very slow start

keep listening it does get better. The book leaves a lot left unfinished but its an ok listen

great but...

I over the story, BUT

it felt like the author ran out of time and quickly tied up the loose ends. perhaps some of the things we didn't get resolutions for will be addressed in the next book. For example, is ANYTHING done to her uncle for how he did Georgie and her sister?

a great adventure with surprising twists

Boyle begins her story with intensity and passion then it flowed into an amazing adventure. the female characters are intelligent and talented. the hero and other dominate male characters are well-defined with logical motives. Duerden read the book with expression. I could hardly put it down because I couldn't wait to see how Boyle was going to resolve the plight. it didn't disappoint and there wasn't anything typical about it.

Same story as the rest

The beginning of the story was good but as usual you have a female that is ridiculous. Instead of asking questions she assumes she is right. Would like to see the heroine be more sensible. I couldn't finish this book because the heroine tore my nerves up. I love this author but I just couldn't stomach Georgie any longer than Chapter 14.

Don't waste a credit

The plot unbelievable, the characters had no chemistry and not even Susan Duerden's narration could save it.

Good listen

Narration was great as always by Susan Duerden. Story was also good. Overall a good read. It was better than Emmaline's story by far.

Not to be taken seriously

Gung-ho ladies, a highly improbable set of circumstances and a reluctant hero. The narrator pitches it accordingly.

great story

very enjoyable good story, good it had laughs, sad bits and great narrating will listen again for the 3rd time

Highly entertaining and well written!

Wonderful fun romance !
Susan Duerden does an outstanding job giving all the characters distinctive voices ! It was easy to figure out who was speaking.

So, if you're looking for a fun, lighthearted Regency read - you found it!
