Publisher's summary

The tenth earl of Berham does not know what to do. An attractive thirty-two-year-old bachelor, he has been appointed guardian of the young Freddie Armstrong, the eighteen-year-old grandson of his late father's dear friend. That's bad enough. Then he discovers that the boy is really a girl!

It is against all convention and against his personal code to keep a young lady concealed in his own home. He must find a solution.

The earl's frequent visitor, Lady Clarissa Rennenord, heartily agrees - but for less noble reasons. Lady Clarissa hopes to snare the earl in marriage and does not want any competition. She recommends that Freddie be sent to a seminary. No one but Lady Rennenord knows what a horrid place it is - and no one, including Lady Rennenord, expects Freddie to escape. Now Freddie is back, and the earl finds her presence unsettling in more ways than one.

Love love love the romance

I love the romantic scenes in this book. But the hero saves the weakling girl happens 3 times in this book, that it's a bit too much coincidence. She's saved 2 more times by another woman. That's too much of being saved by other people. The heroine seems rather useless other than being mischievous. I'm not sure what the moral of the story is.

Fun, light entertainment!

This book was fun, light entertainment.
The narration was excellent. Marion Chesney's books are the type of stories that help me to reduce stress.
A pleasant listen with plenty of interesting plot twists to keep your attention.

Okay

Thjs story is slightly farcical and includes an evil suitor to the ward's lord, which is made obvious from the start. Not Beaton's best but worth a listen in the escape package.
