Finding Miss Giles (Hearts of the Hall Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 80 ratings

Bath, 1780: Without family or fortune, Miss Araminta Giles must rely on her wit alone.

Engaged by Mr Derringer to be companion to his sister for the Bath Season, Ary views this position as merely another in a line of employments necessary to her survival.

So when she finds herself warming to Charlotte, and shivering under the intense gaze of Mr Derringer, she is surprised to find herself hoping for more than just a roof over her head. But a series of intriguing encounters in polite Society cause Ary to realise her position with the Derringers may not be the fruit of her own labours after all. As she tries to make sense of the revelations, she is forced to consider what she really wants.

Will she keep going through life relying only on herself? Or is she willing to take a chance on a home, family and… love?

  1. Finding Miss Giles by Philippa Jane Keyworth set in 1780

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Philippa Jane Keyworth, also known as P. J. Keyworth, writes historical romance and fantasy novels you'll want to escape into.

She loves strong heroines, challenging heroes and backdrops that read like you’re watching a movie. She creates complex, believable characters you want to get to know and worlds that are as dramatic as they are beautiful.

Keyworth's historical romance novels include Regency and Georgian romances that trace the steps of indomitable heroes and heroines through historic British streets. From London's glittering ballrooms to its dark gaming hells, characters experience the hopes and joys of love while avoiding a coil or two! Travel with them through London, Bath, Cornwall and beyond and you'll find yourself falling in love.

Keyworth's fantasy series The Emrilion Trilogy follows strong love stories and epic adventure. Unveiling a world of nomadic warrior tribes and peaceful forest-dwelling folk, you can explore the hills, deserts and cities of Emrilion and the history that is woven through them. With so many different races in the same kingdom it's become a melting pot of drama and intrigue where the ultimate struggle between good and evil will bring it all to the brink of destruction.

    Quite a lovely well-written engaging story with Araminta and William with the mystery of Ary's birth and parents resolved. Charlotte was a wonderful part of their story and loved Ary's wise and tender approach to her speaking challenge. An overall excellent story certainly well worth reading!

    My first Keyworth novel and it was a delightful first! Ary and William are relatable with nothing fussy, but everything honorable. Fit the genre well with modern relatability.

    This story is a wonderful chance to escape the troubles of life today. I enjoyed it immensely.

    This was a fantastic Historical Christian fiction series starter. The story was believable and the characters were heartwarming. I was able to read a copy of this book via Overdrive, but it did not in any way affect my review. All opinions are my own.

    We know very little of Miss Giles throughout most of this story. We do see her upright character, but who is she?

    Just as she starts warming up to her place in Duriel Hall, her past is made known and it appears that her presence could harm Charlotte.

    I thought the story was really well done.

    It’s rare to find a book that has you so captured that you cannot put it down. I was so absorbed in this story that I had to read it from start to finish. Another brilliant tale from Philippa Keyworth - I can’t wait for her to write the next one.
