About this listen

An aimless life. An unsettled conscience. Can the gentlewoman next door bring a new sense of purpose to this duke run aground in Derbyshire?

Nigel Lymington, the new Duke of Warrenton, always played second fiddle to his elder brother’s wild exploits. After rising to the title himself, he tries to live up to his family’s rakish reputation, only to discover that he has neither the temperament nor the money to indulge in the wastrel Warrenton way of life.

While rusticating in Derbyshire, he encounters a gentlewoman named Miss Belinda Morrison who cares more about tenants and crop rotation than tittle-tattle and court connections. Can Nigel learn to plough a straight enough furrow to attract an honest woman of intelligence and industry? And will Bel Morrison set down her ledgers long enough to let him dance his way into her heart?

An homage to the beloved Georgette Heyer, this clean and wholesome Regency romance follows the adventures of a droll duke, a competent heroine, an inexperienced valet, an interfering vicar, and a mischievous feline.

An utterly charming romance that is tucked inside my heart for good. I absolutely love the story with its humour and many touching moments, and I adore the characters, they are my favourites of the whole series. The narration by Maria Nicola Johnson is delightful, she totally nails the voices, characters, and humour.

A review copy of this book was sent to me by the narrator. All of the above opinions are my own.

Utterly charming.
