Sylvester is read by Matt Addis, who appears in Doctors and Doctor Who.

Sylvester, Duke of Salford, is considering marriage.

Endowed with rank, wealth and elegance, Sylvester, Duke of Salford, posts into Wiltshire to discover if the Honorable Phoebe Marlow will meet his exacting requirements for a bride. If he does not expect to meet a tongue-tied stripling wanting both manners and conduct, then he is intrigued indeed when his visit causes Phoebe to flee her home. They meet again on the road to London, where her carriage has come to grief in the snow. Yet Phoebe, already caught in one imbroglio, now knows she soon could be well deep in another ...

A typically wonderful historical novel, Sylvester shows once more why Georgette Heyer is the undisputed queen of the genre she created - the Regency romance.

Fantastic narration. Good plot progression. Interesting mix of characters. I found some parts amusing, particularly those involving the nephew (ward). The problem is that, although I thought Sylvester was ultimately a good egg and liked him a lot, I found Phoebe sanctimonious and just couldn't warm to her. at. all. They got their HEA but the last 2 or so chapters getting there were frustrating.

One of my favourite Georgette Heyers read by someone who manages to bring each character to life with his voice

Having been a Georgette fan for 45 years, it astounds me that all the male narrators manage to portray these funny, strong female characters as simpering ninnies!

arrrggghhh male narrators!

The characters are lovable, they get into the most outrageous scrapes and I was laughing out loud so many times. Worth every cent to purchase & I will listen to it again in the future. The reader did a great job with the voices. Highly recommend.

Excellent & So Entertaining!
