| The Lost Heiress by Roseanna M. White |
The Lost Heiress (Ladies of the Manor, Book #1)
Bethany House Publishers (September 8, 2015)
Recorded Books (2015)
Five Stars *****
Most Romantic Christian Historical Romance in a Long Time!!!
I purchased this book through Audible.com. The voice actress/narrator left something to be desired with her French accent. The heroine, Brook, has been raised in Monaco and has spoken French all her life. I almost stopped listening to the audiobook because of the awful accent the narrator gave her BUT since I was SO looking forward to reading this special book by Roseanna, I gave her a one chapter chance and I am SO GLAD I did!!! Because this book was wonderful!!!
This book is a lifetime effort by Roseanna. She began writing it as a young girl and has revised and rewritten it numerous times. It's hard to bypass a book like that and when you get a chance to read a book that is from the author's heart, well...you're in for the chance of a lifetime. If this book doesn't receive numerous awards I will be surprised and disappointed! It deserves to be a Christian historical romance classic! The characters and the storyline remind me of a beautiful Christ-infused book that is a compilation of some of my favorite books that I read growing up!
Well done, Ro!!! Highly recommend!

Great review! Wow! Best Historical Christian novel for some time! I have this book and I see it so clearly on my TBR pile, will see about letting it skip a few books and read it ASAP! Thanks Carrie for a lovely interview. Have a great weekend. (No need to enter my name in the hat.)
ReplyDeleteYou need to get reading this, Annie!!! I've been looking at it for a while, too, and finally got to listen and I'm glad I did!!! Blessings!
DeleteThanks, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Ro! Thanks for sharing a giveaway!
DeleteOne of my favorite's for 2015, just loved this book CARRIE!! I loved your review and enthusiasm for The Lost Heiress too! That's exactly how I felt when I read it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad, Noela! Great minds think alike!!! Roseanne's Lost Heiress audiobook is one I will likely listen to again in the near future! Blessings!
DeleteAw, thanks you guys!! <3
DeleteRing of Secrets is one of my favorites. I had The Lost Heiress on my Christmas list, but it was sadly neglected. Thanks for the chance to win! rdalquis(at)css(dot)edu
ReplyDeleteOh you have to pick up The Lost Heiress ASAP Rachael and read Roseanna's wonderful novel! Blessings!
DeleteWhat an enthusiastic recommendation, CARRIE!!! A narrator with a terrible French accent. Really? I think I'll stick with listening to the awful computer voice on Kindle. LOL! Boy, can they butcher some words on Kindle or what? Wonderful review, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteThis was excellent. I am effusive because I've seen nothing like it lately. Roseanne really packs a punch with this one!
DeleteAnd we'll see how a narrator handles the Scottish burr in book 2... ;-)
DeleteWOW!! Beautiful review, Carrie - thank you!! That's quite the recommendation for "The Lost Heiress": "most romantic Christian historical romance in a long time, deserves to be a Christian historical romance classic, a lifetime effort by Roseanna, a book from the author's heart". With such compelling, enticing comments - "The Lost Heiress" is a "must-read" for me!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you find a book that is straight from the author's heart, you need to read and relish those! Like Laura Frantz's The Frontiersman was to her, I think The Lost Heiress is to Roseanna M. White!
DeleteA great review. As far as a favorite, anything she writes is good. I would love to read this one.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Judy. =)
DeleteI haven't had the pleasure of reading any of her titles yet but I've been drooling over them for quite some time now. So many books, so little time ;) Roseanna, you are on my wishlist! Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm a homeschool mom, and by the time I finish reading to the kids and working, my reading-for-pleasure time is pretty low, so I know just how you feel! Thanks for stopping by, Beth!
DeleteCarrie, thank you for your wonderful review. This one sounds like a must read. Thank you for the opportunity.
