Oh how wonderful was 7:38. The last thing I expected was for her to play a part in saving his life. Not sure how realistic it was but so lovely. Phoebe deserved to be out of everyone’s shadow. And Jennie you gave us a “rose in bloom” Phoebe. Such an eventful friends to lovers story. I am not sure how Phoebe restrained herself from taking Martha by the shoulders and giving her a shake. I am glad Frederick tells them off. Thank you for enlightening us about Waterloo by including it in your story. And some of the events and places in Brussels made me want to see it. I also had to chuckle at the fact that you have a Colonel Fitzwilliam in the story (one of my favourites from P&P). These three stories have been so delightful and very interesting. You are so generous to share them here.
Thank you! And you will be very happy to know that the silk handkerchief story is REAL. It's based on my research. (Although I don't know who gave him the handkerchief or whether it was just his own).
I've listened through all the available stories - growing familiar with and loving the characters who are all intricately linked - but this story had me riveted!!! Thank you Jenny for your thoroughly enjoyable stories.
Annadee Morgan's narration is first class. Thank you so much for bringing this to life for all of us. 😀 Jennie Goutet, this is a wonderful novel! I really enjoyed it. Thank you very much for allowing us to enjoy your work free of charge. 😀
I loved the voices Annadee used too though I did find myself chuckling at how often she pronounced “cavalry” as “Calvary”. It must be tricky trying to keep flowing with the reading when these words come up.
Another excellent book! Thank you Jennie for writing this series. I enjoyed it so much!! I wish that this series could be made into a movie. Trying to find good movies without language or inappropriate scenes is nearly impossible, and this series with the family members was wonderful! Thank you again!
@@JennieGoutet yes Jennie you wrote Anna well. At first I was thinking oh Harry don't get sucked in by a pretty face but it was a lovely maturing, after all she still was only about 20 in her second year of come out so really had no idea of any real life's living but parties , balls and a 'good' match even if her husband to be was not a decent human being it was all the surface stuff that eventually for all of us hopefully proves to be shallow , boring and not very meaningful. Three cheers for Harry a lovely Hero. Thank you
I love the history and romance in the story. I love the reality that shows love is a choice and comes with sacrifice at times. I love the thoughts of love for instance, " you Phoebe, are a kind warm hearted courageous, intrepid, beautiful woman." He saw "the beauty of her soul".
I have nothing against miss Annadee Morgan as I'm sure she's put her best foot forward during this series, but miss Stevie Zimmerman's narration in the author's other books is usually so lively and packed with depth of emotion. It always gets me so invested in the stories. Really missing her style of narrating as I listen to this.
I have long read, watched ippits or scenes of the battle of Waterloo, but somehow the soldiers and war heroes came more to life in this novel.I have decided to some more research into the battle.The duke of Wellington seems to have been an inspiring character.
I'm so glad you feel that way. Many of the people I wrote into the book were real and there stories were true. It was hard to move on to another story after I finished this book because of it. Wellington was so inspiring, as was Napoleon although he was the enemy in this story. Thanks for your comment.
This was a good sequel to the previous book. I loved Phoebe singing to her love Lord Ingram. The dance scenes in Brussels were lots of fun. Having Phoebe come into her own was delicious.. It was hard to hear the battle scenes but they were very well done. I loved the tender scenes with the child. Ah the wedding, finally.
This is interesting. I have audiobooked (is there such a word?😄) 130 books of this genre and yet this is the first time I encounter lord Wellington as a close by character.
@@shahmanz "An Infamous Army" is the main Georgette Heyer book that deals in the most indepth way with the battle of Waterloo, and draws directly from letters and other correspondence written by the Duke Wellington and others from the time. G H was considered an expert on the time period. There are 2 prequels to this book: "The Spanish Bride", which draws on the life and journal writings of Sir Harry Smith and his Spanish wife Juana [website the Gutenberg Project has the full transcript of Harry Smith's journal with some parts written by Juana], and their meeting and first year or so of life following the drum during the war in Spain and the peninsular; the other is called "Regency Buck" which is the direct prequel to An Infamous Army.
@@andreas2837 yes I know. Read them all. Though I am not so fond of the infamous army. I somehow don't like most of the characters especially Barbara. But old and grey Dominic and Mary were cute.
@@shahmanz well, I'm pleased to meet another GH fan! Yes, both Spanish Bride and Infamous Army were heavy duty reads, compared to most of her other Regency/Georgian books. I hadn't known much about the battle of Waterloo before that, though, so i was truly educated and appalled. Obviously almost no lessons were learned from it and the war in Spain/peninsular several years earlier because WW1 seemed to be a repeat. All the best!
Netherlands means lower countries but the country was so new - established at Napoleon's first defeat - that I'm not sure the English country name was being used yet. (In French the country is called Pays-Bas, which also means lower countries). I'm pretty sure I took "lower countries" from my research but I don't remember anymore. It could be a research error on my part.
@@JennieGoutet how very interesting indeed. Thank you for this. Some of these countries are below sea level too, or so I've heard. But you've given me new insight into European history about which I know nothing. Thanks. Waiting for your next book.
No Jennie, you were not in error. The Netherlands is still called the 'low country' by some, as much of the country is below sea level. The other as suggested are called 'developing countries' these days. Certainly the Netherlands is not a developing country. stay safe Luci
Hi Jeannette I watched a commercial on your channel 5 minute commercial about a motorcycle rider trying to give you credits for the very loving where you’re providing your books which I really enjoy I don’t know if you’ll have input but the young man use the F word and the halfway bleeped it but I don’t I guess you all don’t get a choice about what commercials play and they don’t now on air time where it is people say whatever they want but I know you write a certain kind of level of book and I just wanted to let you know this is New Year’s Eve night evening and I thought I’d leave you a message about that and happy new year successful 20
Thank you for telling me. I'll do some research and see if I have any control over the content of commercials. If I do, I'll make that change. Thank you also for the way you're supporting my books.
A very enjoyable reading in a recounting of historical events with fictional characters and true characters of their time very well done in terms of the regency style of writing expressing of emotions there’s a thing about war biblically Christ stated they would be wars and reports of wars here we understand about the power of how a war is reported and what the effect is upon the population erroneous reports can be devastating the financial side of Waterloo and how it would affect commerce trade the banking industry itself in terms of interest we’re not really a depth of a part of the story and that the reality is there of how the negative report could’ve affected the construction of English society and time in terms of its wealth and power of the realities of life and death are felt keenly here even among peerage and even what what some considered to be lesser echelons of life and living of the populace are spoken to even in terms of this little village where a child was lost and how old lady highborn took responsibility for safety of a child that speaks to the inherent in someHumanitarianism no matter what the echelon of life for the societal constrictions a song oh of course we must have a song there’s a time for us because time and occurrences befall us all life can be in a moment God and yet some to find the time five stars
Just a bit of constructive criticism, next time please remember to put some punctuation marks into your text, like full stop and commas.What you have written was quite interesting, but it was a bit hard to follow as the sentences were joined into each other.
It is, but you might get more out of it if you listen to A Regrettable Proposal then A Faithful Proposal first. It follows the same family and this is the last in the series. You can, however, listen to it alone.

