So This Is Love

An Austen-inspired Regency

De: Laura Hile

Narrado por: Ruth Redman

Newly escaped from a loathsome engagement of convenience, Charlotte has no interest in romance.

More than ever, she is convinced that no man would—or could—love her. As companion to an aging aunt, Charlotte’s new life is as predictable as it is circumspect.

But on Christmas Eve she is rescued from a robbery by her uncle’s heir, a masterful man who is disastrously handsome.

Why has he remained as a guest in the house? Why is he so determined to draw Charlotte out and make her talk? It isn't as if he likes her!

Romance is not on the chart for Captain Jack Blunt. Never again will he be played for that kind of fool!

He is ashore only to heal from an injury and see to business, nothing more. And yet the pointed disinterest of his cousin’s pert niece is intriguing. She is forthright, refreshingly honest—and altogether lovely. She will make a fine wife for one of his officers.

But not, of course, for him.

So This Is Love is a joyride of a sweet Regency, bringing whirlwind romance and happily-ever-after to staid and practical Charlotte

About Charlotte

She was engaged to mr Collins when he kissed her. Then she got second thoughts. She refuses him and leaves for her father’s sister great Jaff

Charlotte finds love

This story is all about Charlotte and what if after she has accepted Mr Collins proposal changes her mind. This sets her and her younger brother on a new course for their lives. Lots of page time together for Charlotte and her eventual love. Majority of the story takes place away from Meryton so there’s very little interaction with other main characters from P&P but you get to hear tidbits along the way. The narrator did an excellent job on these voices for these characters. It will be a book I will listen to again.

Fabulous Characters

Oh, there’s so much that’s good about this book! The storyline is very good. I won’t give away spoilers, but along with the excellent character portrayal of our dear Charlotte, is the appearance of Captain Blunt, a dashing love interest for her. Will he be the one? The dialogue just pulls you hard into the story and is maintained throughout. Good dialogue is THE thing that makes a good book exceptional for me. The Captain’s wry humour is delicious. I absolutely loved this memorable new character, now a forever favorite. A very well written book and I highly recommend it!

The narration by Ruth Redman is very good and most enjoyable! Well done!

Just loved this original version of this story!!!

Loved the characters and original storyline. It was easy to love the characters and care what happens to them. Highly recommend for P&P fans!!!

Really great story and narrator.

Great writing and real characters. Touching and heartfelt. It was great to see Charlotte have a different story and a chance at love

A Wonderful Romance for Charlotte

A well developed story with little angst or drama after Charlotte’s rescue, but with great dialogue and characters who seem real. I very much enjoyed this romance of Miss Charlotte Lucas, a character I always wished might have had a better husband. And here she finds her perfect match. The last 20 minutes include a scene between Charlotte and Jack with him criticizing her favorite gothic novel - it is a hoot. And the final, final scenes are very sweet. I very much appreciated Ruth Redman’s narration.
