About this listen

When the Marquis of Amberley's coach is waylaid by highwaymen and his coachman shot, he is forced to take shelter at the first house he finds and is subsequently trapped there for a week by a severe snowstorm.

Oakleigh Manor is the home of Rosalind Vernon who lives alone but for her devoted servants and an ill-natured parrot, cut off from the outside world by the tragic result of a childhood accident. But Rosalind is brave and bright and totally devoid of self-pity - and it is these qualities which, as the days pass and the snow continues to fall, touch Amberley's heart.

On his return to London, the Marquis persuades Rosalind's brother, Philip, to bring her to town for a taste of society, despite her handicap. But the course of Amberley's courtship is far from smooth. Philip Vernon actively dislikes him; Rosalind appears to be falling under the spell of the suavely elegant Duke of Rockliffe; and worse still, Amberley is haunted by a dark and terrible secret that, if revealed, may cause him to lose Rosalind forever.

Quite a few shades of the great Miss Heyer can be found here, but in a manner of homage rather than the blatantly annoying copying usually found.
Humorous and entertaining, with villains an heroes aplenty!
I look forward to more work from Stella Riley.

Delightful regency romance (clean/traditional)

A very good attempt at difficult subject that sadly little is written about. A very enjoyable story of love and the tangles of a Georgian Romance.
The main female character ends up being blind. It really was not difficult to put two and two together and work out what had happened to her.
But a good fun, and interesting way of working around her life and difficulties.
Well done for handling this quite well.
A good read in the Georgette Heyer type of writing

Well Done

This was an enjoyable read, A main character who is blind isn't one I've come across before and this made it interesting. Nice clean romance, was a little short. I could listen to any book narrated by Alex Wyndam.

Sweet read
