About this listen
A brand new series of joyous Regency Romance from the bestselling author!
When a dully dressed family arrive at Tremaine Towers, home of Cedric Marchmont, Earl of Tremaine, the other residents are shocked, thinking them some poor relations. The earl's family have been dubbed The Royals by his youngest sister Ophelia, for since unexpectedly becoming the family of an earl, they have been encouraged in every fashionable excess to fit their new position in society. Agatha, the countess, Charles the dandified brother, Ophelia and Queenie, the sisters, must hold themselves with new dignity, says the earl. There are two further brothers in Town, Eliot and Dorian, the latter a known rake.
Looking at their clothes and their behaviour, Ophelia soon dubs the new family from Scotland The Wild Marchmonts. The family comprises the widowed Lady Eleanor Marchmont, her son Richard, her four grown daughters, Roseanna, Phoebe, Naomi and Stephanie and two younger girls, Tabitha, 12, and Berthe, only 8.
As the Royals despise their dress and manners, the Wilds do not seem much disturbed. Unlike the Royals, the Wilds are an affectionate unit. It seems the two families will be forever separate in interests and understanding.
But when Eliot comes home and finds Naomi's journal, he learns more about the Wilds, and the diarist's wicked observations about his own family entice him to read on. But when he later finds out Naomi's thoughts on himself, Eliot's world is overturned. But he must not succumb to Naomi's charms for he has other plans.
However, Eliot's guilty pleasure is discovered, and the punishment doled out to him is such that his life will never be the same, and the wall between the families may begin to fall...
A romantic comedy of manners, with both sweet and witty moments., There is the promise of wonderful brew of clean romance, that has a true understanding of passion.

Excellent start to a new series
Another entertaining story from Alicia Cameron, one of the best current regency authors IMO. She creates a genuine regency atmosphere with no Americanisms. This is the start of a new series and I look forward to the next one. Excellently read by Helen Taylor who managed a very good Scottish accent!

Charming
The families are as different as day from night and yet most find happiness and even joy. Excellent narration.
