Gossip, scandal and an unforgettable Regency romance

By: Georgette Heyer

Narrated by: Raj Ghatak

Brought to you by Penguin.

Kitty Charing's life-changing inheritance comes with a catch.

Her eccentric and childless guardian, Mr. Penicuik, is leaving Kitty all of his vast fortune - but with one condition. She must marry one of his five grand-nephews. However, Kitty's clear favourite - the rakish Jack Westruther - doesn't appear at all interested in the arrangement. To make Jack jealous, Kitty impulsively convinces his cousin, the kind-hearted and chivalrous Freddy Standen, to enter into a pretend engagement.

But the more time she spends with Freddy, the more Kitty wonders whether Jack is the right choice after all....

Critic reviews

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's'." (Joanne Harris)

"Fabulously witty." (Stephen Fry)

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)'

Hilarious story made even better by talented narrator

The narrator’s performance made this story so much better. His interpretation of Dolf, Jack, and Freddie was so good, especially Dolf. Each time there were parts with Dolf I was laughing out loud. The final scene with Jack’s reactions at Hugh’s place to the people in the room was hilarious. I loved this story from start to finish. For me, Heyer’s books are much more fun as audiobooks as long as the narrator is talented. Raj is very talented.

Great narrator, funny and sweet

Funny and well-drawn characters. We know where the story is going and thoroughly enjoy the journey.

One of my favorite GH novels

I am an avid and particular Audible listener. The narration was ok but I’ve heard better. But the story which I’ve loved for years made it tolerable.

Cute Hero/Heroine. Great performance!

Freddy makes a refreshing and unexpected hero. I thought Ghatak did a great job of all the different accents/genders.

First n, like Bridgestone
