An Improper Scheme

Improper Agreements, Book 3

By: Audra Wells

Narrated by: Elizabeth Knowelden, Benjamin Crow

Sleep. Something Henry longs for yet cannot seem to attain.

It had never been the case before, but since his younger sister, Louisa, has been out in society, he is plagued by nightmares of failure. And to top it all off, an old acquaintance has asked for his assistance in watching out for another young lady during her first season. He should say no. But his good nature will not allow it.

Soon after arriving in town, Violet discovers that her brother-in-law has arranged for another man to keep an eye on her. Though initially embarrassed by the revelation, when Violet sees how much Lord Wood does for others, and not for himself, she decides to help him instead. A rumor or two could aid the cause in his search for a lady. Only Lord Wood does not know of her secret scheme, and would likely not approve of her methods if he did.

But what happens when they gain feelings for the one they are supposed to be helping?

An Improper Scheme is a clean Regency romance and the third in Audra Wells' Improper Agreements series. It can be listened to as a stand-alone, but it is best enjoyed in order.

Adorable!!

Another totally sweet story 🥰
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series! Great characters! Lots of fun but also has depth in the story line🙂
Well done! Looking forward to the next story ♥️

Omg I loved this book!

Lord Wood was the PERFECT gentleman, probably my favorite MMC so far. His relationship with Violet was adorable. I love this author’s writing, and this is the 3rd of her books I’ve read in under a week. Elizabeth Knowlden’s performance always delights, so no surprises there.

Hilarious!

Such a great book! This one is hilarious. The scheming, the chaise debacle, the wild tales - so incredibly funny!! 😂

Henry is selfless to a fault, always helping others to the neglect of himself. He suffers from prolonged, stress-induced insomnia and his sleep deprivation has made him barely functional. Despite being already overburdened, he agrees to watch over his friend’s sister-in-law during the season, the lovely and vivacious Violet. Violet and his sister quickly become best friends and decide they should “help” Henry in finding a wife. The wild scheming begins, followed by flirting debutantes, unexpected chaos, and a great deal of laughter (the reader’s, of course, not Henry’s).

I admit, I found the ending conflict unnecessarily intense and drawn out, but the rest of the book was perfect and the HPE eventually came, so I’m going to let it slide.

Highly recommended to regency rom-com fans, and the audiobook is exceptionally well done as well.
