About this listen

Benedict Fairburn does not quite need his ailing great-aunt's fortune, especially since he'll have to marry to get it. His family, however, thinks otherwise - as do many of the eligible ladies in London - and the pressure is mounting. An embarrassment of attentions fill Benny's time, but the young lady he prefers roundly dislikes him.

Claire Dalton, cousin to one of Benedict's oldest friends, is too busy debuting in Society to pay much attention to the Fairburn boy who once insulted her past bearing. He doesn't recognize her, but that's hardly upsetting, especially with the fetching Mr. Graham offering his arm.

Unfortunately, Mr. Graham is not all he seems, and each week brings a fresh disaster for Claire's first Season. It's enough to drive a young woman to distraction, especially since Benny Fairburn keeps behaving so very oddly. Concealed tragedy, poor orphans, a dotty great-aunt, deception and misunderstanding whirl in every direction, ready to explode.

Benedict and Claire are perfect for each other. Unfortunately, it may take catastrophe to make them realize as much....

The Lovelorn Lads: A man needs manners, if he is to marry.

Upper class soldiers on leave from the Napoleonic wars described as 'lads' is ridiculous but repeated numerous times is extremely irritating. I didn't bother to listen any further.

'Lad' used numerous times in first chapter

Really enjoyed this story but would have liked more of the love story between Benedict and Claire. Also its based in England and when Claire went for a walk she said block and we don't use that terminology the only thing that niggled, otherwise thought it was brilliant and well told.

Whilst not a great literary piece I found this an enjoyable story to listen to.

Despite other reviews to the contrary, I didn’t find that this novel was so dire as to necessitate dismissing!

Admittedly the unadvised pronunciation of ‘Valet’ is disappointing, which the editors/producers should have paid attention to, and I’m reasonably sure that a comforter was not then known as a duvet, these were the only things I found amiss with this production (Maybe said valet would not have sounded so cockney, either, but…).

The story of itself was a good one, and interesting and I do intend to read the entire series. Very enjoyable.

Not a bad historical romance

The plot was good. I liked that the book had a sense of humour, and that the characters were all well developed. It was a very engaging and entertaining story with a happy ending.It really reminded me of Georgette Heyer books in the best way. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes Georgette Heyer books.

Really lovely story

Lovely story, a joy to listen to! This is Georgette Heyer type story and so heart warming! NO sex scenes, it didn't need them to make the story flow. I will certainly listen to more from this author?

Lovely story! A joy to listen to

Duvets!! Just one example of the extreme historical errors.
And valet is not pronounced with a t. Unfortunate when the word is overused.
I give up.

Too many errors
