De: Sarah E. Ladd

In Regency England, one letter will alter a young woman's fate when it summons her to Briarton Park--an ancient estate that holds the secrets of her past and the keys to her future. Sarah E. Ladd returns with another low-spice Regency romance, perfect for fans of Julie Klassen.

Cassandra Hale grew up knowing little about her parentage, and she had made peace with the fact that she never would. But her world shifts when a shocking deathbed confession reveals a two-year-old letter from Mr. Clark, the master of Briarton Park, with hints to her family's identity. Stung by betrayal, Cassandra travels to the village of Anston only to learn Mr. Clark has since passed away.

James Warrington is a widower and the new master of Briarton Park, where he lives with his two young daughters, his sister, and his mother-in-law. When Cassandra appears at his doorstep with a letter from the previous owner and then proceeds to assist his family in an unexpected way, he is honor bound to help uncover the answers she seeks.

The more time Cassandra spends in Anston, the more she begins to suspect not everything--or everyone--is as they seem. As details emerge, the danger surrounding her intensifies. Using wit and intuition, she must navigate the treacherous landscapes between truth and rumor and between loyalty and deception if she is to uncover the realities of her past and find the place her heart can finally call home.

Step into the enchanting world of Regency England with The Letter from Briarton Park by Sarah E. Ladd. This captivating tale weaves together mystery, romance, and the search for identity, keeping you listening well past bedtime. If you love well-written, engaging historical romances with heart and depth, this book is a must-listen.

Comforting, romantic, surprising

I’ve been in a listening rut with books on audible and found this book and enjoyed every minute of it. I listened to it consecutively for three days and it brought me back into loving listening to books. The story is predictable, but I find that comforting. I enjoyed the characters and the audio book narration.

Best read in along time

Narrator was good I n enjoyed the book a lot. Would recommend to all enjoys a little mystery with their romance.

it was uplifting and wholesome

I love a good story without a bunch of ups and downs.
This little love story was just what I was looking for.
Especially since I spend a lot of time in my car.
Very sweet.

Haphazard and airheaded

Quite a few of the words were mispronounced. I found it jarring. The plotline was inventive enough, which kept my interest barely to the end. The execution of the story was so obvious at times I wanted to turn the whole thing off.

Great Story, Perfectly Suited for Fall Evenings

Firstly, the narration is superb. Ms. Mason (the narrator) did an excellent job. And if you're an audio book fan you know poor narration can really sink a story. Thankfully this is not the case in Letter to Briarton Park.
Secondly, kudos to the author for making a realistic heroine, warts and all. Cassandra has a past, a past I believe at times makes her apprehensive and suspicious of others. Even when such individuals show no evidence of harm towards her. And that's what makes her a realistic heroine because we've all been stung by someone in our past, making it challenging for future personal relationships.
And lastly our hero Mr. Warrington is everything most women want in a man. Let's just say whenever I come across the aroma of sandalwood, wood smoke, and horses I'll think of him. Please enjoy this book.

Good storytelling

Perhaps predictable, still enjoyable. An easy read when happy endings are needed. Would recommend to readers looking for a clean read, delightful story… as I was.
