the house she has leased has been empty for a quarter of a century and who knows what secrets it holds?
Laurence Gage is still mourning his beloved wife, while raising his two children, and at 40, declining gently into a rather dull middle age. Until, that is, the intriguing Mrs. Middlehope arrives in the village and upends his placid life. She’s nothing at all like his perfect wife, but he’s oddly drawn to her anyway and to his surprise, she seems to like him, too.
Whoever would have thought it? But what exactly is she looking for? Friendship, marriage - or something else entirely?
This is a complete story with a happy ever after. Book one of a six-book series. A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.

very enjoyable
I was rather uncertain about the narrator and it took me a while to add this book to my audible library, however, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and particularly the narrator! Joanna Stephens livens up this entertaining tale, everything is high drama and I actually laughed out loud. All books by Mary Kingswood are a pleasure to me and I have read them all. I happily recommend this amusing story, I like the characters, the village setting and all the extra little descriptions and happenings along the way.

The narrator is the story.
There is a plethora of characters, allowing the narrator to go to town. Her accents are weird and bizarre; I never managed to pin one down. The voices are even more amazing and wonder all over the place. I ended up confused, wondering which character was speaking. You need to pay very close attention.
The story got lost; Why have a French speaking maid, if she need to be translated, was this to give more scope to the narrator.There are lots unusual characters thrown in, letting the narrator have real fun.
I am unsure what I think of the story, as I was held spell bound by the narrator. It ends abruptly and everyone disappears.
