About this listen

Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she’ll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.

From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will Marianne be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.

I have come to absolutely love the reader. The story is brilliant, with a great understanding of what it is to be young, love, friendship and attraction.

It's glorious.

Jane Austen, Bronte sisters and Gaskall aside, Edenbrooke is my favourite historical romance, so lighthearted and fun, it has the best banter between the protagonists.

After the classics my favourite historical romance

A fluffy story, good fun. It is read, however, by what I can only describe as a female Dick van Dyke. She is clearly American and struggles with a British accent. It comes across at times like Burt in Mary Poppins, at times like an emotionless robot when she's struggling to pronounce the 't's and really never manages the 'u's at all in any combination. It's a shame, because it detracts from the story.

A bit silly at times but otherwise a really heartwarming love story. Loved the voice actress, she really made Regency England come to life

Cute and chaste

This is a lovely regency romance, you want the two main characters to find love. I have read the story a few times and wanted the audio version. The narrator is abit strange. She is obviously not English and is putting on an English accent, but after awhile I got used to it.

Light- hearted historical romance
