About this listen

Hours of listening in one collection—books 1-3 of the Mercer’s House series, a collection of traditional Regency romances, drawing room rather than bedroom.

A family grown rich in the wool trade. The landed gentry they’ve displaced. And the gentle daughter whose beauty will open the door to an even greater prize - the nobility.


In book 1, Julia Fletcher is the unimportant daughter of the Fletcher family, with neither beauty nor wit nor accomplishments, but always in a scrape. Somehow she never manages to get through the day without breaking or spilling or tearing something. She’s quite the despair of her stepmother. She’s looking forward to their grand new home because it will give her a vast estate to roam over without getting into too much trouble. Or so she hopes.

In book 2, Will Fletcher is the eldest son and heir to the family fortune, and although his father is reluctant to relinquish his roots in trade, Will is more than happy to become a gentleman. He looks and sounds the part, but can he act the part, too? He soon finds that the world of high society is not easy to break into. It’s humiliating enough that the aristocracy disdain him, but how dare a lowly poor relation spurn his attentions?

In book 3, Angie Fletcher is the lively, mischievous daughter of the family. All she wants in her life is music and dancing, plenty of pretty new bonnets, and perhaps just the occasional trick played on her tolerant family. She’s been unusually well-behaved during the season in London, in dread of the least transgression curtailing all those glorious balls. Now the family is off to Bath, and freedom—surely a little game won’t hurt? But Bath residents are not as forgiving as Angie expected, and she soon finds herself in deeper trouble than she could have imagined.

Books 1-3 of the seven book Mercer’s House series.

We gently become involved with the whole family. We watch them navigate the social structure of the time so very effectively and we watched them do it without compromise. Impressive.

Romping tale well told

without mary kingswood's mysteries, it makes for a bunch of well off characters without direction. the third story goes on and on, the gentleman a yawn ....... the narrator is very good in this collection.

disappointed
