About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Annis Wychwood delights in her independence.

Beautiful, rich and far too busy for love, she has turned down the advances of many a hopeful suitor.

But when she becomes entangled in the affairs of a runaway heiress, she encounters the girl's guardian, the notorious Oliver Carleton. While Oliver may be a reckless and uncivil rogue, Annis can't help but be drawn towards his wild ways.

"Rapturously romantic." (Katie Fforde)

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)

Listening to the Georgette Heyer audiobooks should be amazing. particularly since the narrators are English. however i am stuggling with them. Katherine Press narrates this book, and while the voices are good, the narrative was extremely flat. I find when men narrate, they make the main women protagonists seem like insipid vapid individuals instead of the strong delightful characters they all are. Yet the men give all the males splendid male voices in general. so far Gemma Whelan (Venitia) is the only one who has managed to capture all
that a Georgette Heyer book should be!

A lovely story, dragged down by a ho hum narrator.
