To save her family from financial ruin, Miss Poppy Garrison accepts an unusual proposition to participate in the New York social season in exchange for her grandmother settling a family loan that has unexpectedly come due. Ill equipped to handle the intricacies of mingling within the New York Four Hundred, Poppy becomes embroiled in one hilarious fiasco after another, doomed to suffer a grand societal failure instead of being deemed the diamond of the first water her grandmother longs for her to become.

Reginald Blackburn, second son of a duke, has been forced to travel to America to help his cousin, Charles Wynn, Earl of Lonsdale, find an American heiress to wed in order to shore up his family estate that is in desperate need of funds. Reginald himself has no interest in finding an heiress to marry, but when Poppy's grandmother asks him to give etiquette lessons to Poppy, he swiftly discovers he may be in for much more than he bargained for.

I really enjoy Jen Terano’s books but I have to say this narrator wasn’t my favorite. Not sure I will listen to any further books if this is the narrator.

A good book, but not crazy about the Narrator!

For the most part, I enjoyed Diamond in the Rough. The story had good pacing and Turano’s typical humor.

I had two complaints though. First, I was disturbed with how the mental health issue was portrayed. This is likely because I am sensitive about media portrayals of people with mental health problems as dangerous. Second, some of the plot twists have appeared in other books by Jen Turano and I felt like the creativity in this book was not up to her normal standard. That said, I would still recommend this book.

Overall enjoyable read

Loved Jen Turano’s writing of this tale of Poppy and her acquired friends, grandparents & nobility as she drives to fulfill her grandmother’s goal of being a Diamond of the First Water.

Narrator did a great job keeping all the voices straight... and trying to affect a British accent .

I’ll enjoy listening to this book again!

Delightful mishap of a tale

What a fun listen! Although I had already read this novel, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this humorous story again. With a clear voice and good pacing, Andrea Emmes did the narration. She did a good job using different character voices. This story is filled with wonderful characters and it was fun to revisit. I especially enjoyed all the laughs. I was given a copy of this audiobook. All opinions are my own.

Second "read" just as good as the first!
