About this listen

Sophy Hadlow does not want to return for another London Season. Her own debut into Society was marred by self-consciousness and her cringing embarrassment every time she was announced as ‘The Lady Sophronia Hadlow’. Yet, much to her dismay, Sophy is back in London to oversee the debut of her younger sister and their wild cousin, Susan Tyneham, who risks ruining both her own and her innocent cousin’s chances of marriage.

Sophy, a most reluctant chaperone, is left to guide her sister and attempt to keep Susan from complete disaster, all whilst dealing with her own unexpected feelings for the disarming Lord Rothley.

So many stories are fairly predictable, in terms of where they will end, not so this one. It was genuinely interesting to follow the storylines for the three ladies in this story. Narrator, Matt Addis, brought his usual characterisation, which made it extremely enjoyable to listen to, and helped to bring the story alive

An unpredictable story, beautifully narrated

Enjoyable and witty I just had to keep listening. I have listened to all the others and look forward to the next book by Sophia Holloway.

So sad it’s finished!

I thoroughly enjoy Sophia Holloway's books - this one no exception, although the heroine had her man well before the end and it wasn't really dependent on the carriage chase. That said, I pre-ordered the book and devoured it in a couple of days. Can't wait for the next one. And I can't get enough of Matt Addis who is my absolute favourite narrator.

Big fan

I usually really enjoy the books by Sophia Holloway but not this one. I took a real dislike to Susan which I found difficult to overcome, I dont think it was helped by the voice used for her by the narrator which made her sound much older than her years and more wordly wise. I felt that Sophie and Harriet did not have a large enough presence in the whole thing.

No one of my favourites by this aithor

Interesting difficult female character, meaningful emotional subplots. In-depth characterisations, some nice men! Hints of passion.

Lovely complex plot
