About this listen
From a dazzling new voice in historical fiction comes a "delectable and delightful debut" about a pair of mismatched lovers who unwillingly find themselves engaged in a most scandalous position....
Miss Gail Alton was not having a good day. Or a good year. First, she's strong-armed into attending the Season as a foil to her beautiful sister,Evangeline. Then, while riding her mare in the park, she gets toppled by a stuffy, self-important, too-handsome-by-half "gentleman" who has the audacity to blame her for their fall into the chilly lake! Little does Gail know that the very same man will soon be found in a compromising position with her sister....
Forced into asking for Evangeline's hand in marriage, Maximillian, Viscount Fontaine, can't take his mind off the irksome girl who threw him from his horse and who can match wits with him at every turn. He's determined to follow through with his best intentions, yet he can't deny that Gail makes him want to cast propriety aside - and whisk away the sister of his soon-to-be bride....

A surprising delight

I would advise you to ignore that review.
This is a regency novel with the distinction of telling about lives in the Beau Monde and those characters and friendships that hover both on the edge of the Ton in business (Trade! Gasp!), Politics and enterprise, who are acceptable because of great wealth, an old but distant family connection and offered peerages from grateful monarchy and the favour of the Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington.
You don’t often see how these groups mix the class structures through schooling, friendships, travel and war… makes for an interesting ‘plot C’. The main plot, is actually a comedy of errors and the female lead, Abigail, is a breath of surprising fresh air for her time. Plot B is easily the most traditional historical story and the only intrigue is how, alongside ‘plotA’, the story gets resolved. But the fun of it is, that the resolution is very novel.
I do think that it needn’t have taken so long to resolve, but it doesn’t suffer overall for the length, give it a chance, it’s an original piece of work in as far as, it’s not all Almacks and sad crushes…
Not Tripe - ignore that foolish review!

For me, after reading the tripe v not tripe comments already submitted, this book is very much a sows ear masquerading as a silk purse.
Narrator was good.
