The Perks of Loving a Wallflower

By: Erica Ridley

Narrated by: Moira Quirk

A clever, laugh-out-loud Regency romp full of mystery and romance.

"Erica Ridley is a delight!" —Julia Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series

As a master of disguise, Thomasina Wynchester can be a polite young lady—or a bawdy old man. She’ll do whatever it takes to solve the cases her family takes on. But when Tommy’s beautiful new client turns out to be the highborn lady she’s secretly smitten with, more than her mission is at stake ...

Bluestocking Miss Philippa York doesn’t believe in love. Her heart didn’t pitter-patter when she was betrothed to a duke, nor did it break when he married someone else. All Philippa desires is to decode a centuries-old manuscript to keep a modern-day villain from claiming credit for work that wasn’t his. She hates that she needs a man’s help to do it—so she’s delighted to discover the clever, charming baron at her side is in fact a woman.

But as she and Tommy grow closer and the stakes of their discovery higher, more than just their hearts are at risk.

Pleasantly enjoyable

I admit I wasn’t sure if this book would be my cup of tea. However, the amazingly animated tale, the complex and interesting characters, and the sweet love story exceeded all expectations. Definitely meet the Wild Wynchesters!

A Bluestocking Life

Philippa’s mother and father are determined that she will marry a titled man and bring them further into high society. Phlippa has no desire to marry a man and rejects all suitors. Then a most rakish Baron enters her life and society takes notice. A delicious romp through the eyes of a wallflower and her love, Tommy. Great narration.
