About this listen
A governess in jeopardy...and the marquis' son who goes undercover as a housemaid to protect her.
Lord Octavius Pryor leads a carefree and untroubled life, until the night he visits Vauxhall Gardens in the guise of a woman.
At Vauxhall, Octavius discovers that being a female is very different from being a man. Annoyingly different, unpleasantly different, and - when he encounters the lecherous Baron Rumpole - dangerously different.
Determined to teach the baron a lesson, Octavius infiltrates Rumpole's household, where he meets the woman of his dreams: Miss Toogood, governess to the baron's daughters.
Suddenly Octavius has three pressing tasks:
- To teach the baron to keep his yardstick in his breeches.
- To keep Miss Toogood safe.
- To convince her to marry him.
A word of caution: This novel is a bodice ripper, and I mean that quite literally. Bodices are ripped in this book - and not in a playful or sexy way. However, I promise you that all rippers of bodices receive their just desserts.

Fantasy and imagination in extreme
Definitely not a book I would recommend. But if you like to have your imagination stretched as far as it’s possible then you’ll enjoy it. I did not.

sometimes tedious
Unfortunately, I found this story tedious. The men come across too childish and there is not really enough content. An interesting idea about a man being a woman and admirable that he was trying to stop rape but found myself bored and it was a struggle to finish the book despite Rosayn Landor's excellent narration. Had to skip some chapters as they seemed pointless.
