At eighteen, Emmeline Ballentine’s father splashed out on one London season to introduce his daughter to polite society. Sadly, for Emmeline, polite society was not terribly receptive to a city trader’s daughter.

She only ever caught one gentleman’s fancy, the dishonorable Jeremy Vance who made her head spin as he singled her out for attention at the balls and assemblies. Her worldly chaperone warned her he was making a May game of her, but Emmeline had not heeded her warning. Consequently, her dreams were dashed, when at the close of the season, Jeremy announced his engagement to another.

Ten years later, their paths cross again in Bath. Emmeline is older and wiser, and a good deal poorer, and Jeremy is divorced. There is absolutely no chance of him making a fool of her again with his shocking offer of marriage. Is there?

A Foolish Flirtation is a stand alone romance set in Victorian England. It is over 130,000 words long. Please do not purchase if you are offended by strong language and or sex scenes.

Alice Coldbreath writes the best marriage of convenience histroms, and now she just wrote the perfect second-chance histrom?! OMG! Pure catnipI LOVED JEREMY AND EMMELINE!!! Teddy, too! A Foolish Flirtation is now my favorite book by Alice Coldbreath. And it's also going on my list of favorite comfort books.
As for the narration, this is the first time I listened to an audiobook narrated by Abigail Langham. She has a sweet voice, and at first, I was skeptical if her voice would suit Jeremy. But the longer I listened, the more I appreciated it. I mean, Jeremy IS a sweetheart, after all.

Pure catnip

Amazing as usual

I love this author’s writing style and interesting stories. I was disappointed in them using a different narrator. She’s super breathy. I hated her voices for Pinky and Jeremy. I’m used to the narration from Carmen Rose (aka Heather Wilds) It’s difficult when you’re accustomed to hearing all of the previous stories by a certain person. Jeremy’s character was first introduced in the Bride For A Prizefighter’s story. Other than that it was great as usual.

Great Author

First, the narrator. She needs some getting used to, because she's undoubtedly a little too "breathy", but I found that I love her voices and how she made them all very different.
What can I say about the book? I'm a HUGE Alice Coldbreath's fan and I really loved how she redeemed Jeremy in my eyes. And she's also the only author who keeps me entertained through pages of decor choosing and walks and Greek mythology and household stuff! Angst and humor perfectly mixed, a real treat!

Great book!

I love Alice Coldbreath’s writing style! I always enjoy her books because they are more realistic. This one is a good twist on regency romance with a merchants daughter falling for a nobleman. Great narrator too!!

Loved it!

The light meshing of characters from previous books made this a familiar, comfortable read But one with its own penache and humor.
Very enjoyable.
Lovely Summer read.

I love how A.C. builds character arcs and takes her time to get you invested in each character and their inner turmoil and suppressed feelings. I just knew Jeremy's story would be a great one. I love how he really enjoyed watching her, being around her, talking with her, dancing with her, reading and discussing books with her and also how he included Pinky in everything. This was a truly sweet story ❤️

beautiful storyline

The book is fantastic, which is not surprising. The voice actress doesn't seem to have a large catalogue. She was absolutely wonderful, particularly with the voice of the young son Toby. This might be one of the best done audiobooks I have ever heard. I hope she gets more work because I would love to listen to more of her.

AMAZING voice acting

I didn't like the narration. I think if Carmen Rose was used it wouldn't have taken me so long to figure out who the characters were. The narration itself was odd. I would never listen to a book with that narrator again. It took away from the whole story.

I loved that it was a new series with familiar characters.
