About this listen
Miss Isabelle Stamford needs to escape the Ton. She’d never wanted to be part of high society to begin with and it certainly wasn’t worth dying for. Viciously attacked by Miss Weddington and left for dead, Isabelle knows that Charlotte, Lady Bruxton was behind it all because she fears that Isabelle will expose a very ugly secret. But Isabelle is informed that leaving the marriage mart is unheard of—at least until one has managed to snag a husband. With her choices limited to death or marriage, Isabelle sets her sights on the very man who rescued her from drowning—James Fitzsimmons, Lord Kenworth.
James isn’t precisely hunting for a fortune. But it certainly wouldn’t be remiss of him to find one. With estates that are failing and a family that excels at being helpless, Miss Stamford’s rather bold proposal isn’t one he can afford to simply walk away from. It doesn’t matter that he vowed never to fall in love. It doesn’t matter that just looking at her makes his palms sweat. It certainly doesn’t matter that all he wants to do is protect her, to keep her safe—and to kiss her senseless. He convinces himself that he can marry a woman who makes his blood sing and somehow keep both heart and soul intact.
With her life and his estates on the line, they make for Gretna Green and set the tongues of every London gossip wagging. But out of sight is not out of mind for Lady Bruxton. Her social cachet is not something she will risk, and whether she is in London or not, Isabelle knows too much to be permitted to live and with Miss Weddington locked away, Charlotte will have to take matters into her own hands…

Lady Evangeline Raine prefers animals to people and has no interest in marriage—much to the dismay of her flirty younger sister, Viola. Because their father has one rule: Viola may be courted, only if Effie has a suitor as well. Saddled with debt, Gage Croft, Duke of Vale, is determined to rebuild his estates. When the owner of his vowels offers him a fortune to charm the impervious Lady Evangeline for the season so Lady Viola can be courted, the game is on, even if it means pretending to seduce an unconventional wallflower.

Isabelle and James … Yes, yes, YES!!!
When James, Lord Kenworth, finds Miss Isabelle Stamford floating in the pond at Lady Bruxton’s house party, only his swift intervention saves her from certain death! When nefarious Lady Bruxton attempts to use Lord Kenworth’s chivalrous save to ruin Isabelle … there really is ONLY one choice … and that is to arrange “The Scandalous Elopement”! Delightfully written, as only Chasity Bowlin can, this story had me from go … THIS is truly, regency romance done right! A plot with a bit of intrigue, a bit of suspense, and the perfect amount of edge of your seat action! A delightful heroine, a worthy hero, their banter holding the perfect amount of sass, and their romance growing at the perfect pace with delicious, perfectly placed, perfectly stated … “warmth” along the way! Additional characters consisting of delightful friends, annoying relatives, townsfolk, tradesmen, and the nefarious you want to run off the edge of a cliff! Everything combining perfectly and delightfully to create a truly “awe worthy” story! No shrinking violet, I absolutely fell in love with Isabelle, and James is her perfect compliment! I loved the way their relationship grew so naturally, and how open to exploring everything about a “mature” relationship Isabelle was! AND that dear listeners, is the end of the spoilers! Just trust our author! Listen and be prepared to fall in love with the characters, and this story! Brought truly alive by spectacular, emotional, perfectly timed, perfectly paced, natural and realistic narration, the characters will jump from your headphones as the scenes play out in your minds eye! This is an unbelievably spectacular five star across the board presentation. I absolutely loved every single second!
