If you love Bridgerton, you'll love Georgette Heyer!

The charming Sophia Stanton-Lacy is a force to be reckoned with.

When Sophy is sent to stay with her London relatives, she finds her cousins in quite the tangle.

Cecilia is besotted with an attractive but feather-brained poet, Hubert has fallen foul of a money-lender and the ruthlessly handsome Charles is engaged to a pedantic bluestocking who seems to bring out the worst in him....

Fortunately, Sophy has arrived just in time to sort them all out - but Charles is eager to rid his family of her meddlesome ways. Has the grand Sophy finally met her match?

Critic reviews

"A rollicking good read that will be of particular joy to Bridgerton viewers...the permanent glister of scandal [...] ties the whole thing together." (Independent)

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

"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes. Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)

Charming Characters • Witty Dialogue • Enjoyable Plot • Strong Protagonist • Delightful Comedy • Perfect Voice Acting

A heroine overflowing with both sense and sensibility uses her skills with intelligence and bravado. There is not one circumstance she is not up to meeting ,nor does she once wait upon a man for either advice or rescue. A delightful romp of a romance and the narrator was spot-on. So good, that I several times thought had I been reading the print I might have put the book down, thinking certain points too unbelievable, but the narrator really carried the right tone, and carried the characters individuality remarkabley well.

What Fun!!

The only point I found odd was the narrator’s insistence on pronouncing phaeton in the American style (FAY-eh-tun) rather than the English FAY-tun, even though the narrator uses an English accent throughout otherwise.

Fun and fluffy and mostly accurate

It's Georgette Heyer, and it's one of her best - so that's five stars right there. The narration was also five stars, which isn't always a given. I'll be listening to this one again.

Just wonderful
