About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Kitty Charing's life-changing inheritance comes with a catch.

Her eccentric and childless guardian, Mr. Penicuik, is leaving Kitty all of his vast fortune - but with one condition. She must marry one of his five grand-nephews. However, Kitty's clear favourite - the rakish Jack Westruther - doesn't appear at all interested in the arrangement. To make Jack jealous, Kitty impulsively convinces his cousin, the kind-hearted and chivalrous Freddy Standen, to enter into a pretend engagement.

But the more time she spends with Freddy, the more Kitty wonders whether Jack is the right choice after all....

Critic reviews

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's'." (Joanne Harris)

"Fabulously witty." (Stephen Fry)

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)'

This interpretation of one of my favourite Heyer novels has only increased my enjoyment of the storyline. A great listen and one I will return to again and again.

This is one of my absolute favourite Heyer novels. Freddy Standen is such a brilliant character and the story races along joyfully. The narrator did a reasonable job, his voices for the different characters were generally good but he does occasionally lose the sense of the sentences with emphasising the wrong parts. It doesn’t spoil the story though.

The perfect Heyer

The whole of Kitty's and Freddie's adventurous story kept me enthralled, especially with the excellent narration. Worth more than 5 stars ⭐ ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely fabulous 💕💕

Another winner from Ms Heyer. At times laugh out loud funny. I particularly enjoyed hearing the slang of the time. Have deducted stars due to the strange robotic narration. He really does sound like the automated voice “you now have 3 options”. Don’t know why the audiobook producer did not pick up on this. Richard Armitage’s narration of another GH novel is PEERLESS in comparison and it’s a pity he wasn’t asked to do this one too.

I have read this book before. It is a light, enjoyable read. Listening to this audiobook version I am not sure about how to rate it. Ghatak's voice is very pleasant, he does an excellent job of bringing the characters alive however the reading style is very disjointed. It sometimes suits the characters but most often it is very annoying. Seems like he is reading a script line-by-line. Also, towards the end of the book there are many jarring cuts, where he reads a few words at another time and it is inserted later. It could have been an awesome audiobook but for this.

Great book with mediocre narration

Great story and an excellent reading. Highly recommended. Thoroughly enjoyable in every way. Definitely 5*****

Great Story.

I bought this version by mistake thinking I had lost my beloved Phyllida Nash version, and at first suffered from something of a culture shock on hearing such a different voice. But I was interested to hear a fresh interpretation and gradually found there were still plenty of laughs. I gained a whole new insight into Kitty's powers of emotional blackmail!

loved this audible book. Will be one of my favourite listens. Captured Georgette Heyers humour to a tee

The orator was brilliant

Great narration, reminded me a bit of comedian Tom Allen. Every line Freddy has cracks me up with his excessive slang. one of the funniest Heyer ones I've bought. Fairly standard story/plot but worth it for the laughs.

hilarious

Although the plot was quite convoluted it was a great story. One of my favourite Georgette Heyer regency novels. The narration was particularly good with each character easy to identify. I shall definitely look out for more audio books narrated by Raj Ghatak
