Acerca de esta escucha
The infamous rake, Lord Richard Hamilton, has finally chosen his bride - the very appropriate Miss Emma Grey.
The ton approves, Lord Grey is pleased, Lady Grey delighted, and Emma is over the moon, but her uncle, (the blasted) Duke of Arden opposes the match, and Emma is ordered to move to the duke’s estate to think things over.
Richard Hamilton refuses to take things lying down and concocts a plan. A plan that should have brought the lovers together and had them married within a month. It was a simple matter of masquerading as the duke’s gardener, compromising the lady, and then having the duke rush them off to Gretna Green.
Alas, he underestimates the duke’s intelligence and the tangled situation on the estate - never had he imagined that compromising a lady could be so difficult.
His endeavours lead to a comedy of errors, charades, and knotty love affairs. Yet he forges ahead in spite of pesky house guests, a flea bitten mattress, his lovesick best friend, and a blackmailer.
Just when things seem to be going well, someone is murdered (very inconvenient), and he happens to be one of the suspects (extremely inconvenient).
His simple plan for winning the wager suddenly becomes...a tad complicated.

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

Emmeline and William Pershing have enjoyed a perfectly convenient marriage for eight years. Their relationship is a seamless blend of their talents and goals. They’ve settled into separate, well-ordered lives beneath the same roof, and are content to stay that way―or so Emmeline thinks. And if William has secretly longed for a bit more from the woman he adores, he’s managed to be content with her supreme skills as a hostess and planner, which has helped him advance his career.

London 1815. Newly widowed Lily Adler is returning to a society that frowns on independent women. At a ball thrown by her oldest friend, Lady Walter, she expects the scandal, gossip, and secrets. What she doesn't expect is the dead body in Lady Walter's garden. Lily overheard the man just minutes before he was shot: young, desperate, and attempting blackmail. But she's willing to leave the matter to the local constables - until Lord Walter bribes the investigating magistrate to drop the case. Stunned, Lily realizes she's the only one with the key to catching the killer.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

As the London Daily Gazette’s popular gossip columnist, she is extremely adept at sneaking into houses, assuming disguises and overseeing a vast network of spies to ensure she stays abreast of the beau monde’s comings and goings. If it sometimes seems as though she was hiding behind the settee during a particularly fierce quarrel between a husband and his wife, it’s most likely because she was hiding behind the settee during their fierce quarrel.

A Comedy of Errors
Lord Richard Hamilton falls head over heels for Miss Emma Grey, and is pleased when she agrees. Wedded bliss is brought to a halt when Emma's uncle, the Duke of Arden, advises the couple to wait a year. Lord Hamilton is annoyed when his betrothed is inclined to agree, and sets out with a ridiculous, complicated plan to wed his lady sooner rather than later. Little does he know, this will lead to a complicated tangle....and murder.
This is the kind of story I would recommend for when you don’t want anything too serious. It definitely falls into more of the romantic comedy category -emphasis on the comedy aspect-and the murder is more of a last minute addition.
I first read this several years ago, and was entertained by the premise. Coming back to it again, this time listening to the audiobook, I hoped that I would still enjoy it. And I did.
The narrator brought the characters to life with subtle changes in pitch and pace. It was a delight to listen to.
Readers who enjoy a comedy of errors may be able to enjoy this than readers looking for a straight romance.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and all opinions expressed are my own.

Surprise Ending
This book is a delight. Great story that kept me laughing out loud. Wonderful narrator. I listen to many books and she is one of the best narrators I have heard. This book moves along and the story gets better and better. I was very surprised by the ending. Listening to the epilogue has me hoping another book will soon follow. I urge anyone who believes they do not like audio books , to listen to this book. In the past, I have returned many books because of annoying narrators. Five star story and narration.
