She is a servant girl... When her father becomes ill, Emily Carter finds herself sent into service at Priorsfield Manor in order to provide the family with an income. He will be the Lord of the Manor...

Emily strikes up an unlikely friendship with the daughters of the house, as well as Nicolas, son of the Earl. But as the threat of war comes ever closer, she becomes even more aware of the vast differences between upstairs and downstairs, servant and master...

A well written tale if you've read this type of thing before. Not for under 18

Excellent narrator

Enjoyable for mindless listening, but very cliche and not particularly original. Weak character/ relationship development. Main character, in romance novel style, was too perfect: pretty, smart, hard working, and sickeningly sweet. Of course the son of the wealthy noble would fall madly in love with her ... at first sight, of course.

I would recommend this audio book. Well written a great character development. Performance was terrific as well. Really enjoyed book.

Great story line. Wonderfully read.

Swift moving romance...However fairly pedestrian writing with a good number of 'manufactured' sometimes unbelievable complications!

Basic romance with brisk complications

Definitely my genre. Loved it
I do feel the narration wasn't the best ( every single character seem to sound elederly).
But although the voices were distracting the story was still worth the read or in this case the listen.

I do feel like this book would be more enjoyable as a traditional book rather than audio book though.

Great story
