I have read and listened to this story a few times and I love it. In fact I love the entire series. I'm so happy that you're sharing them on TH-cam. I hope it'll draw more people to listen to this series.
@@AuthorSallyBritton and really really enjoying Book three. Well done , so very different. It has slipped Hope into our hearts ( along with her gorgeous gallant rescuer too of course 🥰🥰)
Oh Sally thank you for giving the sweetest Grace a journey of growth and boldness with her closest friend. They always were the perfect couple. Her desire to stay as a pillar in her community doing charitable works should never be undervalued. She needed to come out of Hopes shadow because it was dishonest of her to let Hope take the credit for her good ideas and stopped others knowing the real Grace. The healthy relationship between Jacob and his mother is a precursor of how Jacob will treat Grace. It is so precious. The growth in her father is subtle but it is clear to him by the end that Graces brave steps are very different to Hopes. I love the rainy orchard scene. What a lovely ending. And thank you Marian for your incredible range of different voices, a different one for every single character.
I really don't think Grace let Hope take the credit so much as Grace likes being in the background. It didn't matter to her - or to Hope, really - who got the credit. They worked together for the outcomes they wanted. In Hope's story, when she thinks about Grace and how much she loves her sister, she genuinely wants Grace to find happiness and more confidence. Whereas Grace knows Hope needs to learn to curb some of her impulses. As for the father...well. Just wait until you get to Romancing the Artist.
I am SO happy to have discovered this channel of clean romance books. I have searched so many places and now I feel as if I have found a hidden treasure! I have listened to the first two books of the Inglewood series and have immensely enjoyed them! I am looking forward to listening to the rest of this series and all of the rest of the books on this channel. Keep up the awesome work!
Welcome aboard! I'm always excited when new people find their way here. :-) If you haven't subscribed yet, please do, so you don't miss my next upload coming soon. ;-)
LOVED this one and the series. I too am an introvert. A good thing now my hubby of 31 years has passed. I loVe my home plants animals art. Not in that order I onlyhave a couple of friends and am totally fine with that. I have been this way since a child. Cant wait to listen to the next in your series. thank you!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this second book of the series. As a woman of faith, I appreciate that these books, though not Christian, per se, have morals and values indicative of faith. The writing is delightful and the narration, wonderful! Now, off to read Hope’s story …
I call my books "secular inspirational." I posted about it just today on my social media sites. Maybe I'll trot on over to the TH-cam community and do it there, too. I think there's so much value in writing books this way.
Initially I passed this book over, but I've realized that this series is enjoyable when listening to the full story without skipping. Very graceful and sweet story. I'm liking it immensely. Usually the first of the series is generally, though not always, my favourite, but this time I'm not sure. Neck and neck with number one, and I'm only 3/4 through.
I've listened to several of your stories and I have to say that this one is by far my favorite. I think one reason is that I can identify with Grace more than any of your other heroines. Although I have always truly disliked stories where twins switch places the way you wrote this was quite appealing to me. I also enjoy that you do not belabor the ill-mannered and negative characters, dragging things out unnecessarily. Thank you so much for making your stories available in this way.
Twin stories where they switch places haven't been my favorite to read, either! So I tried to write a version of that trope that I would like. :-) Where they were both discovered fairly early on. ;-)
Just finished listening to this wonderful story. Truly enjoyed it and am very thankful I found this author! I will be recommending her books to others❤️
Most absorbing & enjoyable! I appreciated the links to wider characters. Anticipating the stories to be made with them 😊 Thankyou so much Sally, l think lm addicted to your stories ☺️
Dare I say that I liked Grace better than Hope in the previous book? I really enjoyed this story, and love how you brought them together. I am a little hesitant to listen to Hope's story, for some reason!! I will probably like her once I start her story though, lol. Glad I found your on TH-cam. I went back and realized I had already read a few of your books, so have been doing some lovely re-reads. 🙂
Grace adores her sister, so Hope can't be all bad. ;-) I love them both. I think you'll like Hope once you get to know her. She just has...impulse control problems at times, but that comes with her passionate nature.
