I really enjoyed this book! As I am caring for a family member with dementia, I loved the sensitivity to Alzheimer’s symptoms described in this story, & how they handled it with such grace. I also enjoyed the process of Oliver realizing his love for the right person for him. Very well written! The narrator did a splendid job as well.
Thank you for your kind comment. I hope your family member can feel the love and care you give them. It's an incredibly sensitive topic, and it is one I have watched loved ones go through. *hugs*
I started listening to the old one and was not happy with the narrator. I was so very happy to see you say that you’d redone it. I came straight here. The other narrator made me feel anxious. This one is wonderful. Thank you for your books! I am loving them.
Same here, as soon as I saw the new link in the comments of the first edition, I came straight here. I struggled to follow the story with the first narrator. Thank you Sally for the effort, a voice makes the world of difference to understanding and appreciating an audiobook and your books are truly too wonderful to not be understood. ❤
I loved the first edition and I LOVE this new version of it. Sally Britton puts so much thoughtfulness and a deep passion for her characters into every one of her works. Check them out, each of them will give you a good time listening or reading. Thank you ,Sally, for so many hours of exquisit entertainment and thank you, Vicki-Jo ,for your lovely narration. I enjoyed both immensely. ❤🙋🏻♀ Lisa
Oh, how cute! Aren't they just adorable? I think it was in a book of Laura Kinsale's where the heroine carries a hedgehog around in her pocket. ☺ I assume that the video is for your next audio book, because I couldn't find it in this current one. I'll look forward to the new video! I smile when ever I see the pigeon. ☺ I am currently listening to this one and Unexpected Heiress alternately over and over. I wanted something familiar so that I can just awaken for a minute and smile knowing what the scene is. I don't feel like trying to follow a plot line right now. I know that is so weird, but I suspect that the lady who also listens during sleep sometimes does the same thing. 😉
I like the 2nd edition, and the narrator has such a pleasing voice. Thank you for weaving a sweet CLEAN romance. I agree that the artwork is so very lovely.
What a lovely wholesome story. Oliver is such a nice character and matched with Mattie so perfect even though she never realised. Two lovely people, a perfect match. Great story and great narrator.
Really enjoyed this story, and am glad you expanded and rereleased it. Now I think I'll purchase it! Alzheimer's is so devastating and I've experienced with 2 loved ones, one of which was aware what was happening to him at the beginning. Talking with him about it was heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for leaving a note. :-) I've watched family go through it, too. It's difficult for everyone involved, and it's so difficult to then have people who are less understanding on the edges of the experience.
Wonderful story. I particularly liked the narration. All the characters were clearly identifiable, and the male characters weren’t overly done in the attempt to make them sound masculine. Well done!
Beautiful story. Thanks Sally your stories do stand out among so many stories now available. It's wonderful to listen to and Vicky you're a favorite narrator ❤
What a lovely story through and through! The love within their family between mother and father and the sisters, the love that grew for Matty and Oliver, and the instant love for their baby. They did have diseases and conditions back then that they knew very little about. Too many were put into institutions because there was no help or hope for them. Love shines again as you tell of their gentleness and patients with the father. Well thought out. Well done! Narrator was perfect!! Love the pigeon! Thank you!
I'll bug you one more time ☺... Of all the times that I have listened to this book, I think this is the first time that I have listened to Unsuitable from beginning to end in one sitting. 🥰 (and hopefully not the last! ☺)
Sally, I am currently listening to your new Engagement, but there are times that I prefer to listen to something more familiar. I find it interesting that I continue to return to this one to listen to. I have listened to it countless times. I did want to mention that I have noticed that you use one particular personal, intimate action that I also find special... the placing a bit of stray hair behind her ear. How funny that that is such a special, personal action that we both are drawn to. I am also prone to melt at a wink ☺, which I notice occasionally in your books. Again, thank you for your sharing of your works of labor and love with us online listeners.
This is my ultimate favorite book of yours. Its simple, quite beauty and gentile storyline are so touching to me. I think of this little story often and have listened to it many times. I love Mattie so much, and Beatrice too. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful writing with the world.
Thank you for this second addition to Unsuitable. The new narration is all that it should be to make your story shine. I like to relisten to the books I have enjoyed and I wanted a novella for a restful afternoon, then I spotted this story in its second addition. Thank you so much. It was double the delight. What’s next for those of us who listen on TH-cam? You never disappoint😊
I recently came across one of your audiobooks here on TH-cam, and am now binge-listening to them!! Oh my gosh!! I love them!! I'm a huge Jane Austen fan, and your books are right up my alley :). You have got amazing writing skills!!! I also love how wholesome they are! While I love romances, many are hard for me to read/watch due to explicit scenes which can activate past traumatic memories for me. Thank you for creating such incredible heart-warming and soul-nourishing content!!
Yay! Thank you! And welcome!!! I write closed-door precisely because there are SO many reasons readers look for it. Trauma is a big one. I am glad you found me! On my main channel page, I've listed several friends' channels with audiobooks, and their content is like mine if you're looking for more!
This story allowed me to reminisce on my past. Freshman year of college my perky, vivacious roommate attracted the attention of the handsome drummer on our floor. He would come every night asking me how to win her heart. Two weeks later, he confessed that he looked forward to our conversions every day - that it was what he thought of during the day. He the realized that he had never gotten to talk with her at all, but he enjoyed talking with me - and he asked me out. The relationship didn't last beyond that first semester, but it's always been a wonderful memory!
Thank you for making this sweet and wonderful story available on audio. This is the second one of your books that I've listened to and thoroughly enjoyed. The narration was so well done. I'm very much looking forward to reading and/or listening to all of your books I can get my hands on.
Lovely to hear it come to life with new narration! I listened again, with great enjoyment! Ps the Brits don't say "on accident". It's "by accident"...❤❤
Haha Idk why it took me almost 40 minutes to understand this is a second edition with new narration! I was like im sure this sounds familiar 🤔 😂 now to finish the story hehe ❤
Hi enjoy your books. As a side note to be aware of the Utube audio books find a bigger audience ( poor eye sight people that can no longer “read” or even people that are slightly have difficult reading ) audio books are favoured ( longer more to enjoy ) ( than a “cut down version of a story” like if a book is made into a movie ) cheers
Keep in mind a lot of people start and stop books, so some things are reiterated for those who are coming back from reading breaks. From a writing perspective, this is also called "reaffirming the stakes." And...y'know...this is really not very polite considering you're getting a lovely, professionally narrated, professionally edited novella, completely for free on TH-cam. Have *you* ever written a book?
@@AuthorSallyBrittonPlease give lots of hugs and encouragement to the first narrator. It's not as easy as we listeners think. She didn't give a terrible narration and the diction was clear and concise; it's difficult to adopt a different accent consistently.
Historical accuracy? In blunt terms, hard to get the needed 8 or 9 kids out of an older woman before the end of her fertility. Why 8 or 9? Figure 1 in 3 (1 in 2 for the poor) lived to adulthood. Down to 4 or 5 adult children, and slightly more than half would be girls (2 or 3). Leaving only 1 or 2 heirs. Which was the almighty concern and point of marrying. Times in history were not as they are now. Life was nasty, brutal, and short. High society was spared some of the unpleasantness, but not all by far. That is where the beauty of love and romance is even more important.😊

