About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A delightful romantic adventure from one of the best-known and beloved historical novelists of all time.

Robin and Prudence Merriot have been dissemblers since they were children. And in this age of slippery politics, they need to be. So it is nothing for them to rescue a rich heiress from her abductor. But once committed to their masquerade, they must see it through....

For more than 50 years, Georgette Heyer was the undisputed queen of historical romance. And as these hugely successful reprints have shown, she still has a large devoted fan base.

A little gem. I really enjoyed and the narration was nicely done. I highly recommend.

Delightful

The story is preposterous but fine. The narrator does voices well, but can pronounce neither french nor regency period terms. It gets a bit grating, especially when it changes the meaning of the phrase, ie she said drawing a bow (like bending at waist in token of respect) versus drawing a bow (like a bow and arrow) at a venture.

Fun story, adequate performance

This Heyer story was ultimately very enjoyable but due to its plot, which involved people dressing up and pretending to be members of the opposite sex, it took a bit of understanding at the start. So many names. Also the characters were not particularly appealing. The narrator was good and effortlessly dealt with the boy/ girl confusion. It was worth the trouble in the end.

A very complicated tale

Eleanor Yates did an excellent job, although one of the characters sounded like Margaret Thatcher

Really enjoyed

Performance was ok bar a couple of characters whose ‘voices’ just grated slightly. One made to sound inane.

Love this story
