An Inconvenient Grand Tour

By: Lisa H. Catmull

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She’ll marry for duty and lie for honor—but her brother’s charming best friend might ruin everything.

Eleanor Barrington hovers on the edges of London’s glittering society, clinging to propriety while her reckless father threatens to expose the scandals they’ve kept buried. Her only hope is a sensible marriage—one that promises safety, not affection.

But Percy Hauxton has never followed the rules. As the younger son of an earl, he can't afford to marry for love—but that doesn’t stop him from charming Eleanor at every turn. And it certainly doesn’t stop her from noticing.

With her carefully constructed world hanging by a thread, Eleanor must choose between the duty she's always honored and the man who sees past her defenses. Can she protect her family without losing her heart?

A sweet historical romance with friends-to-lovers and enemies-to-lovers sparks, but no spice. Expect swoony kisses, emotional moments, and a guaranteed happily ever after. This story can be enjoyed as a standalone or as part of the Victorian Grand Tour series.

An Entertaining Story Spoiled by AI

This romance was entertaining, if a bit formulaic (suspiciously like Pride and Prejudice) but was so frequently off-putting by the inappropriate inflections used with the AI reader! Where is Juliette Stevenson when you need her?

Not your typical novel!

I loved this book! Enjoyed it immensely! The story line was great. Found myself laughing several times. Definitely recommend!

I'm loving this author! Great storyline!

I listened to this authors Unsuitable Engagement title and loved it so much i had to come take a listen to the first in the series. And this was just as great as the other! Full of all the things I love in a good book. Well developed characters, fun time period that I haven't found a lot of books based in, and a great plot. I felt like I was "watching" a very real relationship. No cheesy overtures, no underlying preaching, no raunchy moments, just truly good and truly clean. Bravo. Now I'm going to go listen to the others!