Loved Grace's and Jacob's story. I think its the first time I read a regency romance where the hero is a vicar. I'm not sure why, since it's one of the few occupations a gentleman could have, you'd think there would be more books about them. As you did with Jacob, a man of faith can be passionate and romantic while also having the principles a vicar should have. Thank you for writing this story. I enjoyed it immensely ❤
There is a wonderful work of nonfiction called "Gentlemen of Uncertain Fortune." It has so many wonderful details - and it's written with an entertaining style - about the types of "appropriate" ways for gentlemen/noblemen's 2nd, 3rd, 4th, sons to earn a living. A LOT of men chose to be vicars/rectors/bishops strictly because it was an acceptable profession. Many of them never taught a single sermon, either. We have great examples of vicars in Jane Austen's work. Her own father earned his living from the church and whatever land he was allotted while working in that capacity. She certainly respected the position, but then she gave us people like Mr. Collins (really wouldn't want to listen to his sermons) and Mr. Elliot (pompous and arrogant man). So even Austen made certain we were all quite aware of the fact that not everyone who chose that occupation was right for the job. All that being said, it was REALLY fun to write Jacob. Someone who was sincere in his wishes to use his vocation as it was intended. To help and guide his community. :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It's really sad how many chose the profession without having sincere wishes to help others. Reminds me of our time, when some go into the medical field for the money, rather than wishing to help sick people. But I'm sure sincere people like Jacob existed then and now as well. Thanks for the information! It was very interesting ❤🤗
My favourite book of yours so far. I am a mixture between the twins: I don't like attention and have often been underestimated or overlooked, yet I have always wanted to see the world and have lived abroad for more than 7 years. You have a great talent for telling stories, thank you for sharing your books on TH-cam! Greetings from Bonn (where Beethoven was born, so he's not Austrian like you mentioned in this book, although he mostly lived in Vienna)
I really, really know he isn't Austrian. :-) I maybe should add an author note to that effect. He was part of the Austrian music scene, of course, and that's how many of his contemporaries referred to him. Since he was a major player in what some would now call "the Austrian music tradition." Glad you enjoyed the book!
@@AuthorSallyBritton I'm sorry for assuming you didn't know! It has been a matter of contention between Germany and Austria for ages. Beethoven considered himself a Rhinelander, he never adopted the Viennese dialect and even shortly before his death he signed his letters "Beethoven Bonnensis". I have now listened to all of your audiobooks on TH-cam and have enjoyed them very much. Thank you again!
@@Lindalindali I didn't know it was a matter of contention! I've sense researched deeper into it, and I vow from hence forward to refer to Beethoven as he would refer to himself. A Rhinelander! If his music appears in my books again, you can be certain someone will mention where Beethoven is really from and how he identifies himself. Thank you so much for the conversation about this. You've helped me to learn more and next time I will do better. :-)
I love Grace! Thank you for sharing her with us. I really connected with her. When asked, if I could go anywhere where would I go, I instinctively say my grandma's house and I wonder if Grace would answer similarly. Is there a place she'd rather go to than a comforting, familiar place with people she loves?
Grace is happiest where she feels love, comfort, and acceptance. I can't imagine her wanting to run off to explore when she has the people she loves nearby.
It is so wonderful to listen to books by this author. The great grandchildren can listen with you without you having to be embarrased. I love all her stories. Listened to some of them 2-3 times. ❤
Whoa, whoah, hold on a minute! Hope dressed sheep in bonnets and shawls? Then she pranked the neighbors with blackmail letters?! I need a prequel to the Inglewood series!! 😆 I'm revisiting the series again and starting to notice all the little details I didn't before 😅.
In Chapter 17, I am exceedingly disappointed in the men in Grace's life. How dare her father say she doesn't try to change the world for the better? She's done one thing for herself in her life. One act of self-preservation, during the execution of which she continues to think of the wellbeing of others. How dare they act as if she's a wholy selfish person? They better do some growing to deserve Grace. Edited to add. Her love interest stepped up, but her father is still on my list. I loved Grace, and just want her to be fully appreciated.
A point in his favor is that he didn’t make her speak before the congregation. He seems to be slowly understanding why she made the choices she did. Grace didn’t have a chance to shine with her dynamic sister nearby. Another indication was when her father told Grace that it might have been better to separate her from her sister sooner. What a good thing Hope got on that boat!
I’m really enjoying these stories. The excellent reader helps of course, but these tells unfold gently without the endless repetitions of the Simply books or the roller coaster rides Chesney insists on. Heyer is the gold standard, Chesney lives on in my heart forever, and now Britton is showing real promise of becoming a keeper. Can’t wait to read one of these ❤
Ah! Very interesting that you mentioned Wilberforce the reformer. I am discovering his writings as well as Jonathan Edwards. Two of the most astonishing men in history I believe! Anyhow, once again I thoroughly enjoy listening. Much appreciated!
Glad you liked the audiobook! And yes, I love mentioning real historical people and/or events in my book. Little historical Easter eggs for people who know. :-)
The book was great. I like the overlooked person trope which is also in the first book, and how the relationship envolves between the two, such a chemistry. It had only one minor flaw for me, Beethoven was German, not Austrian, and while this may be unimportant to many people, I do not like when editors do not fact check. I thought the narrator was fantastic, good distinct voices
YAY! I love that you brought it up. This was a deliberate wording on my part. While Beethoven was born German, he spent a LOT of time in Vienna, which is part of Austria. He was thus considered part of the Vienna artistic and musical movement, and many classified his music as "Austrian," especially during the Regency time period.
That may be true, but as a German myself living in Vienna for over a decade now, I am still German and would never consider myself Austrian. Living and working abroad does not change ones nationality. Handel lived and worked in London most of his life, but still he was a German composer all his life
My narrator did an incredible job. This one is definitely slower paced, as is the first in the series. I think it's because I love long books, and when I read I always want details that authors leave out. Lol.
