About this listen
A Regency romance on the high seas. Two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.
As a young girl, Georgana Woodall dreamed of beautiful dresses, fancy balls, and falling in love. However, when her mother dies, she cannot face a future under the guardianship of her abusive grandmother and instead chooses to join her father on his ship disguised as his cabin boy, “George”.
Lieutenant Dominic Peyton has no time in his life for love, not with his dedication to His Majesty’s Royal Navy claiming his full attention. While trying to adjust to a new crew, he strives to be an exemplary officer and leader. When he sees the captain’s cabin boy being harassed by the crew, he immediately puts a stop to it and takes the “boy” under his wing. After discovering a number of clues, Dominic deduces that George is really a woman. Knowing that revealing the cabin boy’s secret would put her in serious danger from the rowdy crew, Dominic keeps silent and hides his growing affection for her.
Georgana is quickly losing her heart to Dominic’s compassion and care but is convinced nothing can come of her affection. She cannot continue to live her life on the sea, and having already missed too many seasons in London, her chances of being welcomed back into polite society and finding a suitable husband are quickly slipping away.
Georgana’s Secret is about two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.

Terrible narration, nice story
I liked the story, but what awful narration! Words are randomly stressed, meaning you can’t ever relax into the story. You end up with stilted sentences like: She had left her LANTern with the SURGeon and now couldn’t SEE in the DARK.
“It’s hard WORK”, the gunner SAID.

A romantic story
I enjoyed this but only by suspending my disbelief. The plot is a implausible. The narrator isn’t the best but doesn’t deserve some of the criticism levelled at her by some others. But her mispronunciation of the forecastle of a ship literally as “for castle” does shows a lack of general knowledge!

Great story once you can tune out the narration
Really enjoyed the story and character’s’ development. The narrator’s staccato style grated at first but once you get into the storyline and tune it out, it’s very worthwhile sticking with

Georgana’s secret
Most unfortunate reading style. I was unable to continue past the second chapter because of the very odd and uncomfortable reading style. The narrator doesn’t appear to be able to read prose more than four or five words at a time without pausing - as if each sentence is peppered with commas. Then ends each word spurt with an annoying lift as if suddenly remembering she had left the stove switched on. Such a shame as the story is novel and well written . I would very much have enjoyed the book otherwise. I was unable to award no stars for performance which was my preference..

Nicely Told Regency Romance
I’m supposing that the detractors of the narrator Heather Wilds, were expecting a swashbuckling narrator to match the swashbuckling story. However, it isn’t a swashbuckling story in its entirety. It is a fairly gentle love story between an initially reclusive ‘cabin boy’ and the newly joined 1st Lieutenant of her father’s -the Captain- ship, Dominic.
Initially he decides to be her mentor and their friendship grows from there. The narrator does not spoil the story, it is told, mainly, from a young girl’s perspective. She is not a hoyden and she’s as sheltered as her father can make her, in the circumstances. There is no need for a loud, commanding voice. And, despite what one reviewer states; it is NOT like having Alexa read to you.
If you want to, you will enjoy this tale. It’s unusual and absorbing. I will demur about 1 thing at the end - I can’t say what it is without giving away a potential spoiler - Georgana alludes to something which, whist I’m sure is supposed to be romantic, I feel is unnecessary and unwarranted. But hey, that’s just me!

Great Story, shocking narration
Such a good story, but the narrator was bloody awful. Out of tone all the time, made it nonsensical! Doesn’t someone proof listen this books?
