Summary
In the eyes of London Society, Gillian Phelps is suitable enough. Though the ton whispers about her change of residence, any speculation remains just that: ballroom gossip. No one—not even the other Huntresses, the group of ladies she calls her dearest friends—knows that she is harboring a devastating family secret. Gillian has become adept at hiding the reality of her circumstances, but the close quarters of a house party will test her ability to conceal the crushing truth. And with so many people to deceive, the late arrival of another guest is a most unwelcome surprise.
Despite his standing as a gentleman of the ton, in truth, Scott Sarvol possesses little more than two debt-riddled estates. When an opportunity arises to survey one of his properties, he travels north, only to find himself an unwitting guest at Artemis Jonquil’s house party. He is warmly welcomed by all—except the aloof Miss Gillian Phelps. But when Scott proves himself unexpectedly helpful in a crisis, his acquaintance with Gillian shifts from wariness to something warmer.
As both her charade and her feelings for Scott deepen, Gillian realizes that the truth could spell not only a devastating fall from Society but also a shattered heart.

Wonderful continuation of the Lancaster Jonquil Family
I really enjoy this narrator. She does a wonderful job!
I learned new information about ton expectations and biases.
This love story was fun and depicted well how people that are not blood relations can be our family. It also showed that even in difficult situations a solution can be found if you are willing to ask for help.

Love this author
I have read all of SME’s books and love them all. I enjoy this series, and look forward to more to come from the huntresses; hopefully Charlie’s group of friends too. Hope Springs is my favorite series by this author.

Elementary and predictable
The reader was terribly bland and the accents just made it worse. The script was basic and redundant. All of it had a Whiney obnoxious overtone. That being said for a 12-15 year old female audience it would probably be just fine. I had come to expect more from this author though.

Horrible
I cannot believe the amount of good reviews for this book. It was one of the worst regency romances I have listened to; and I have listened to A LOT. Literally nothing happened the entire book. It was so repetitive talking over and over again about the characters struggles. The chemistry was also lacking for me between the two leads. I barely made it through just thinking it had to get better. It did not. Narrator was adequate.

Loved the flirting
This book is so much fun! I loved the way the characters flirted ceaselessly with each other throughout and obviously enjoyed one another’s company. That is how a relationship should be even in light of the sacrifices that they make

Always love Sarah Eden, but not the most gripping
Great narrator. Interesting challenges to overcome. Characters were a bit whiny and lacked confidence and zeal - but that was her point. Good to see them grow. Won't listen again, but didn't hate it.

Meh narrator. Predictable story line
Sweet but super predictable. I know that's kind of how this genre goes, especially after you've read as many as I've had, but I still would like some surprises. It was a bit boring. I normally devour Sarah Eden's books so I was disappointed with this one.

She did it again
Sarah M. Eden did it again with this book! I love how her characters are all woven together through her multiple series. Wonderfully written and a great distraction while folding laundry!

Definitely not my favorite
Although this has ties to the Jonquil family, it’s not nearly as good. I love her novels but this is the first one I could have done without.

A sweet love story
This is a lovely story about Gillian and Scott. So many wonderful characters from the Jonquil and Lancaster series. Gillian is one of Artemis’ Huntress friends and goes to Artemis Jonquil’s house party and meets Scott. Their individual struggles bond them as friends. I enjoyed the story, but was not fond of the narrator. Voices of women at the beginning were shrill and insipid. Voices changed over time for most characters. I am going to have to read the book and hope the voices in my head go away
