About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

In all her 25 years, Venetia Lanyon has never been further than Harrogate.

Nor has she enjoyed the attentions of any man aside from her two wearisomely persistent suitors.

Then, in one extraordinary encounter, she meets a neighbour she knew only by reputation - the infamous Jasper Damerel.

Before she realises it, Venetia is encouraging a man whose way of life has scandalised the North Riding for years.

Critic reviews

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes.... Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)

"Rapturously romantic." (Katie Fforde)

this is one of my top five favourite Georgette Heyer books, very nicely narrated too

another great favourite

When the two lovers come together their chemistry is unpalatable. But the social set and tom drama was rather stretched out and became tedious, wish more focus was on the couple. Aside from that a lovely book and can see myself re-listening to it.

Not the best but enjoyable

As always thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful Georgette Heyer. Very entertaining with some laugh out loud moments.

Wonderful!

I thought the narrator was excellent too. She could certainly teach other narrators a thing or two about characterisation! Really enjoyed it.

Excellent book. Such fun!

what a great story. The character are so good. The heroes are so likeable and the villains so hateable. Some of the reviews say that the performance is not that good, but it didn't bother me that much that there weren't multiple accents and voices going on. I really enjoyed it.
