Horry Winwood doesn't play by the rules. So when her family are near ruin and her sister is about to enter a loveless marriage to a wealthy man to settle the family debts, young and headstrong Horry proposes to marry him instead. As her new husband's attentions fall elsewhere, Horry feels increasingly unhappy. Then she meets the attractive and dangerous Lord Lethbridge, and her days suddenly become more exciting. But there is bad blood between Horry's husband and Lord Lethbridge, and as complications and deceptions mount, the social tangle grows ever trickier to unpick.

The Honourable Christopher Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Christopher - Kit - is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby; the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple; the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy.

Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

Life is not easy for the poor relations of England’s upper crust, but fate and clever schemes bring them together. Lady Fortescue and Colonel Sandhurst hatch a plan: What if they were to transform her decrepit Bond Street home into a posh hotel, offering their guests the pleasure of being waited upon by nobility? With the help of other down-and-out aristocrats, they do just that, and London’s newest hotel, The Poor Relation, is born. The establishment is an immediate hit with London’s most illustrious citizens, save the Duke of Rowcester....

Forced into the marriage by her father, a leap in the dark from the bedroom window seems more appealing than spending even one night with the loathsome lord.

When the dashing Jack Carstares is unfairly accused of cheating at cards, he leaves the country in disgrace. Returning some years later disguised as a highwayman, his reappearance heralds a dramatic chain of events that includes a Duke, a damsel, a duel, and not one, but two kidnappings. Written when she was just 17, The Black Moth was Heyer’s first novel, but it bears many of the hallmarks of her later romances, being vivid, witty, and peppered with historical insight.

The nice guy gets the girl
A male voice was needed for this story which is told from the mild mannered hero’s point of view. The duke treats an assortment of “inferior “ persons with dignity, going out of his way to help them and in the process helping himself. I like it when nice people win.

lead on you unmitigated scoundrel
A joy. The narration is up to the caliber of the story. I laughed out loud and ended with true affection for many of the key characters. Even the unmitigated scoundrels, and especially their boon companions.

Excellent romp about Regency England
One of Heyer’s best. Well-paced with a diverting cast of characters. The reader is good and compliments the story rather than drag it down.

Great narration Good story
This Heyer novel shows us a completely new type of hero—a mild-mannered young man who surmounts his obstacles with kindness and patience. Great narration with distinct voices for each character.

Pitch Perfect
So thrilling to finally have so many Georgette Heyers available on audio in the US! This is one of her most charming romantic comedies and the narration is excellent. Highly recommended.

Another Fabulous Heyer Story
As much as I love Heyer stores, the narrator elevated this one to an unexpected level. Absolutely darling, funny, and clever… I had so much fun listening.

Labor of Love
I love this Georgette Heyer novel, but it was a laborious endeavor to get through this audio book; the narrator was too bad. While the tone of his voice is pleasant, it is rather monotonous and jerky. Even playing it at up-speed did not help.
A previous edition of this book with Phyllida Nash as narrator is no longer available, which is unfortunate for it is excellent.
