Story
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.

Regency Romance - with plenty of twists & humour

Publisher's summary
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.
Before she even realizes what is happening, Alice finds herself in a world of opposites: The man she thought she loved is something other than he seems; and the man she married, something far more than she hoped. Her last hope and redemption has to be convincing the man she wedded that they are in love.

Lydia was never the most upstanding of the Bennet sisters, but who ever said that moral rectitude was fun? At least she bested her elder sisters and was the first to get married. She never could understand what all the fuss was about after she left Brighton with her gallant. It is a shame, though, that Mr. Wickham turned out to be a disappointing husband in so many aspects, the most notable being his early demise on the battlefields of Waterloo. And so Lydia, still not yet twenty and full of enterprising spirit, is in urgent need of a wealthy replacement.

Loved it!
The build up to the end while predictable had me on the edge of my seat laughing my head off. I was excited to get to the next book in the series. Happy Listening!

Beaton and Eyre - great duo!
Have thoroughly enjoyed all my experiences with this author. The narration by Justine Eyre is perfect for the stories she reads. Downloading more with the two paired.

Funny
Enjoyed listening to this one so much that I finished it in one sitting. Humorous story from start to finish.

Too formulaic
This story of jealousy & misunderstandings plus miscommunications is not new nor is it told in an intriguing manner. Justine Eyre’s fine performance definitely helped but can not overcome the overall weakness.

Another happy ending
At first, I disliked Eyre's voice, but after a few chapters I grew to like it very much. The plot is marvelously ridiculous with distinct characters.
