About this listen

Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she’ll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.

From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will Marianne be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.

Critic Reviews

"Delightful and completely engrossing Heyeresque Regency debut....This beautiful love story will warm (only) the reader’s heart." ( Publishers Weekly)

This story is a lovely dream of a romance. With pseudo-rival twin sisters, one of which has always perceived herself as the lesser of the pair. Personal transformations seem to happen all around with recognition & acceptance of one’s worth, and recognition when one has strayed too far into self-centredness that one betrays one’s own values. Although, I don’t think I’ll ever think of the original “unwanted suitor” at the beginning without slightly gagging — there is some very good and detailed, albeit repulsive at times, descriptions.

Clean & cute romance

The story is one of my favorites but the narration leaves a lot to be desired. Clearly an American faking a British accent and it's painful. She mispronounces words frequently and it's grating. I really hope the author invests in a new narration at some point.

Wonderful story, terrible narration!
