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.

I loved this book! Mostly because it wasn't very predictable. I could guess how some of it would go, but mostly it surprised me w its plot twists.

The characters were well written. I especially liked that she didn't have these amazing skills or confidence.
The setting was very accurate( I updated my ship terminology a bit), the world building was beautiful, especially the island scene.

I would have said a bit more about both mothers, and given his more of a life at home, that she had friends and things to do besides constantly waiting for him.... But that's the only change I'd make.

The narrator was a bit irritating since she phrased everything like a statement, and kept the same rhythm. The voices and accents weren't bad though, and I certainly can't do better myself so won't complain too much.

Overall a fantastic book! I definitely recommend.(You get used to the narration)

Thank you Audible, Arlem Hawks and Heather Wilds for this wonderful transporting novel.

This was a really good story but the narration was awful. She did the characters ok, but the narration was like listening to Alexa . No emotion , just a monologue that gets on your nerves. Even when cannons blazed, wounds and blood, there was no emotion in the words at all. If you can over look this, it was a great book. If I were the author, I’d get another to do it. I think it would come alive in the right narrators heart.

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?

Great Story, shocking narration

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!
