About this listen

When Ellie Fitzgerald looks at herself in a mirror in Hargrove House, the estate her grandmother has left her, she’s looking at a version of herself from England’s regency period. That version of herself invades her dreams, too, laughing confidently with friends instead of retiring shyly into libraries, and cavorting with a gorgeous but common young man named Matthew. The dream is so real, Ellie can still feel Matthew’s hands on her when she wakes.

She can’t shake the dream, especially when she finds a Matthew who looks exactly like the man in her dreams working at the local museum. She feels an instant connection, one he apparently shares. Together, they discover a history of Ellies and Matthews loving each other all through their family’s histories.

They also find a more sinister figure recurring through the ages: Lord Dabney, a good-enough-looking man (though, he’s no Matthew), who hounds the two lovers into early graves, time and time again.

When Lord James Dabney shows up at Hargrove House, determined to date Ellie, it feels like history could be repeating itself. Ellie refuses to let herself become the victim of an old curse, though. This time, she and Matthew mean to write the ending to their own story...if they can.

I really enjoyed the story. Ellie inherits a house from her grandma but she has to travel from America to England to claim it. But she's not there long before Lord Dabney comes calling and there's something about him she's not sure about. As I said the story was nice, a few hot moments but I have to say as an English person that the English accents were awful. The narrator would have been better not to try them. They just didn't sound right and I found myself getting annoyed at the mispoken words where she tried to do posh English. But the story was good. I received a free copy of this book from the author but the review is my own.

A nice little story.