My first Sally Britton book and so far I am really enjoying it. I have just one question however, will it get to a point in future books where I won't want to shake some sense in to Hope?
😂 Yes. Hope learns and grows. And she's not all that bad. You're seeing her in this book through the eyes of her sister, whose personality is quite different. Even my husband thought he wouldn't like Hope's book. But I promise she does some maturing and learns.
Swapped twins, so delicious !! And a lovely biplay of the two disparate characters and the hero realizing the value of a shy delightful lovely person he hadn’t seen properly before.
Also a really fascinating study on narcissism and how people are attracted to narcissists instead of quiet folks with greater integrity. You’re a brilliant psychological observer Miss Britton. 😊
Dude, narcissism is horrible. But that's not who Hope is. I have a narcissist villain/father in another series and lived with a diagnosed narcissist growing up. Hope isn't a horrid person. She's just outgoing and willing to stand up for what she wants. Grace recognizes this and wishes, sometimes, she was more like her sister. It's the difference between an extrovert and an introvert. In her turn, if you read/listen to Hope's story, you'll learn how much she admires Grace's quiet strength and wishes she could be more like her twin. They're not as dissimilar as they think, but not "the same" in the way people might expect sisters/twins to be. :-)
And -- possibly equally true for the way that girls fall for the popular boys, I haven't though through that. I just mean that these social patterns that you have so perfectly portrayed, really shape our self esteem and adult lives, and maybe if we understood them better we could live better and happier sooner. Anyway, yes, I think a lot. Love your super-intelligent writing.
I like Grace! I'm like her too and I love to read stories with women who are not so forward. I don't like when women in historical stories are so much like contemporal that one wonders why the author write historical at all and I avoid reading such stories.
I think a lot of people like the world of the Regency even when they don't like the rules. Sometimes, it's fun to find ways to break those rules for our characters. But I also think we do women of that time period a disservice, to think they weren't as interesting or as vivacious as we are today. I love writing women who fit into the time period and STILL have strength, courage, kindness, and drive. I'm so glad you loved that about Grace!
Hmmm... I have been listening to the books in order, having just read The Artist . I have strong unhappy opinions about a character. I do not want to give any benefit of the doubt to the character. I am still unhappy about that! 😢😂 I am posting this comment while I am only on Chapter 1! Maybe I have read them out of order? It doesn't matter - I will continue to binge all the Inglewood stories I can find!
@@AuthorSallyBritton its not one of her top most novels, but a sweet good fun story. I've now begun to enjoy her side characters so much more than when I was younger..
This is one of my absolute favorites, because it is a genuinely shy and an introverted heroine who is not a doormat or pushover, and who also does not have some sort of transformation into being a more outgoing heroine
Thank you for writing a clean book. You prove that a wonderful story can be written without sexual content
So glad you enjoyed it!

And -- possibly equally true for the way that girls fall for the popular boys, I haven't though through that. I just mean that these social patterns that you have so perfectly portrayed, really shape our self esteem and adult lives, and maybe if we understood them better we could live better and happier sooner. Anyway, yes, I think a lot. Love your super-intelligent writing.
I like Grace! I'm like her too and I love to read stories with women who are not so forward. I don't like when women in historical stories are so much like contemporal that one wonders why the author write historical at all and I avoid reading such stories.
I think a lot of people like the world of the Regency even when they don't like the rules. Sometimes, it's fun to find ways to break those rules for our characters. But I also think we do women of that time period a disservice, to think they weren't as interesting or as vivacious as we are today. I love writing women who fit into the time period and STILL have strength, courage, kindness, and drive. I'm so glad you loved that about Grace!
Hmmm... I have been listening to the books in order, having just read The Artist . I have strong unhappy opinions about a character. I do not want to give any benefit of the doubt to the character. I am still unhappy about that! 😢😂
I am posting this comment while I am only on Chapter 1! Maybe I have read them out of order?
It doesn't matter - I will continue to binge all the Inglewood stories I can find!
The Artist is a sequel to the whole series that this book is part of.
I just listened a second time. I don't remember what I even mentioned by the above comment!
Each story gets better and better each time I listen
Another regency story of twins exchanging identity is Georgette Heyer's False Colours. Men who are twins in that case.
I so adore Georgette Heyer! If I’ve read that one, I’ve forgotten it. I’m off to add it to my reading list!
@@AuthorSallyBritton its not one of her top most novels, but a sweet good fun story. I've now begun to enjoy her side characters so much more than when I was younger..
😍😍😍😍😍
This is one of my absolute favorites, because it is a genuinely shy and an introverted heroine who is not a doormat or pushover, and who also does not have some sort of transformation into being a more outgoing heroine
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️➕
I can't find book 1 to this. Is it on youtube?
It is, and I hope you found it! It's called Rescuing Lord Inglewood.
