Summary

In this sweet Regency romance, Amelia Barret will risk everything to keep her word — even to the point of proposing to a sea captain she’s never met.

Amelia Barrett, heiress to an estate nestled in the English moors, defies family expectations and promises to raise her dying friend’s baby. But she knows she can’t do it alone and finds herself in the surprising position of asking Graham, the child’s father — a man she’s never met before — to marry her.

When the baby vanishes with little more than an ominous ransom note hinting at her whereabouts, Amelia and Graham are driven to test the boundaries of their love for this little one.

Amelia’s detailed plans would normally see her through any trial, but now, desperate and shaken, she’s forced to examine her soul and face her one weakness: pride.

Graham’s strength and self-control have served him well and earned him much respect, but chasing perfection has kept him a prisoner of his own discipline. And away from the family he has sworn to love and protect.

To save the child they’ve both come to love — and any hopes of preserving their fledgling love — both must learn to relinquish control so they can embrace the future ahead of them.

very religious

I have never read/listened to regency romance with such strong religious theme. not my cup of tea but it doesn't distract too much from the romance.
Other reviews complained about the narration. It is not that terrible. The main issue I would imagine is the fact that the narrator is American and because the setting in England, we expect British accent.
I did think however that the book stopped quite abruptly. A lot was unresolved. we didn't even get to the wedding. we don't know if he is going to the sea and leave them behind, or what happens to Edward in the end. What about poor Helena? A lot is left hanging so that is why I have 3 stars, particularly as there was a lot of dragging throughout the book.

Good Christian Regency

Would you listen to The Heiress of Winterwood again? Why?

It was good to find a Christian Regency that was more than a fluffy, mushy romance and actually had a strong supporting storyline and well drawn characters

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

A little predictable but generally good.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The American narrator reading a book set in Britain was a bit of an issue, though she did do her best, I think she found British accents challenging. Also, she seemed to read rather slowly, extending a 350 page book to nearly 11 hours.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Rather too long to listen to in one sitting.
