Publisher's summary

Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she’ll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.

From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will Marianne be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.

LOVE!

I’m typically not into romance books but I’ve listened to this book 4 times in the last year. I love the humor, suspense and clean romance.

A love story of the purest kind!

If you love the setting and style of Jane Austin, you will likely love this romantic tale! Great character development! It wasmt long until Marinanne and Phillip were dear friends of mine! I was sad to have it end!

So good!!!

I have given the book as a gift to a few people and have listened to the audiobook 3 times now! One of my favorites! The characters are so full and well rounded. Funny, witty and brilliantly written.

highly recommended

This is a beautiful love story. I stayed up late twice to finish it the first time I read it (I've now read it many times and I've stayed up late each time lol). The heroine is very relatable for me. She's strong, but insecure at the same time. Smart, but sheltered. She didn't really know how to take a compliment and assumes she's being teased when someone flirts with her. The banter between the two main characters is great. It reminded me very much of my husband's and my "courtship" we got together despite me lol. I also love that both main characters have morals, something that seems to be lacking or even "out of style" nowadays. When someone asks me what my favorite book is, it's The Wall of Winnipeg and Me (they say the f-bomb in that a lot, so if that bothers you, then you may want to skip it), Pride and Prejudice, and this one. When life has me down, or I just want a good book to read. I come "home" to these books, and this is always the first of the three I reach for. I'm in my thirties, but I first read it when I was in my twenties. I've shared it with my parents and friends who loved it just as much as I did. I read it at least once every year. I first read it on my kindle, then purchased the audio book, then the CD, then the paper book. I highly recommend this book!

My favorite Proper Romance book!

Fantastic story! I loved it. I could scarcely put it down, and I looked for books by this author immediately after completing this one. It got a little too dramatic and unrealistic at the end for me when she was SPOILER ALERT kidnapped and how the rest played out just right, but I’m sure I will be reading this one again!

Intriguing , clean romance

This is a fast paced love story that keeps you engaged. The beginning is probably my most least favorite, but it definitely picks up speed quickly and has you guessing the outcome.
