Gossip, scandal and an unforgettable Regency romance

Brought to you by Penguin.

Kitty Charing's life-changing inheritance comes with a catch.

Her eccentric and childless guardian, Mr. Penicuik, is leaving Kitty all of his vast fortune - but with one condition. She must marry one of his five grand-nephews. However, Kitty's clear favourite - the rakish Jack Westruther - doesn't appear at all interested in the arrangement. To make Jack jealous, Kitty impulsively convinces his cousin, the kind-hearted and chivalrous Freddy Standen, to enter into a pretend engagement.

But the more time she spends with Freddy, the more Kitty wonders whether Jack is the right choice after all....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's'." (Joanne Harris)

"Fabulously witty." (Stephen Fry)

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)'

Hilarious story made even better by talented narrator

The narrator’s performance made this story so much better. His interpretation of Dolf, Jack, and Freddie was so good, especially Dolf. Each time there were parts with Dolf I was laughing out loud. The final scene with Jack’s reactions at Hugh’s place to the people in the room was hilarious. I loved this story from start to finish. For me, Heyer’s books are much more fun as audiobooks as long as the narrator is talented. Raj is very talented.

Great narrator, funny and sweet

Funny and well-drawn characters. We know where the story is going and thoroughly enjoy the journey.

One of my favorite GH novels

I am an avid and particular Audible listener. The narration was ok but I’ve heard better. But the story which I’ve loved for years made it tolerable.

Cute Hero/Heroine. Great performance!

Freddy makes a refreshing and unexpected hero. I thought Ghatak did a great job of all the different accents/genders.

A wonderful Heyer

This is such a very fun story. Loved the characters and dialogue in this one!

Fantastic narration of one of my favorites

The narrator did a splendid job. There were a few odd choices in the pronunciations and accents (e.g. even though one of the characters had an Irish title its very unlikely he would have had a traditional Irish accent), but overall, it really caught the playful and humorous style of the novel. Fantastic and will definitely listen again.

My Favorite Georgette Heyer Book

A fun, lighthearted story. The narration isn’t bad, I think the narrator took great pains to be authentic when it came to Freddy being a pink of the ton, but not always easy on the ears. This story is my all time favorite of Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances, and then The Masqueraders and The Grand Sophy. Kitty is a good heroine, but Freddy is my favorite character.

All about Freddy

Freddy, our erstwhile and VERY unlikely Male Lead, stole the show. Both he and Kitty play well off each other and kept the pace of the story good to go!

Great book and Narrator.

Love this book. The Narrator is Superb! I love Freddy, he grows as the book progressess. One of my fav books.

Such a good story!

The reading patchy in parts likewise the sound but a great listen. Very enjoyable.