Wonderful to listen to this again, The new narration makes a world of difference. And there's your little pigeon. 🥰
I put that in specifically because you mentioned it!
@@AuthorSallyBritton lol That's so sweet of you! I enjoy seeing all your special little touches
I came back to find this comment because I want you to know the newest video features a hedgehog! ;-)

Yay! Was about to comment yesterday if a new version would be uploaded 😍
That's perfect timing then!
I'm looking forward to listening, thanks for letting us know!
What a lovely wholesome story. Oliver is such a nice character and matched with Mattie so perfect even though she never realised. Two lovely people, a perfect match. Great story and great narrator.

Excellent. I had liked the other, but a more experienced narrator really adds to the book. Thank you.

STOP THAYS SO CUTE
Great narration.Thank you for the beautiful story
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this interesting & beautiful story. I am revolted by bodice ripping & foul language, so I found this absolutely refreshing.❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thankyou so much for new narrator

loved this so much!! the narrator was incredible and the story is so sweet 🥹
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely thank you!
Great narration. Easy to listen to and understand. Thank you for sharing your stories. 😊
Thanks for listening!!!
Aww why!!!!! Why not posting this first. Still, your books and uploads are appreciated.
Because 💰. Authors are basically small business owners. Everything we do, create, share costs us time and finances.
Bellissima storia, raccontato con grande gentilezza, amore GRANDE ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Yes the narrator can make or break a story ( choose carefully ) mostly well done cheers
Thank you!
Loved this!
Lovely. Artwork appropriate and beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
I am really enjoying listening to this book❤
Lovely to hear it come to life with new narration! I listened again, with great enjoyment! Ps the Brits don't say "on accident". It's "by accident"...❤❤
Historically, they used both! Early British journals and newspapers confirm it. ❤️
Oh! It sounds odd to my ears, 😂should have known cos I can tell you do extendive research, most appreciated in your books!!🎉
Such fun. Truly enjoyable. 🎉
Thank you, am enjoying very much, poor Matilda being so down played by even her Mother, a spinster at 26 🤔
Tell me about it!!! 😅 But her mom was being a bit dramatic. As mothers sometimes are.
I really really loved this one.
Now that is a true Englishg accent (I am not even a native English speaker). Better narration than the 1st Edition.
Glad you enjoyed it!
🥰🥰LOVE IT!!
I enjoyed this lovely story 😊.
Thank you! 😊
Great story❤
Thank you! 🙂
Haha Idk why it took me almost 40 minutes to understand this is a second edition with new narration! I was like im sure this sounds familiar 🤔 😂 now to finish the story hehe ❤
I know! That happens to me sometimes, and then I read the description of a video and I'm all... "Oh!" I hope you enjoyed it!
I loved it 🥰

Beautiful narration and I’m not even in the story 2 mins
She's a very talented voice actor!
How many times do you need to remind us of the necessity of Beatrice to marry well; why Oliver was asking her out and ECT,ECT,ECT.

Have *you* ever written a book?
th-cam.com/video/xyvYH12imOY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared Is this the same book
Yes, but with a better narrator. :-) The last upload had a LOT of complaints. Not only here, but in reviews on retailer sites.
@@AuthorSallyBrittonPlease give lots of hugs and encouragement to the first narrator. It's not as easy as we listeners think. She didn't give a terrible narration and the diction was clear and concise; it's difficult to adopt a different accent consistently.
She is VERY talented. I would certainly work with her again for a contemporary or American romance!
Why do the writers act as if 26 is old enough to be a spinster? I know some lovely 26 year olds.
Historical accuracy?
In blunt terms, hard to get the needed 8 or 9 kids out of an older woman before the end of her fertility.
Why 8 or 9? Figure 1 in 3 (1 in 2 for the poor) lived to adulthood. Down to 4 or 5 adult children, and slightly more than half would be girls (2 or 3).

That is where the beauty of love and romance is even more important.😊
Precisely this.
It's a REGENCY ROMANCE...