So happy to begin the continuing story of the Twins. So pleased that Anna finally became the young lady she showed promise off.
I'm so glad you can see her change. Some people can't (but I could). ;-)

have you read An Infamous Army by Georgette Heyer? ... it's very detailed but be prepared for tears
Another series completed! Thank you so so much for your lovely stories 💞
Thank you Pamela. I'm so glad you liked them!

Yay❤Thank you for another great story!
I am loving this story. The timeline.
Loved Anna & Phoebe’s personality ! Also Harry & Federick’s integrity
Very good book!!
Love this narrator.
I’ve loved this series & I’m sorry it’s finished but with only good feelings for the characters, many thanks 🙏
I’ve loved all 3 in the series, but this perhaps is my favorite.
Found it, great!
Thank you so much happy hoolidays and happy new year best wishes to you and your family
such a lovely read. 5 stars

@@andreas2837 I'm glad to meet you too. And all the best to you too ☺️.
Having read The Infamous Army and Spanish Bride by Georgette Heyer, the Brussels scenes are much easier to imagine. Interesting.
This too has done a good job of describing both Phoebe and Ingrams POV..
@@deeboneham2738 yes definitely. Each book is unique
Mrs Morris would be out the door. Wonder how all this ends.
Boney, not Bonnie!

And I finish another thank you
And I start another ❤
Lower countries??
Lower geographically or in status?

Lovely book. A little too much drama for me..but... overall a good story.
Listened 16th Dec 2024
is this a stand alone book!?
It is, but you might get more out of it if you listen to A Regrettable Proposal then A Faithful Proposal first. It follows the same family and this is the last in the series. You can, however, listen to it alone.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ca-val-ry not Cal-va-ry

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... long sigh with a big grin
Quite a few errors in this one.
Like i wish you happy.
Reader mispronounces a few things too like "Bonnie" and "caLvary".
Decent story though.
