The Other Miss Bridgerton

Publisher's Summary

She was in the wrong place....

Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers’ hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain’s bed....

He found her at the wrong time....

Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he’s stunned to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin. Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. But no, she is very real - and his duty to the Crown means he's stuck with her.

Can two wrongs make the most perfect right?

When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal - though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew’s secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart...?

fun romantic adventure

I enjoyed this prequel. Both the hero and heroine were engaging and real. The story plot was a bit predictable, which I found mostly relaxing but occasionally disappointing.

Delightful Period Love Story

Well written and an inside look at more and manners two centuries ago. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Couldn’t finish it

Incredibly disappointing story from Quinn and plodding narration. Underdeveloped characters and no chemistry. Don’t bother.

The other Miss Bridgerton

How somebody can come up with so much wording, and I might ad it seems frivolous, Drag this story on and on to the point of boredom.
I would’ve like to hear a different voice for him since his voice almost sounds childish. His voice should’ve been manually and husky

Very nice

It was very well done I really enjoyed the story line. I look forward to listening to other books

An Enviable Adventure!

The long banter can be kind of tedious but overall a very good and exciting story! I personally love ship adventures.

Nice prequel

Good plot and interesting characters- they fit well with the rest of the family- but the audible performance would have benefited from dual narration.

Caves are seldom safe.

Poppy Bridgerton is a restless young lady, never believing it unsafe for her to ditch her maid and go off alone to explore. After leaving her maid on a bench, Poppy explores the coastline and discovers a cave that peaks her curosity. Climbing inside she finds it is a smugglers hiding place. While looking around she suddenlly hears voices coming toward her. Unable to find a safe place to hide, Poppy leans back as far as possible hoping the shadow will keep her hidden. Unfortunatelly she is exacty where the smugglers are looking for boxes to carry with them and finds herself carried along, in a burlap bag. Julia Quinn has written a delightful 'kidnapped' story and is narrated wonderfully by Rosalyn Landor.

I Forgot

I forgot Julia Quinn's novels are enjoyable reads - 'reads' being the important word. Because in my opinion Rosalyn Landor's narrations are overly dramatic, the men all sound 2 decades older than written and the story is ruined. Not a fan. I forgot and used a credit to listen rather than borrow it from my local library. The story was enjoyable and uniquely different. Worth a reread in the future.

Rosalyn Landor and Julia Quinn have once again teamed up to deliver an exceptional experience!
