The Discarded Companion: Cousins of Cavendish Square

By: Rosanne E. Lortz

Narrated by: Maria Nicola Johnson

A blackmail threat. A fake engagement. A runaway bride. Join the Cousins of Cavendish Square in three clean and sweet Regency romances.

*****

Unwed, unwanted, and unsure where to turn, Lady Jemima must find the mettle to forge her own future—a future that does not include meddlesome solicitor Graham Talbot.

When Lady Jemima Fitzwater is dismissed from Princess Charlotte’s household, she discovers that her invalid mother at Cavendish Square has been running through money like water. Jemima tries to fend off the mounting debts, but an unfortunate indiscretion from her past threatens to destroy both her reputation and her resolve. The only person who might be able to help is her man of business, Mr. Talbot, but is telling him her secret too high a price to pay?

Graham Talbot aspires to start his own practice as solicitor to the rich and famous. But he soon discovers that Lady Jemima Fitzwater is far from rich and on the brink of infamy instead. As he searches for solutions to her predicament, he finds himself drawn to her kindness and constancy. But when one careless action threatens his career, he must choose whether it is more important to save his own neck, or to risk it all for the sake of Lady Jemima’s happiness.

This clean Regency romance is part of the Cousins of Cavendish Square series but can be listened to as a standalone.

Very Enjoyable...

I really enjoyed this story! I was a bit curious (and slightly concerned) about how everything would come together, but I needn’t have worried—it all came together brilliantly in the end. While I would have liked to see a bit more comeuppance for certain characters, the resolution was still satisfying. The narration was excellent and an absolute joy to listen to from start to finish.
