Acerca de esta escucha
Fanny and her groom had been tricked! Parents on both sides, all impoverished, had decided to recoup their families' losses by marrying their children to the progeny of a wealthier neighbor. The joke was on them, however, when it was outed that neither family had a penny to its name.
Charles was not the dark rogue of Fanny's girlish fantasies, but he was chivalrously determined that she should meet someone more appropriate for her than he. And for her part, Fanny was determined that Charles find a woman of greater means who would, perhaps, be the answer to his prayers. Yet as each lover set out to find someone for the other, each was left with the nagging notion that true love might have nothing to do with riches.

It was true. The lovely young widow Lady Charteris - Delphine to her friends - had agreed to abide by her parents' wishes and marry the Comte Saint-Pierre. Delphine's parents had long since died in the Terror, but when she learned of their wishes for her, she believed it her duty to respect their wishes. Delphine would marry, but it would be a marriage in name only. But when Delphine saw Jules Saint-Pierre, she got the shock of her life: he was the same man she had seen juggling in the streets at a local fair.

Lovely Alice Lacey was a true incomparable, and her marriage to the Duke of Ferrant was the event of the season. Almost no one realized, however, that Alice was secretly in love with someone else - or that she had confided her feelings to a clever talking mynah bird who announces these intimacies at the moment of the couple's wedding. Now the gossip mongers are relentless. Alice's marriage started out, and has remained, cold and impersonal, and her new husband is already rumored to be taken with another woman.

When her father gambles away their fortune - including Mannerling, the exquisite family mansion - Isabella discovers there is very little sympathy for her plight. As the eldest, Isabella is chosen to court Mr. Judd, the roguish bachelor who won Mannerling. Surely no sacrifice is too great to regain Mannerling? But tempting her away from Mr. Judd is Lord Fitzpatrick, an Irish rake who fears Isabella can never love a man as she does her home.

Okay
All the shenanigans made this predictable for me from the start, so I ended up skipping some chapters. But Lindy gave a superb performance as usual, which made it worth listening to the end chapters. There are a couple of cute twists at the end.

One of sweeter of M. C. Beaton’s stories
I enjoyed this story quite a bit. It was different than the usual plots. The main characters developed relationship in quite a different way, their casual and naturally growing affection for each other pretending to be “cousins” and thinking of each other as siblings (though in a forced marriage) made for some adorable moments of casual interchange and caring. The HEA I didn’t see coming as it did which was also a nice change. I need appealing voices narrated for the main characters at least, particularly for the male lead if read by a woman, and Lindy Nettleton did that well, also performing nicely varied voices for the other characters too. Recommend if tired of too many half miserable characters who finally come around, or main characters who are forced to half hate each other for whatever reason the plot calls for before coming to senses, etc.
