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.

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.

Isabella Beverley is blessed with unparalleled beauty but, unfortunately, has been raised in the most snobbish and haughtiest of families. When her father gambles away their fortune - including Mannerling, the exquisite family mansion - Isabella discovers there is very little sympathy for her plight. As the eldest, Isabella is chosen to court Mr. Judd, the roguish bachelor who won Mannerling. Surely no sacrifice is too great to regain Mannerling? But tempting her away from Mr. Judd is Lord Fitzpatrick, an Irish rake who fears Isabella can never love a man as she does her home.

Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.

Publisher's Summary
Two sisters vie for a notorious Marquess in this historical romance by bestselling author Marion Chesney
Must one sister suffer in poverty while the other lives in the lap of luxury? This question plagued Harriet Clifton incessantly. Inviting herself to her widowed sister Cordelia's posh London townhouse for the season was surely the only way to meet a suitable partner - as well as escape drafty old Pringle House forever.
The vain Cordelia was meanwhile casting her net for the notorious Marquess of Arden, a man who would rather court a mistress than wed a wife.
Who would have believed that the Marquess would succumb to Harriet's countrified charms? - or that Cordelia would stoop quite so low as to try to conquer the Marquess at her own sister's expense?

Best ending ever!
All of the usual Marion Chesney romance elements - sweet girl, pretty but in an unfashionable way and poor, meets rich rakish aristocrat. Everyone is against them, but they still manage to fall in love. This one is different, however, because it has the addition of three of the best and most hilarious ending twists, ever!

A light listen with no real content. A bit of fluff to listen to after a long day. Lindy Nettleton narrates this well. The story was totally unrealistic but that is not why I listened to this type of fiction.

Marion Chesney audibles are a terrific way to pass a few delightful hours in another world. Several of these Regency romances do not even require an audible credit. The tales are light and predictable and I find Lindy Nettleton’s voice an upper crust delight. I have listened to several tales this winter and sometimes I find myself at work using Regency slang or speaking with the affect of the tonne.
This particular novel has a great heroine in Harriet Clinton; a church mouse poor girl of quality living in a decaying family home with her elderly auntie. She encounters the Marquess of Arden on her property one afternoon and she and Aunt Rebecca do their best to entertain him and his young cousin Bertram with no food, heat, or even tea in house. The Marquess shows them great kindness and generosity with no judgement or malice. After the visit Harriet decides it’s time to live with heat and food and company. She makes the brave decision to descend on her wealthy sister Cordelia in London. Cordelia’s a nasty, selfish piece of work who is pursuing a relationship with the Marquess of Arden. What follows is a great story with humor, romance, misunderstanding, balls, dresses, jealousy and finally true love.

Another great M.C. Beaton!
Once again I was delighted by another M.C. Beaton book from the 1980's! These books have such interesting characters, great stories about each character, twists & turns in her books, and ALWAYS the great ending of a wonderful, hard-earned love story! I use these to take my mind off the calamity & horrible things going on in the world lately (2022)! Can only take so much of world news without getting depressed! These are nice, clean romances! Will make u laugh too. Highly Recommend!!

Enjoyable romp
I very much enjoyed this story. I do think that the actions toward the end of the character Bertram are a bit too extreme, as well as inconsistent with his previous actions (such as what he does to the vicarage and his wife). Both his and the main male character’s thoughts and actions seem a bit inconsistent at times. However, those if the two sisters are more consistent. Harriet is definitely a heroine to cheer for (please excuse the dangling participle!). Overall, it is a fun story with a HEA ending.

He attended church in Lochdubh. He told the minister, Mr. Wellington, that his sermons were boring. He told tweedy Mrs. Wellington that she was too fat and in these days of increasing obesity it was her duty to show a good example. Angela Brody was told her detective stories were pap for the masses and it was time she wrote literature instead. He accused Hamish of having dyed his fiery red hair.

Story
Nobody loves an honest man, or that was what police sergeant Hamish Macbeth tried to tell newcomer Paul English. Paul had moved to a house in Cnothan, a sour village on Hamish's beat. He attended church in Lochdubh. He told the minister, Mr. Wellington, that his sermons were boring. He told tweedy Mrs. Wellington that she was too fat and in these days of increasing obesity it was her duty to show a good example. Angela Brody was told her detective stories were pap for the masses and it was time she wrote literature instead. He accused Hamish of having dyed his fiery red hair.

Hamish Macbeth ambles over to the nearby backwater of Drim, ostensibly to check out a posh English chap who is causing a most unusual problem. Single, wealthy, and terribly attractive, newcomer Peter Hynd has thrown the middle-aged matrons of Drim into a flutter and put their men, dour Highlanders whose feelings run deep, on a slow burn. Hamish’s instincts tell him this seemingly charming young man likes to stir up trouble, and it’s not long before the seething emotions transform the sleepy village into a hotbed of threats, domestic rows, and violent murder.

Eliza Budley is a beautiful widow whose husband gambled away his fortune. Lady Fortescue reminds the others that, to be fair, Mrs. Budley has no relatives on whom she can call. Gentle Mrs. Budley thinks she has escaped her fate until Sir Philip comes up with a plan: He has heard that the elderly Marquess of Peterhouse is senile, a widower, extremely rich, and unlikely to remember whether Mrs. Budley is a relative or not. So off Mrs. Budley goes. But the marquess turns out to be not so old, hardly senile, and, in fact, quite handsome.

When Scotland is hit by the recession, Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices that the Highland people are forced to come up with inventive ways to lure tourists to their sleepy towns. The quaint village of Braikie doesn't have much to offer, other than a place of rare beauty called Buchan's Wood, which was bequeathed to the town. The savvy local tourist director renames the woods "The Fairy Glen," and has brochures printed with a beautiful photograph of a kingfisher rising from a pond on the cover. It isn't long before coach tours begin to arrive.

Just when everything at the Poor Relation Hotel seems to be running smoothly, Sir Philip brings in another poor relation, Mrs. Budge. When Sir Philip presents his paramour, Lady Fortescue swears great oaths and says the woman is probably related to half the costermongers in London and certainly does not possess one rich relative. Mrs. Budge does nothing but eat all day and refused to do any work around the hotel. Worst of all, Miss Tonks seems to be taking the romance between Sir Philip and Mrs. Budge quite hard.

Story
In Scotland, where thrift and a "nice set of dentures" are generally admired, dental surgeon Dr. Frederick Gilchrist’s cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him a clientele. However, wiser Highlanders (like Hamish Macbeth) opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer’s all-too-busy hands. A blinding toothache sends Hamish Macbeth 120 miles out of Lochdubh to the infamous dentist’s door. Unfortunately for Hamish and Gilchrist, someone has canceled all the doctor’s appointments - permanently.
