By: Regina Scott

Narrated by: Jannie Meisberger

After caring for a crotchety countess, Patience Ramsey wants a more purposeful position. So, when Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency offers her the post of assistant to amateur apothecary Augusta Orwell, Patience jumps at the chance.

Then, her new employer introduces her at an Easter house party as the bride-to-be of her nephew Sir Harold Orwell. Miss Thorn’s cat Fortune may approve of Sir Harry, but Patience has no interest in borrowing the handsome baronet. She’s had her heart trampled on by false promises before.

Sir Harry has enough on his hands trying to restore the family name while spying for the English against the French. But the pretty Patience could cover for him when he must ply his trade during the house party, so he convinces her to agree to the charade.

As Harry’s work brings danger closer, he begins to realize Patience embodies everything he could want in a wife. Can he convince her to overlook the scandals surrounding him and exchange their false engagement for a true love?

This sweet, clean regency romance is the sequel to Never Doubt a Duke. Fortune’s Brides: Only a matchmaking cat can hunt true love.

A Valentine to Romance

I finished story in one night. It is a love letter to Romance storytelling.

Fine, but...

For the price, this one is fine, but I didn't find it as engaging as the first one. And it's much slower. The characters get a little more interesting as it goes on. But I was somewhat disappointed in Lady Thorn. Her sharp, mysterious personality was missing. As others have stated, her causing all this intrigue over disappointment in a lover was overblown and a letdown.

Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

A fun historical romance with a bit of intrigue

Never Borrow a Baronet is a cute story about a companion who’s new position gets her embroiled in all sorts of intrigue. The story is fun with a sweet romance with just a little spice. The narrator does a very nice job with the audiobook.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Good story, Okay followup

So, as the 2nd story in the Fortune’s Bride series, I think it was a good story, but I couldn’t really connect to it as a follow up .

I really enjoyed Patience and Harry interaction but I think I wanted more interaction between the two. Sometimes each character would have other work/ people to entertain and it left limited time for their own interaction.

I also enjoyed more time spent with Miss Thorn and her cat Fortune and the situation going on with Julian that continues on from the first book. It was nice tohttp://AudioFreebies.com see how that situation was turning out.

Not going to lie, I hit a reading slump about 48% into it. I’m not sure if it started because it was a little slow during that time or because of current events or even a mixture of both. Luckily, the story picked back up and I was able to continue with it.

The situation near the end of the story, basically was kind of twist/ kind of slightly predictable. I think if the villain had slightly more interaction it would have been less predictable.


Overall, I would rate it 3 stars. It’s good, but I feel like some parts of it could be better.
