About this listen

‘Sophie Irwin is an exciting and original voice. She's a must-buy author for me.’ Taylor Jenkins Reid

‘A delicious Regency romp for fans of Bridgerton.’ Red

‘Scandal, art and romance – this is the best Regency romp set in Bath since Persuasion!’ Good Housekeeping

A lifetime of duty

Widowed at just seven-and-twenty from her marriage of convenience, Eliza, now Countess of Somerset, is bequeathed a fortune, hers to keep – provided she can steer clear of scandal.

The promise of love

The last thing she expects is to be torn between two very different men – a face from the past, whose loss she’s always mourned, and a roguish poet, who scorns convention.

A taste of freedom

But a lady’s reputation is fragile and with jealous eyes on Eliza’s fortune, it will only take one whisper of gossip for her to lose it all…

Escape with the most delightful, historical romance of the year from the Sunday Times bestselling author Sophie Irwin!

‘A very modern sensibility, witty and fun’ Adele Parks

‘Fans of Bridgerton will enjoy this well-observed Regency story with a plucky protagonist.’ Candis

This must have been a good story for me to have tolerated the very poor reading of Imogen Church. People just don’t talk in that way. Margaret in particular who was a bright and witty character was turned into a squawking witch. The male characters were better but overplayed. I kept going over what was being read and imagining it being read in a more normal way. The story was however really good so if you can turn an undiscerning ear to the narration I would recommend it.

Excellent story but distracting narration

I thought this would be a predictable story but it took many twists and turns and kept me guessing.

She writes very catchy books you can’t put down. I love the characters and was sad that it had to end.

another great story by Sophie

I really enjoyed the first book but couldn’t get into this one as much. Part of it was the plot (which was not as compelling and a bit obvious) but I also found the narrator very annoying which made this hard to get through. Good for a fun summer read.

Could’ve done with more scandals.

I love the story; sassy, romantic, emotional and well written. The narration is perfect and I can’t wait for more titles in this series
