Viscount Aubrey "Stony" Wellstone is at the end of his rope - and the end of his family's once-great fortune. Desperate, he tries his luck at the gaming tables, where an offer to exchange his debts for a gentlemanly favor leads to a profitable new profession. The fiercely independent, flame-tressed Miss Ellianne Kane would normally have no use for an upper-class attendant - even one as striking as Stony - but she needs Aubrey's help.

Publisher's Summary
In Regency England, Mrs. Thorne's School for Young Ladies is about to close due to the death of young Clarissa's mother a year ago. This leaves 18-year-old Clarissa Thorne and her three schoolmistress friends no option but to return to the bosoms of their families as despised 'poor relations' - at everyone's beck and call for all their lives.
But Clarissa has just inherited Ashcroft, a large, crumbling estate, and she offers her companions an escape - to run away with her to a life of independence and adventure. They must put the estate to rights with little money and less experience. Can sensible Miss Micklethwaite, aging romantic Miss Appleby, and the beautiful Miss Oriana Petersham escape their fate? To keep the vivacious, impulsive Clarissa in check, they must at least try.
However, their relatives may have other plans.
Meeting the Earl of Grandiston and his companion (a devotee of the divine Oriana) on the road sets hilarious events in motion. Perhaps to adventure the ladies must add romance.

Brilliant!
I'd never heard of this author but this was such a great departure from the usual girl under male control story. Horrible brother & godawful sister in law, but Clarissa & her friends bring them to rout. With the help of a fab supporting cast of friends. Funny & great read by narrator. Please could I have a Sullivan as butler on my next estate(Dream on)!

Hard to follow
I found this very hard to follow, I ended up alternating between reading what I had just listened to and back and forth to clarify. I'm not sure it was worth it.... Yet I can't really point to any specific issue that is bad. All in all okay with the potential to have been really good as the story itself was interesting, just told too fast perhaps. (Not fast like talking fast, tho a little of that too at times)

My Kinda Story
The first I've read that has an excellent ending. This is a laugh out loud story. I especially liked seeing that witch and her husband get what's coming to them. I was shocked to see that the whole house was in on the conspiracy.

A light and loverly farce.
A very exciting read, with likable and realistic characters.
The narrator helped to added even more dimension to the portrayal of each character.
The unfolding of the story was so much fun, I could not put it down until I discovered how it all ended.

A true gem!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Warm characters and irresistible humour.
What did you like best about this story?
The unexpected elements that turned this Regency romp into something more.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The scenes where the girls' older companion flirts the old fashioned way.
Any additional comments?
Loved, loved, loved this audiobook! I had already bought the Kindle version of this book and enjoyed it so much I decided to buy the audiobook book too. And I am so glad I did. The book is an absolute charm - well written, witty and full of loveable characters, and anyone who loves Georgette Heyer really needs to snap this up. Of course, part of the success is due to the choice of narrator - Heath Miller. I hadn't heard of him before, but his reading of this Regency romp was spot on and I'll certainly look out for him in the future. All in all, the best audiobook I've ever listened to.
