Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband.

Promisingly Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.©2024 Sophia Holloway (P)2025 W.

An easy tale to listen to, with believable characters.
The need to fill the tale with explicit sex was avoide

I like this story, it was believable.

This story was a real treat, loved every minuet of it. Since finding Sophia Holloway as a romantic author I have swallowed up all the books that come on Audible.

Matt Addis narrates beautifully.

No spoilers as such, just read the 'blurb' if you decide to get this book enjoy, I did immensely.

Husband caught!

Charming story without angst and silly misunderstandings. Good characterisation and narration. I particularly enjoyed Roland.

Enjoyable

Not all that romantic, in fact the atmosphere felt a little weird to me, though none the less engrossing for all that. And I think how to catch a husband could just have easily been entitled how to catch a wife! It works as a storyline and has quite a lot going for it, if you can overlook the weirdness. It's a mixed bag.

Slightly odd regency book

Loved everything about it. Actually have listened and read all Sophia Holloway books. The narrator Matt Addis is so very good. One of the best narrators that Audible have performing the books.

Another wonderful story by Sophia Holloway
