Kitty Charing's life-changing inheritance comes with a catch.
Her eccentric and childless guardian, Mr. Penicuik, is leaving Kitty all of his vast fortune - but with one condition. She must marry one of his five grand-nephews. However, Kitty's clear favourite - the rakish Jack Westruther - doesn't appear at all interested in the arrangement. To make Jack jealous, Kitty impulsively convinces his cousin, the kind-hearted and chivalrous Freddy Standen, to enter into a pretend engagement.
But the more time she spends with Freddy, the more Kitty wonders whether Jack is the right choice after all....

Story
The story takes place in the 18th century, where fashion was very much a la mode, with silks, stains, and powdered wigs. Philip Jettan, a handsome and sturdy youth, is rejected by the lady of his dreams, Cleone Charteris, because he is not foppish enough. Encouraged by his uncle, Philip decides to go to Paris in order to learn the ways of a stylish gentleman. On his return, however, Philip wonders whether Cleone prefers him as he is - or as he was. Cleone in her turn, wonders whether Philip has really changed or whether he is putting on a front.

One of my favorite GH novels
I am an avid and particular Audible listener. The narration was ok but I’ve heard better. But the story which I’ve loved for years made it tolerable.

Cute Hero/Heroine. Great performance!
Freddy makes a refreshing and unexpected hero. I thought Ghatak did a great job of all the different accents/genders.

My Favorite Georgette Heyer Book
A fun, lighthearted story. The narration isn’t bad, I think the narrator took great pains to be authentic when it came to Freddy being a pink of the ton, but not always easy on the ears. This story is my all time favorite of Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances, and then The Masqueraders and The Grand Sophy. Kitty is a good heroine, but Freddy is my favorite character.

Great story; poor narration
The narrator’s voice of Kitty was especially terrible. It turned a young, naive, sweet girl into a blase jaded woman with a speaking disability.
Georgette Heyer rules!

Regency Bertie Wooster
Georgette here discovers the ancestors of Bertie and his pals at the Drones Club. A delightful look at unexpected love. The performance underplays comic possibilities (reading the text, most all the characters will seem funnier). Political correctness seriously undercuts one of the subplots: Heyer clearly meant a young earl to be mentally challenged but the narrator is content merely to give him a North Country accent. This would offend my daughter’s Yorkshire in-laws!

Light and Amusing
This is a fun story with some great characters and amusing plot lines. I thought the narrator did a good job with most of the characters - though I didn’t love all the accents.
