Publisher's summary

When they first met Lord Jeremy William Radcliffe, Charlie and her twin sister, Elizabeth, were escaping from their uncle - taking turns acting the young gentleman to avoid detection. But Charlie couldn't help falling head over heels-and out of a window - for the handsome lord. Of course, that was only the beginning; Lord Radcliffe insisted on showing "him" and her lovely sister to London.

But how could he do that? With every touch, Radcliffe seemed unknowingly to incite indecent desires in Charlie, and his fraternal intent was certain to land her in a fine mess. Though it was a great game to play a boy, there was more fun in being female. And after one brush of his fiery lips when her guise was gone, Charlie swore to be nothing but his fiery woman forevermore.

Great surprise

I wasn't expecting to like this book so much but I did.
The narrator did a wonderful job.

Loved!!!

This book was so entertaining!!! I had me literally laughing out loud!!! Loved the characters!!! Definitely would recommend it and I might have to listen a second time!!!

Well worth the time

This book was funny and super enjoyable. I will listen again and again. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed!

Loved it!

Truly laugh out loud funny. I got so swept up in Charlie and her antics. The narrator was a great complement to the story. I really enjoyed listening to this at work and can't wait to hear more stories by the author.

Very entertaining...

This was one of those audiobooks that I couldn't stop listening to. I found it very entertaining and there were some plot twists that I wasn't expecting. It was actually funny how Jeremy was questioning his sexuality because he was attracted to Charlie and the things that happened because of that. There was a good build up to the romance and although there was only one love scene I did feel the romantic connection between Jeremy and Charlie. This is a fun story that I recommend. The narrator also did a fine job with the accents and adding intensity to the story as well.

Definitely a keeper.

Funny and overall a good story about twin sisters who escape from forced engagements. One of them dressing up as a boy creates ridiculous and yet fun encounters.

Happy that I gave this new(for me) author a chance!

Enjoyable But Not Memorable

Normally I love Lynsay Sand's books. Although I enjoyed "The Switch" it was not in the same league
as much of her other work.

Fun

Good story. I enjoyed a lot. Recommend it to all who like regency romance to read

Loved it!

The Switch was a good story and the narrator was excellent! I will definitely be looking for another book by Lynsay Sands.
