About this listen

He wants a respectable bride who will not ask for more than he can give–love. She has no need or desire to marry, and love is the only thing that might change her mind.

Hugh Brandforth, the seventh Earl of Ormsley, returns to his estate after wasting several weeks searching for a bride. He is looking forward to some much-needed rest and recreation. All is not as he left it, however, and within the space of an hour, he finds himself berated by his old nurse, assaulted by an eccentric termagant, and subjected to the disrespect of her coachman.

Wishing to escape Bath and avoid the imminent proposal of a determined rake, Miss Cressida Harrington accepts Lady Ormsley’s offer of the dower house at Leighfield Park. A peaceful sojourn in the country is just what she needs. If Cressy did not expect to find the house in disarray and the garden a wilderness, these minor inconveniences do not have the power to disturb her. The unexpected presence of an earl she had no notion existed is quite another matter.

Secrets and scandal lurk behind the respectable façade of the house and grounds. Will they bring them together or drive them apart?

I do love a hero who is manly without being a bully and Ormsley fits the bill.

A clean and satisfying love story

A delightful book; Ms Hambly gets better and better. I do like an intelligent, spirited heroine and Lord Ormsley was utterly heavenly. Add a scheming evil woman to the mix, some kindly older relations and a loyal, well meaning friend and the whole thing was a joy from start to finish. Wonderfully narrated too. More please

Just lovely

Another enjoyable Regency Romance from Jenny Hambly. Well written and well narrated by Helen Taylor. No unnecessary bedroom scenes. Highly recommend to those who like Georgette Heyer.

Listener received this title free

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author. I had been saving Ormsley to read when I could really enjoy it when I was on holiday, it didn’t disappoint and as a result I started listening to the audiobook a day later.
It has been an absolute joy to listen to. I felt the narrator, Helen Taylor voiced the characters well and that in listening to the story I got more enjoyment from it as she read at a pace were I was actually taking more of the story in, rather then my bad habit of reading a book at breakneck speed.
Jenny Hambly’s books just seem to get better and better. Ormsley is definitely my favourite so far.
