About this listen

Before the world knew her as Catharine Cleveland—a leader of industry, a pillar of polite society, a steward of philanthropy, she was:

A scholar.

A rower.

A promising pianist.

A dutiful heir.

But above all, she was a girl who fell in love.

From the ancient halls of Oxford to the sun-drenched vineyards of Bordeaux, and across the Atlantic to the political circus of D.C., meet Cate Brooks in The Colonel’s Daughter—the prequel to the best-selling series, The Senator’s Wife.

Loved the early history of Catherine and Natalie, wish I had listened to this before the continuing story. Have listened to the other books three times already and now will listen once again. Abby Cradens voice of all the characters enhances the enjoyment of the stories. Wish there were more stories from Jen Lyon, totally engrossing story, thank you Jen and Abby

Not just a love story, back story kept me interested at all times

I love Catherine and Alex. But Cate and Nathalie…… wow. I am torn, I am confused, I am emotional. Jen Lyon you are amazing. I want more.
Abby is also very impressive. No one else could have performed this series.

Sublime
