Rowena Cherwood did not go around boasting of it, but she had a tidy legacy from her parents. Free to choose the life she wanted, and unwilling to live with her overbearing aunt, she accepted a position as Lady Bradwell's companion.

A spinster of twenty-seven, Rowena gave little thought to marriage - until Lyn Bradwell, Lady Bradwell's long absent son, returned to England. Love was the last thing on Rowena's mind - or Lyn's. But Lady Bradwell, impatient for her companion's happiness and her son's, wondered how long it would be before her companion and her son would open their eyes.

Editorial reviews

The Heiress Companion is a down-to-earth society romance, narrated in a refined British lilt by Ione Butler, that deftly describes three interwoven love stories between Lords and Ladies and lonely spinsters and handsomely men who may or may not be available.

Like all good society stories, there is plenty of pining, passion, subtle sideways glances, misunderstandings, resolutions, and the capturing of the ever-elusive love that these characters seek.

The Heiress Companion is an easy and entertaining fantasy that would perhaps sound great while relaxing at the beach or enjoying the serenity of a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Very charming story. The narrator did fairly well with the voices and her pace of reading, BUT there were numerous mispronunciations -even some varying mispronunciations of the same words, that proved quite distracting.

Great Story but Iffy Narration

A great escape into the past where simply getting married was a noble woman’s goal. Nice summer reading.

Lovely yet predictable

I like period stories and this one was better than many I’ve read.
This narrator was fine with some good voices for different characters.
I have read the reviews of other Madeleine Robbins’ books and was surprised at the number of people who liked the stories but found the narrators poor.
I wonder why the author uses so many different people to voice her novels? Too bad she hasn’t used Ione Butler on more of her audios.
For audio books, narrators usually
make the success or failure of the story.
Ms Robins writes an interesting romance without pages of gratuitous sex.
I may try to read the books, in another format, where your reviewers have found poor narration to to have ruined their listening experience.

Enjoyed this story; narrator good.

Very pleasant read in Georgette Heyer style. And all the more delightful for being so short.

Great performance, too.

I plan to revisit this book again and again whenever I am in need of some light cheering up.

Short and sweet.
