Summary
Fleeing a proposal and in search of a fortune, one headstrong young lady moves to London to play the high-stakes game of love. Catheryn Westering has no intention of marrying her respectable but boring cousin, Edmund Caston, and her aunt and uncle have no intention of giving her access to her newly discovered fortune. Daringly, she rushes to London to appeal to her distant, very attractive kinsman, the Earl of Dambroke, for help.
Before Dambroke knows it, she's become an essential part of his household: an eager participant in the London social whirl; a protege of his mother; a confidante to his spoilt sister and his mischievous younger brother; and a thorn in the masterful Earl's side. But London is a dangerous place, and although Dambroke frequently objects to Catheryn's "interference" in his family and social affairs, is it possible that, beneath his exasperation, much warmer feelings for Catheryn have already ignited?

Okay
I don't know if it was the narrator (sorry narrator) or the story that didn't work for me. Perhaps it was both. I enjoyed it but it felt a bit silly. Would like to hear a different one with a different narrator to see.

Good story with a few unusual twists
Good story with a predictable ending but has a few twists along the way, very much in the line of Georgette Beyer and no unnecessary sex scenes, will listen to more of this author

Cringing within the first few minutes.
If you hire somebody to read an audiobook set in England, you should at least make sure they have some idea of how to pronounce English proper nouns!
I would have left this at a single-star review, solely for the performance, if it were up to me, but overall is required, so I gave that 3, to be charitable to the author. I cannot, however, tell you whether the story itself is any good: I couldn't get far enough to find out, because the narrator was making me wish I could throw my phone at the wall within the first 3 minutes.
Here's a tip: the first syllable of Berkshire should rhyme with "dark". Not "irk".

Yes but No
I can only assume these recordings are made in Canada or USA, as the reader has no idea of how to pronounce normal ENGLISH WORDS. So story can be rather irritating

Enjoyable Heyer rip-off
The first few chapters felt a bit like deja-vu: it felt like I waslistening to a Georgette Heyer title with echoes of the Grand Sophy. Nevertheless, it is an enjoyable listen with some great characters. Narration was fine. It’s also clean with just a couple of kisses.

Sparkling wit
Love the light hearted romance set in period appropriate mores. Though with a feisty heroine forcing our hero to change for her!

Generally excellent
There are some notable lapses in pronunciation, commented on by other: d”Welwyn and Berkshire being two shocking examples. However that aside it is well, if idiosyncratically read. The story is a kind of sub- Georgette Heyer but is a good regency romp! Enjoyable in a light hearted way.

A nice read
A light story, but a good listen. Could have been longer with a fuller plot

The story was engaging and had a little drama to lift it from pure romance
This was one of Amanda Scott’s better stories but the narrator made so many pronunciation mistakes that it detracted from the tale. Dozens of words were used incorrectly and I doubt they were written like that, and should have been re recorded.
