The Frost Fair

By: Elizabeth Mansfield

Narrated by: Billie Fulford-Brown

In this irresistible Regency romance by award-winning author Elizabeth Mansfield, a stubbornly single noblewoman has five months to find a husband - or become instantly penniless.

Time is running out for 25-year-old Lady Margaret Underwood. Desperate to retain the independence that her considerable fortune affords her, she accepts the proposal of Viscount Charles Isham. But after a few hours in his stultifying company, she does what any woman would do: She flees. A snowstorm and a carriage mishap lead to rescue by a seductive stranger.

Soon Meg is ensconced in the Yorkshire estate of Sir Geoffrey Carrier, a soldier harboring a painful secret. And there's more stormy weather ahead for a man sworn to remain single and a woman who refuses to be married off as they discover the perils and pleasures of falling in love.

Pride and prejudice...

...with a primary female character reminiscent of Scarlett O'Hara and a "still-water-runs-deep" male. Don't expect the Frost Fair till the end, but it is fun.

..

heroine is weak and unlikable and Meg and the aunt are given ridiculous insipid voices .. the action lags the characters are petty . Alas
