Lord Fenton's Folly

De: Josi S. Kilpack

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

Lord Fenton is a gambler and a dandy, and he will be stripped of his wealth and position unless he rises to his responsibility - one of which is to marry. Far from being a giddy groom, Fenton chooses the unobjectionable Alice Stanbridge simply because he knew her as a young girl, and his mother feels Alice would make a good wife. Alice, however, has harbored feelings for Fenton since their first meeting years ago, and his proposal is a dream come true. Not only will a match with the most eligible bachelor in London secure her future, but it will also give her a place of distinction and admiration. Had anyone admired Alice for anything before now?

When Alice learns that she is not only an unwanted wife but a demanded one, however, she closes her heart. Only when Lord Fenton faces the greatest trial of his life does he begin to find love beyond the folly. Could a great love come from a beginning such as this?

Clean regency romance with a lot of tension

This book falls into one of my favorite escape the stress in life genres. I do think this novel lived up to the characteristics we expect to see in the genre, and used good character development. I think the reason I am not loving it, is because the Book was mostly tense for a good 70% of the book. It’s not to say there was anything wrong with the story or the characters or anything, it just wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I feel like the author put a lot of effort into demonstrating The problem between the two main characters, but then the part of the story where they “come around“ seem to move rather quickly. I wanted to spend more time there and less time in the quarrelsome part of their relationship.

Excellent story

Original story between husband and wife and family secrets . I enjoyed the story, my first by this author.

Great

This was a great story. It had some good life lessons in it. I recommend it.

a little drawn out

but good story. I did get frustrated with the narrator because she was so loud in many parts and so quick and quiet in others that I missed what was being said. it was very aggravating. but the story addressed and worked through difficult things with grace and insight which I appreciated.

Fantastic strong female characters

Fantastic strong female characters. I loved Alice from the very beginning. I like the pacing of this book, it makes the changes in the characters feel believable.
