Sweet Regency Romance

This was my first Daisy Landish's book, and won't be my last. This book is part of The Lady Series, and this short novella is the first story in The Norrington Collection. Charlotte and Anthony's story is sweet and heartwarming, filled with misunderstandings and miscommunication. Zane Boyer did a great job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. #StoryOrigin

Great story!

The story was easy to listen to, and made for a relaxing time. Misunderstandings,immaturity, and fear can often get in the way of establishing a good relationship. But often times they can be worked out and people can have their happy ending. The audio version was fun and easy to follow along. I could picture everything happening! I took away one star on the narrator because when the actor did the female voices, it didn’t seem real, it was a bit over exaggerated and didn’t give the heroin the dignity I felt she deserved. But other than that, it was well done and very enjoyable. I recommend it!

"Discovering The Lady" is a Strong Start to The Norrington Collection by Daisy Landish!

"Discovering The Lady" is a delightful Regency romance that skillfully balances societal pressure with heartfelt emotion. Daisy Landish crafts a compelling narrative through Lady Charlotte Norrington, whose journey of self-discovery amidst the challenges of high society makes for an engaging and relatable tale. The chemistry between Charlotte and Anthony, the Duke of Banbury, is subtly developed, adding layers of tension and intrigue to their evolving relationship.

The plot, while rooted in the familiar themes of duty versus desire, manages to feel fresh thanks to Landish's deft handling of character growth. Charlotte’s internal conflict and the societal expectations placed upon her are portrayed with sensitivity and depth, making her struggle between convenience and love resonate throughout the story.

While the story itself is captivating, the narration by Zane Boyer was a bit of a letdown, particularly when it came to the female characters. Boyer’s portrayal of Lady Charlotte felt off, lacking the nuance and grace that her character demanded. His female voices, in general, took away some of the immersion, which was a shame given the strength of the plot. That said, his performance in other aspects of the narration was commendable, especially in capturing the charm and wit of the Duke of Banbury.

Overall, "Discovering The Lady" is a charming read and a strong start to The Norrington Collection. If you're a fan of clean Regency romances with well-rounded characters and emotional depth, this one is worth picking up—perhaps with a different narrator in mind.
