The Promise of Miss Spencer by Sarah L. McConkie
4.0
Love the history in historical romance? Just finished the audiobook version of this book. As someone who equally enjoys the history part of historical romance, I love it when an author can balance fascinating history with a good love story. In this case, it’s the history of the small pox vaccine. I had heard of the milkmaid who had cowpox that lead to the discovery of a small pox vaccine. I never gave a thought to who would prove the validity of the vaccine and how scary it would be to be the first one to try it and then be exposed to the disease multiple times to see if it works.
Some books I believe are better listened to because if the narrators are good, they can really bring out the emotion of the characters. That’s what I enjoyed about this book. I kept thinking “just 10 minutes more.”
The story is told from three different perspectives (Miss Suzanna Spencer, Mr. Lacy, and Lord Haversley). I loved both the male and female narrators.
I only wish that the main characters had more interactions with each other. There is a reason why Suzanna holds back, but I wish there could have been more moments like when she is secretly baking bread and Lord Haversley catches her in the kitchen. There are enough twists and turns to really keep you wondering who Suzanna will end up with, if anyone at all...
If you’re looking for a historical romance audiobook to listen to, this is a good one to pick up.
I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from Cedar Fort for my honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not required to give a positive review.
Audiobook version: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
