Story
There are worse things than being spectacularly jilted. Losing a leg, for instance, or getting shot - well, perhaps not: The bullet Alistair took fighting in the peninsula never landed him in London's scandal sheets. Captain Alistair Beaumaris never dreamed he'd be tossed over by Lord Fairchild's bastard daughter, losing both her and her fortune - a singular humiliation that should have taught him a lesson. But when your luck is out, you do foolish things, like quarrel with your oldest friend. Or mistake a perfectly respectable widow for a lady of easy virtue.

Story
Strangers meet, romance blossoms. But there's a test...A classic fairytale retold. Good English families all have a house in the country with a deer park, a trout stream, and an army of gardeners. They should have a son and if it can be managed, he should be handsome. Cleverness isn't important. Daughters in limited quantities are fine so long as they are pretty. Bastards are inconvenient and best ignored. It's not a big problem, unless you are one. Unfortunately, Sophy is.

Enjoyable Romance!
I really enjoyed the tale of romance, in this book, without unnecessary sex scenes. The characters were believable, and the last chapters were very exciting. The narrator’s male voices didn’t work well, in my opinion. However, her overall performance was good.

Not your usual regency
Enjoyed this wrap up to the series very much. I liked the growth of so many characters throughout the series, especially Lord and Lady Fairchild. All the characters have human foibles to overcome. Didn’t miss steamy sex scenes usually so repetitive in the genre. Clever dialogue and engaging plot. Laura and Jasper are a fun couple. Will look for more from this author and narrator.

Better than I Thought
Going into it, I wasn’t sure I would be able to get past the first few chapters. As much as I love Lucy Paterson’s narration, she gave Jasper a nasal, weasley voice, and he was written as an overgrown child in the previous two books. I didn’t think I could see him as a romantic lead. I did finish this book and the story wasn’t all that bad. It is a bit convoluted in places, and begs for whatever it can get to patch the large holes in the story. Sometimes it settles on confusion to get the job done. At least it isn’t half-hearted about it - it blatantly steps into the quicksand and smiles as it sinks. I forgave and forgot and moved on. Much easier than trying to untangle the hopeless ball of yarn. I think the author and the narrator both like Jasper the best. They give him a spiffy intelligence and he can run circles around everyone else. That was the fun part. He is quite creative. I did not like the leading lady. At all. He deserved far, far better than the self-inflated egomania she relishes. She is horribly flawed and she wallows in that fact like it is a high honor.

Amazing and Captivating Narrator
This is a wonderful regency with twists and turns. I didn't realize this was a series and am listening to this third book first. I will definitely be listening to the others as soon as I'm finished. Lucy Paterson is absolutely amazing and I will be looking for other books that she has narrated. She really makes the experience.

Wonderful
Not a typical romance, thank God ! I've read all three in the series, this is my favorite. I appreciate how finely developed the characters are, and that this is not a paint by numbers romance novel. I also appreciate the lack of graphic sex scenes. Plenty of passion here, just not explicit. At this point in my life, most sex scenes are just cringey and I skip them anyway. No need for that here ! There is a plot device she uses in this book that was a bit trite (unlike the other two), other than that, it's a lot better than the typical romance novel. I consider Laura Kinsale and Diana Gabaldon may favorite writers in this genre, Jaima is joining the ranks in my book ! Hope to see more from her in the future.

Very Regency, Very Sweet
The writing was good, the plot was fun and Jaima Fixsen put together the storylines like a puzzle — it wasn’t just the same old plot, but had new elements and an interesting and original heroine. There was an inexplicable obstacle I didn’t buy near the end — parents treating a 27-year-old man like a teenager — but I ignored that part . I really enjoyed this and Lucy Paterson read it very well, giving the characters their own distinct voices.
