Summary

For 150 years, the magnificent Scarlett Hall has stood proud. However, the secrets it holds threaten to destroy it and the family living within.

At the age of 21, widow Isabel Barnet has returned to seek refuge in her family’s ancestral home of Scarlett Hall. Having experienced heartbreak and vowing to never love again, Isabel has now resigned herself to minding her younger sisters and forever remaining alone. That is, until one day when her mother makes a request.

Laurence Redbrook, Duke of Ludlow, feels half a man compared to others. The limp he received after a tragic accident is proof of that. Understanding that the ton whispers behind his back - and no woman would ever view him with interest - he remains alone at his estate. That is, until an important letter arrives requesting his aid.

As Isabel and Laurence are joined into a marriage of convenience, Isabel begins to search for a way to escape from both a man she does not love and the secrets in her heart that threaten to destroy her. And Laurence must decide if the love he feels for Isabel is enough for her to see him as the man he wishes to be rather than the burden she is forced to carry.

Whispers of Light is the exciting first book in the new Secret of Scarlett Hall series. Each novel is filled with mystery and secrets that will keep you guessing as you listen to find out if this hero and heroine receive their happily ever after.

A lovely book

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It took a while for the romance to build but when it did it was sweet. I enjoyed watching the pair develop their friendship and then progress to love. It was a slow burn but very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the test of the series.

An ok story

This was a nice enough clean romance. I am very sceptical of historical romances as I like them to be accurate and there are often way too many authors with limited knowledge this time period. This author did a good enough job, and the story was pleasant. As someone whose English accent is sometimes called very correct/posh, I found the narrators accent too posh and annoying at times.

All in all it was a nice story to listen to but it didn’t have me gripped.

Dreary

I wish authors would do research into Regency manners and the master/servant relationship before attempting the period. The writing was crude in places - 'the woman' used instead of 'her mother' or 'Lady Lambert' and young sisters being referred to as 'the woman' instead of by their names or'her sister'. Even 'she' or 'her' would have been preferable.
The narrator was awful. Quite depressing!
