Summary
Alicia Cameron's audiobooks should be prescribed for depression...
To the miserable atmosphere of the country house of Studham, home to the Fighting Fox family, Miss Ianthe Eames, a whirlwind, arrives.
Known in London as the Fighting Foxes, Lord Edward Fox is at odds with his stepmother, Lady Fox, and her spoiled son Curtis. Studham is hardly a joyful place to live.
As the Fighting Fox family await the arrival of a poor relation from France, Lady Fox is ready to berate her late arrival, Lord Edward Fox is resigned to ignoring her, Curtis is ready to patronise her - while the resident visitors, Lady Richards and her daughter Sally, are ready to sympathise.
In bursts Ianthe Eames - beautiful, richly dressed in the best Paris fashions, confident and joyous, not the pathetic supplicant they expected. Ianthe shocks and delights, and the whole household is upended in a half-hour.
Ianthe seems unaware of Lady Fox's disapproval, unable to be patronised by Curtis, and in need of no sympathy whatsoever. Her beauty and wit make it quite impossible for Lord Edward Fox to ignore her. Edward, wrapped in his defensive shell, finds that before long Ianthe invites him to join her schemes for a happier household than he has ever known.
When Ianthe's friend, the handsome Marquis of Audley meets Sally Richards, sparks fly. The marquis wants no wife, but Sally dents his pride. Soon they are dangerously entangled.
As the gentlemen of the area discover the charming new residents of Studham, the marquis and Lord Fox find themselves with rivals in pursuit of the two young ladies.
There are other mysteries to unwind. Who is the dashing Comte d’Emillion-Orsay? Why does a box of costly jewellery arrive? Who is Ianthe’s strange French maid.

A True Delight
A delightful listen full of chuckles. A great boon for a rainy day. Will listen to this again and again. Thank you all for a well written story and a superb narration.

A very tangled web
Entertaining and amusing story that is let down by a naff ending. Helen Taylor did an excellent job on the narration.

An enjoyable comedy
This was a fun book to listen to, lots to amuse and entertain, I'll be listening to it again.
it's well thought out and read beautifully, I'd recommend it for lovers of historical romances who like a bit of humour thrown in.

Delightful
Gorgeous, amusing, frothy at times and tear-jerking at others. Definitely in the style of Georgette Heyer, with the mother in law from hell - worse, even than in GH’s The Quiet Gentleman- and a sparkling, intelligent heroine as appealing as The Grand Sophy. I have loved all Alicia Cameron’s books, so much so that I now have some in Audible too; Helen Taylor reads them so brilliantly and her voice has a soft timbre that one can listen to for hours. Some female voices can be a tad high pitched and screechy, but not here. All delightful. One to listen to again and again, when escape from the real world is required.
