About this listen

When Lady Charlton is forced into becoming London's most reluctant matchmaker, sparks fly and romance ensues - from the nationally best-selling author of Marry in Scarlet.

Alice, Lady Charlton, is finally free of her dominating husband, but on the verge of her new life, she is trapped when a blackmailer threatens to publish letters that could ruin her. To protect the secrets of her past Alice must find a lord for his daughter, Lucy, to marry.

Alice reluctantly agrees to find the girl a noble husband, but when Lucy arrives, she's difficult and uncooperative and has no interest in her father's scheme. A lord, she says, will only look down his nose at her - and she's having none of that!

Desperate to retrieve the letters, Alice enlists the aid of her handsome young nephew, Gerald, who in turn seeks the help of his former commanding officer, James, Lord Tarrant. James is soon beguiled by the marriage-averse widow and sets out to change her mind. And each time they meet, Gerald and Lucy strike sparks off each other.

To find happiness, Alice and Lucy will have to be brave and trust in each other and the men who are attempting to win their hearts.

Contains mature themes.

I’m always up for an Anne Gracie book and this is no exception. It’s wonderful to see how the characters change during their journeys. The author’s humour is spread throughout the story. Thornbottle to the end!

I love that it ended with two weddings and wouldn’t have expected any less.

I enjoyed the romance between both couples and it was easy to Like Alice and Lucy. Geralds attempts to get under Lucy's skin made for a few laughs when Lucy thwarted them. but James was my favourite beau determined observant and intelligent, He had Alice in his sights and made it happen, what a breath of fresh air this man was.

Worth a listen

I'm constantly listening to one book or another, and I rarely enjoy a book as much as I have The Scoundrels Daughter. It held my interest from start to finish, and it is so well written. Thank you for this marvellous experience.

Absolutely wonderful!
