A Lady of Conscience

Somerset Stories, Book 5

De: Mimi Matthews

Narrado por: Alex Wyndham

A Victorian bluestocking with a passion for lost causes attracts the unwilling attention of a frost-hearted viscount during her tumultuous debut season in Bath in USA Today best-selling author Mimi Matthews’ fifth book in her acclaimed Somerset Stories series.

West Country beauty Hannah Heywood may be quiet with fashionable strangers, but when it comes to animals in need, she has no trouble finding her voice. Newly arrived in Bath for her very first season, all she desires is to find one like-minded gentleman. A man of warmth and compassion, as sensitive to animals as he is to people. But if such a man exists, he dare not approach her. Not with the tall, blond, and menacing Viscount St. Clare standing in the way.

James Beresford, Viscount St. Clare, has often been described as a sentient block of ice. A man so cold and dispassionate, he would never suit a young lady of Hannah’s disposition. And she would certainly never suit him. Focused on repairing his family’s infamous reputation, James requires a diamond of the first water. The daughter of a duke or a marquess, at least, not a simple country girl with a passion for four-legged creatures.

And yet, there’s something about conscience-driven young Hannah that draws James, first to Bath, and then into one increasingly hare-brained scheme after another. She confounds him at every turn, subverting his expectations and threatening to do what no lady has succeeded in doing before—thawing his ice-cold heart.

Oh I loved it! 😁

I just love Mimi Matthew’s books- such a gifted writer!! Her characters are so lifelike and real. I love the interplay between James and his brothers. Also, in each book, seeing the main characters perspectives of the different brothers was fascinating to me. In book 4, James seems almost heartless, but in this one, his character is fully fleshed out and you understand why he acts a certain way. Beautifully done! And of course, Alex Wyndham’s narrating…..awww, it’s perfection! The combo of a Mimi Matthew’s book with Alex W narrating…what more could you ask for ??☺️. Thank you!

I loved this book

Visiting & catching up with old friends. Author & narrator are my all time favorites. This book had perfect blend of romance & delightful characters.

Great characterization and dialogue

I love it when an author makes me chuckle and laugh out loud and this one did. I only let myself listen to books when I’m exercising or driving. This is one I could’ve listened to straight through and hated having to turn it off!

Lovely romance between two kind but apparently different people

Both Hannah and James are such kind and decent people. Hannah’s love for animals is a bonus.

Heart warming!

Very sweet and romantic story. Got to love a woman who loves her animals and the man who supports that love.

Heartwarming!!

I just love to ongoing family saga with beloved characters, as well as the Pride and Prejudice vibes. Reading A Lady of Conscience was like getting a warm hug. 💕

Very enjoyable

Mimi Matthews and Alex Wyndham... a great combination!

Adding more words to reach the minimum requirement!

I cannot wait for book 6

This series has been so riveting. The characters are well developed, the plot engaging, the romance tender with moments of spice but clean. The performance by Alex as the Audible reader is absolutely outstanding!!! His excellent reading/voice/inflection and accent add to the story.

A wonderful love story

Alex Wyndham is always the best narrator. Mimi is gifted to always be able to write such beautiful love stories. I

It is a sweet, clean, romantic, interesting, entertaining book. I like everything Mimi Matthews has written.
