Summary

"Fans of the Parish Orphans of Devon series will adore this final installment, reuniting the orphans and their loves." (Library Journal, starred review)

A USA Today best seller

She needed to be seen...

As a lady's companion, Clara Hartwright never receives much attention from anyone. And that's precisely how she likes it. With a stormy past, and an unconventional plan for her future, it's far safer to remain invisible. But when her new employer is invited to a monthlong holiday at a remote coastal abbey, Clara discovers that she may not be as invisible as she'd hoped. At least, not as far as one gentleman is concerned.

He wanted to be heard...

Neville Cross has always been more comfortable with animals than people. An accident in his youth has left him with a brain injury that affects his speech. Forming the words to speak to his childhood friends is difficult enough. Finding the right things to say to a lovely young lady's companion seems downright impossible. But Miss Hartwright is no ordinary companion. In fact, there may not be anything ordinary about her at all.

During a bleak Devon winter, two sensitive souls forge an unexpected friendship. But when Clara needs him most, will Neville find the courage to face his fears? Or is saying goodbye to her the most heroic thing he can do?

Beautiful, gentle love story

What a lovely ending to the series. Beautifully narrated by Alex Wyndham. I only wish he had narrated the first in the series as they are stories I could listen to again and again but I found the narrator of the first book utterly dreadful and although I loved the story I couldn't listen to it again.

My goodness what a sweet ending to a series

Bar none the best in the series, and probably rivals my other favourite by MM’s The Work of Art. There was such an intense sweetness that MM conveyed throughout that I felt on the verge of tears almost the entire time. I especially liked that the story was no melodramatic or complicated. There was no great twist or some villain. It was just, simply, a love story. I loved that.

Neville and Clara are wonderful, and it was so satisfying to see all four orphans together and happy.

Can’t wait to see what Matthews and Wyndham do together next.

Best one of the series

I really enjoyed this one, and much more than the earlier books in the series. The Work of Art and Gentleman Jim by this author are great listens too, if you’re looking for inspiration.

Sweet Sweet story

Love this book, I have listened to this a couple of times.It is such a sweet story of two souls that come together.
Alex Wyndhams narration is perfect and I can listen to his voice for a long time.

He goes from one character to another with ease, all very real.

I have given 5 stars everywhere and would gladly encourage anyone who loves romance to give this story a go and if you like this try the other three stories about the orphans of Devon.

A wonderful ending

This has been a really entertaining series of books. Each with a very different plot about 4 very different couples. This one has been my favourite with the gentle Will struggling with his demons and overcoming them for the sake of his love for Karla and both ending up with their dreams fulfilled.
The narration was excellent from Alex Wyndham.
