The Lost Heiress

Ladies of the Manor, Book 1

By: Roseanna M. White

Narrated by: Liz Pearce

Brook Eden has never known where she truly belongs. Though raised in the palace of Monaco, she's British by birth and was brought to the Grimaldis under suspicious circumstances as a babe. When Brook's friend, Justin, uncovers the fact that Brook is likely a missing heiress from Yorkshire, Brook leaves the sun of the Mediterranean to travel to the moors of the North Sea, to the estate of her supposed family. The mystery of her mother's death haunts her, and though her father is quick to accept her, the rest of the family and the servants of Whitby Park are not. Only when Brook's life is threatened do they draw close - but their loyalty may come too late to save Brook from the same threat that led to tragedy for her mother.

As heir to a dukedom, Justin is no stranger to balancing responsibilities. When the matters of his estate force him far from Brook, the distance between them reveals that what began as friendship has grown into something much more. But how can their very different loyalties and responsibilities ever come together? And then, for a second time, the heiress of Whitby Park is stolen away because of the very rare treasure in her possession - and this time only the servants of Whitby can save her.

Great story

I loved this book when I read it! I'm not crazy about the narrator in the audible version though.

Great Story

loved this book. the writing was very good and kept my attention. I would definitely recomend this book to be read.

Exceptional read!!

I loved this story from beginning to end. It was exhilarating, thrilling and was truly “edge of your seat nail-biting” excitement. It had everything a reader could want; mystery, love, loss, excitement and thrill.
I listened to this book so quickly because I couldn’t stop myself from wanting more. Very well written and narrated. I enjoyed it immensely. Looking forward to the next book 📚 in the series. 🤓😄

Looking Forward to Book 2

Would you listen to The Lost Heiress again? Why?

Yes. It was a pleasant story with Christian ideals. This was so refreshing. I would not consider myself to be a bible-thumper, but it was so heartwarming to hear, so naturally, ideals that I grew up with artfully woven into an enjoyable story.

Which character – as performed by Liz Pearce – was your favorite?

The Heiress, of course. I enjoy stories about strong, but real, women, despite the fact that this is a fictional book. Its a good story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a little - but not an extreme reaction. That is kind of why I liked it so much. It was a good read...listen.

Any additional comments?

Ms. White is a very good writer. I hope she adds some of her other books to Audibles. I look forward to listening to them all.

Excellent story

Written well. Kept me interested and well entertained. I am recommending this book to my daughter. I appreciate that there were no sex scenes or profanity.

Ok but in great need of editing

My final impression of the book was that it was way too long. Halfway in, I became bored. It's another one of those manufactured "we can't be together but I can't say why" reasons that never make sense For 2 people who had been bffs all their lives you would think one of them would venture to communicate.

I did hang in till the end because I enjoyed the mystery plot. There are several good momemts, but the entire book is too wordy and could have been told in 3/4 the time.

I didn't feel the Christian aspects got out of hand as some other reviews have suggested. Mostly, the entire reference to religion is through the consistent use of prayer by all the characters, and that's about it.

The narrator tried hard to create a bunch of accents to distinguish between characters, but they all fell a bit short.

Glad I stuck it out…it got good

It took me until chapter 6 to start getting into it but then I was hooked. Glad I stuck it out as I did enjoy it.

Intriguing

This is the first book I ever heard from this author and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Characters are wonderful, was exciting. a lot of twist and turns throughout the story, which made it very intriguing. I hope there’s another book to this series. I can’t wait to find out.

God & Prayers

I thought I’d already read one of White’s books but if I had, I certainly didn’t recall the amount of prayer I encountered in The Lost Heiress (the 1st in its series). It came as a surprise and disappointment to encounter it as I read. (Note to Readers/Spoiler Alert: the protagonists even required the entire castle’s staff to get down on their knees while the search for Her Grace went on…) As interesting as the plot and performance were, I didn’t sign on for that; I can take just so much religion before drawing the line. I’ll now go through my library to either Return the other White books or Mark them Finished.
