A Lady's Fortune

By: Jane Dunn

Narrated by: Jenny Funnell

The BRAND NEW Regency Romance from Sunday Times Bestseller Jane Dunn.

‘Gives all the immersive pleasure of Georgette Heyer’s brilliantly confected Regency novels, in a sublime alternative world of joy. Bridgerton look out!' Melanie Reid, The Times

In Regency England, twenty-seven-year-old Leonora Appleby is considered by many – herself included – to be beyond her most eligible marrying years. With her childhood home, Hasterleigh Manor, soon to be taken over by the heir to the land, George Lockwood, Leonora has happily resigned herself to a quiet life as a country Miss.

But life has a way of springing surprises and the return of the brooding war hero Earl Rokeby, presumed dead on the French battlefields, to the magnificent neighbouring Rokeby Abbey has the village atwitter with speculation. Earl Rokeby has returned, scarred in mind and body, with news for Leonora’s best friend Charlotte Blythe – news that will change everything.

Now Charlotte and Leonora must travel to Town for the Season and take their futures and fate into their own hands in the whirl of balls, parties and gossip. But will either of them return to Hasterleigh with a husband and a fortune, and what other secrets does the devastatingly dashing Alistair Rokeby have up his silken sleeves…

Sunday Times bestselling author Jane Dunn brings the Regency period irresistibly to life. Perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Janice Hadlow, Gill Hornby, and anyone with a Bridgerton-shaped hole in their lives.

Great Narration of Mediocre Story

I was looking forward to another story from author of The Marriage Season, but was disappointed. This story was disjointed, hurried, filled with exasperating and/or unbelievable moments. Was this meant to be a spoof? Unfortunately, I don’t believe it was and, as such, fell sadly short of expectation. The narrator was very good.

Absolutely wonderful!

Thank you, Jane Dunn for this Heyer-esque book. I won’t spoil it for people, but I do want to say it’s worth the listening and the reading. Well done.
