Matthew Brenher uses a cultured British accent to perform the eleventh installment of the Cynster Next Generation series. Lord Gregory Cynster makes a surprise arrival at Bellamy Hall, which he inherited after the death of Mrs. Timms and his Great-Aunt Minnie. Once there, he learns it’s now in the capable hands of the chatelaine cum steward, Lady Caitlin Fergusson. Brenher adopts a warm tenor for Lord Gregory, which mingles tantalizingly with the soft Scottish burrs of Lady Caitlin and the variously accented artisans and farmers on the sprawling entrepreneurial estate. Brenher’s vocal acting is especially vibrant during the kidnapping scenes. Complicated descriptions of the estate contrast sharply with steamy seduction scenes, all lovingly described in Brenher’s melodic voice. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
A gentleman searching for a purpose in life sets out to claim his legacy, only to discover that instead of the country residence he'd expected, he's inherited an eccentric community whose enterprises are overseen by a decidedly determined young lady who is disinclined to hand over the reins.
Gregory Cynster arrives at the property willed to him by his great-aunt with the intention of converting Bellamy Hall into a quiet, comfortable, gentleman's country residence, only to discover the Hall overrun by an eclectic collection of residents engaged in a host of business endeavors under the stewardship of a lady far too young to be managing such reins.
With the other residents of the estate, Caitlin Fergusson has been planning just how to deal with the new owner, but coming face to face with Gregory Cynster throws her and everyone else off their stride. They'd anticipated a bored and disinterested gentleman who, once they'd revealed the income generated by the Hall's community, would be content to leave them undisturbed.
Instead, while Gregory appears the epitome of the London rake they'd expected him to be, they quickly learn he's determined to embrace Bellamy Hall and all its works and claim ownership of the estate.
While the other residents adjust their thinking, the burden of dealing daily with Gregory falls primarily on Caitlin's slender shoulders. Yet as he doggedly carves out a place for himself, Caitlin's position as chatelaine-cum-steward seems set to grow redundant. But Caitlin has her own reasons for clinging to the refuge her position at Bellamy Hall represents.
What follows is a dance of revelations, both of others and also of themselves, for Gregory, Caitlin, and the residents of Bellamy Hall. Yet even as they work out what their collective future might hold, a shadowy villain threatens to steal away everything they've created.
