About this listen

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that
a single man in possession of a good fortune
must be in want of… anything but a wife?

The third book in the Swell Valley series by bestselling author Tilly Bagshawe

Henry Saxton-Brae has it all – a titled, self-made millionaire,
his fiancée just happens to be a supermodel who is as kind and loyal as she is ravishingly beautiful. To top it all, he’s just bought Hanborough Castle, the jewel in the crown of the Swell Valley.

Life couldn’t be better… for someone who was ready to settle
down. Could he really be the only man in the world not in love
with his future wife?

Flora Fitzwilliam has been summoned by legendary
designer Graydon James to restore Hanborough to its former
glory. She soon discovers that it’s not just the house that
needs fixing, and Flora seems to be the only person who sees
the real Henry Saxton-Brae.

Between her boss’s waning talents and Henry’s roving eye,
Flora is being torn apart. Can she pull off the job, and make
Henry see that his bachelor days are behind him?

Not since Rupert Campbell-Black has there been such a devastatingly sexy man in jodhpurs!

This author is trying to be Jilly Cooper which is no bad thing as she's a great writer, but her leading male just doesn't have what Rupert Campbell Black does. I mean he is actually a nasty character with no redeeming points where Rupert is at least great with kids and the underdogs. I found myself not wanting him to get the girl as he didn't deserve her.

Annoyingly Selfish

I cannot wait to listen to more of the books Scarlett Macks narrates. Tilly Bagshaw outdid herself with the unpredictable book.

A refreshingly happy romantic book

great book

I have read all of the Swell Valley books by Tilly Bagshawe and loved them all, but, this one is my favourite. For me, the characters were more complete and rounded than in the previous books and the story itself flowed beautifully..
My only grouch is the narrator. The manner in which she reads some sentences makes them nonsensical in that she puts unnatural pauses in them. It’s as if she reads the start of the sentence as complete and then suddenly realises there’s a bit more to it..This makes the narration disjointed and irritating.
This aside, I would highly recommend these books as a good read about country life amongst the wealthy set much along the lines of Jilly Cooper..

The best of the series
