A Spinster's Folly

Courting the Unconventional, Book 2

By: Laura Beers

Narrated by: Kitty Kelly

She was determined to remain a spinster—until love gave her a new reason to dream.

Lady Eugenie Drayton is tired of being told what she can and cannot do. Bold, clever, and entirely too curious for Society’s liking, she decides to take matters into her own hands by sneaking into an Oxford lecture disguised as a man. But her plan is swiftly upended when she is discovered by none other than Charles Ellsworth, Earl of Bedford—a man far too proper, far too persistent, and far too memorable, especially after the kiss they once shared. Charles has spent the past few months trying to forget the infuriating and enchanting Lady Eugenie. He appreciates her desire to learn more than Society believes acceptable. But when he finds her where no lady should be, he’s forced to intervene. Reluctantly, they strike a bargain—one that forces them into close proximity and threatens the fragile walls around both their hearts. As their partnership teeters on the edge of scandal and something far more dangerous, Eugenie must decide if she truly desires a life of independence. . .or the kind of love that would change everything.

As the second novel in the Courting the Unconventional series by author Laura Beers, A Spinster's Folly continues the series. This is a light-hearted, clean and wholesome romance set in the Regency era. All books in this series have their own Happily-Ever-After and are best enjoyed in proper order.

independence and mystery

this story is all about independence and intrege. who is this person? why is this happening? a great read and lead into the next book. I can't wait until it comes.

Fun But…..Déjà Vu

As a standalone, this book was very enjoyable. As book 2 in the series, it was disappointing. A young woman who doesn’t care about her reputation and is determined to only marry for love; a young earl who doesn’t believe that love has any place in a marriage —— this was already done in the first book. It’s frustrating that we’re only 2 books in and the characters are basically just a repeat of each other.

Excellent story line and reader

Loved the story line it kept me guessing and of course the sweet romance. This is also one of the best performers! I love listening to her read.
