Publisher Description
"She was born to lead London Society. He could not leave it fast enough.
With a few well-placed words in the right ear, Anna Tunstall can direct anyone to do her bidding, exactly the skill needed for one destined to be the wife of a man in politics. A summer visit to a friend’s country estate is the perfect distraction before the London Season begins and Anna can achieve her ambition of a perfect match.
Harry Aston has spurned the noble aspirations of his family to enter holy orders where he might make a difference in people’s lives. His mother’s untiring attempts to find him a wife worthy—and wealthy—enough to suit him only serve to set up his back. He has never been in love, and she should not think that suitable wives dropped down from heaven, especially not in the village of Avebury.
When Harry finds Anna unconscious on the road, and she awakens in his arms, his world shifts at her gaze. But before he can think that heaven has come through at last, he must convince Anna that her prolonged stay in Avebury is not fate’s way of toying with her, but rather opening her eyes to a new direction for her ambitions—and her heart.

Sweet story
Audiobook review:
This is as lovely story and I enjoyed it. The characters are interesting and engaging. Anna, staying with a friend at her country estate, is first encountered by Harry, the local country clergyman after she has been set-upon by footpads. As their association continues, Anna’s visit unexpectedly lengthened by the dissappearnce of her friend’s husband, both develop feelings for each other, but they face difficulties in the form of Anna’s love of London society, and the secrets of Harry’s background. This is the second book in the series but it works well as a standalone read as well. This is a sweet and clean story romance with no harsh language.
The narration is good and I liked it overall. The tone and volume were steady and easy to listen to. The narrator has a pleasant voice and varied the voices for the female characters, but there was less variation with the male characters. I did find that sometimes it felt like the narrator over-enunciated words.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
