About this listen

Can two passionate people stop fighting long enough to admit their love for each other?

After spirited Lady Sybilla Calverton discovers her husband , the Earl of Ramsbury, in an embrace with the notorious Lady Fanny Mandeville, she returns to her father’s home in Bath determined to match the wayward Ramsbury scandal for scandal. When the Earl learns that his wife has stirred gossip by being seen too often with elegant collector Sidney St. Denis, he hastens to Bath to see if the gossip is true - and to reinsert himself into Sybilla’s affairs. Quarrels immediately reignite between them - and so does their passion. But are their strong wills the only threat to their love, or is someone deliberately trying to destroy their tempestuous marriage?

The Bath Quadrille is the first book of the Bath Trilogy, which also includes The Bath Charade and The Bath Eccentric’s Son.

At the start, I thought that the story was a bit cluttered with characters but that may be due to my constant interruptions whilst attempting to get a feel for the story. What a heroine, always running after someone else to fix their problems. The he ending was much more satisfying when the story came together and the dreadful character portraying herself as a mistress got her come uppance.

The heroine needed to be strong for everyone so took a while to clean up her own issues.

An interesting enough story but not as good as the blurb suggested - most likely because I found Sybilla's personality polarising.

Both leads were headstrong but I felt Ned cut Sybilla a lot more slack than she gave him or deserved, as I found her behaviour and thought-process often annoying.

Sybilla bore alot of responsibility for her family which in a way I can understand and relate (hats off to her), however, her family members were all self-absorbed and she enabled their selfish behaviour by running to their aid at a drop of a hat and not talking any of them to task. On the flipside, she was compelled to constantly assert her opinion with regards to Ned and always be right, when he sincerely wished to want make amends with her by appealling to reason and seeking mutual trust. If these two had communicated efficiently at the start of their marriage then perhaps the issues could have been nipped in the bud - but then there'd be no story!

There are other books in this series and I will get around to listening to them at some point but not right now.

I wasn't the greatest fan of Sybilla

Highly disliked both main characters and story was too long and drawn out. Found it difficult to finish but will give the remaining stories in the series a go. Narration was good.

Unlikeable characters
