About this listen

Before the world knew her as Catharine Cleveland—a leader of industry, a pillar of polite society, a steward of philanthropy, she was:

A scholar.

A rower.

A promising pianist.

A dutiful heir.

But above all, she was a girl who fell in love.

From the ancient halls of Oxford to the sun-drenched vineyards of Bordeaux, and across the Atlantic to the political circus of D.C., meet Cate Brooks in The Colonel’s Daughter—the prequel to the best-selling series, The Senator’s Wife.

I was delighted to see there was a prequel to the much enjoyed Senator’s wife series. It didn’t disappoint either. I would definitely agree with the author to read this as the 4th book in the series … it filled in gaps but knowing what was going to happen made the story more dramatic and heartbreaking.

Excellent addition to the series

I listened to the books that came after this one, being the daughter of a mom who was beaten and abused is hard to deal with this one. better late than never doesn't really help them or others
