The Imagined Attachment

The Bath Schoolmates, Book 1

De: Holli Jo Monroe

Narrado por: Grace Noble, Beau Thomas

She should be reconciling herself to spinsterhood, not falling for the baronet next door.

Miss Elaine Brooke has always spent more time daydreaming than actually living. With no fortune and no suitors, she is back from school and determined to face the reality of a quiet, lonely life. But an encounter with Daniel Ashburn, her childhood best friend and lifelong infatuation, sets her dreaming again. Soon she is imagining a very different life as Mrs. Ashburn.

Sir Phillip Ashburn has an estate to manage and a troublesome brother to marry off. He won't let a penniless neighbor ruin everything by turning Daniel's head. Intent on keeping Miss Brooke away from his brother, Phillip sets out to monopolize her time. Despite their disagreements, Phillip soon begins to wonder if she is more than a problem to be solved.

As Phillip starts to question all his assumptions, Elaine realizes he isn't quite what she imagined. Could she possibly have set her heart on the wrong Ashburn? Jane Austen meets Sabrina in this Regency Romance.

Just watch the Sabrina movie

The resetting of this beat for beat retelling doesn't add depth or interest to the characters. I believe it actually hinders it a bit, because it requires way more use of the miscommunication trope. It's a cute listen and by all means not bad or horrible. However in the end it just made me want to watch the original movie with Humphrey bogart and Audrey Hepburn.
