About this listen

Two sisters vie for a notorious Marquess in this historical romance by bestselling author Marion Chesney

Must one sister suffer in poverty while the other lives in the lap of luxury? This question plagued Harriet Clifton incessantly. Inviting herself to her widowed sister Cordelia's posh London townhouse for the season was surely the only way to meet a suitable partner - as well as escape drafty old Pringle House forever.

The vain Cordelia was meanwhile casting her net for the notorious Marquess of Arden, a man who would rather court a mistress than wed a wife.

Who would have believed that the Marquess would succumb to Harriet's countrified charms? - or that Cordelia would stoop quite so low as to try to conquer the Marquess at her own sister's expense?

this was a good one. female lead was spunky. Male lead was mostly honorable. there were some good hijinks without too much frustration. the only thing i didn't like was that i didn't see any reason for cordelia to be a villain. what was her motivation? that part didn't make sense.

a good one

A light listen with no real content. A bit of fluff to listen to after a long day. Lindy Nettleton narrates this well. The story was totally unrealistic but that is not why I listened to this type of fiction.

A light listen when you need a distraction

All of the usual Marion Chesney romance elements - sweet girl, pretty but in an unfashionable way and poor, meets rich rakish aristocrat. Everyone is against them, but they still manage to fall in love. This one is different, however, because it has the addition of three of the best and most hilarious ending twists, ever!

Best ending ever!

So much better than I expected. Though admittedly predictable, the twists and turns of the tale were skillfully crafted and the characters were masterfully created. The touches of comic relief were almost laugh out loud funny and perfectly placed. I have read a number of Beaton’s romances and this was by far the best to date.

Absolutely loved it!

Not a gripping tale, but very amusing and silly.
The story is very retro, and puts the aristocracy in a comical, but not unlikeable, light.

Amusing

I always enjoy M C Beaton books because they are full of interesting characters and twists and turns in the story line that you wouldn’t expect. She keeps her books moving along. The narrator is also very good.

Another light and enjoyable romance!

I very much enjoyed this story. I do think that the actions toward the end of the character Bertram are a bit too extreme, as well as inconsistent with his previous actions (such as what he does to the vicarage and his wife). Both his and the main male character’s thoughts and actions seem a bit inconsistent at times. However, those if the two sisters are more consistent. Harriet is definitely a heroine to cheer for (please excuse the dangling participle!). Overall, it is a fun story with a HEA ending.

Enjoyable romp

Once again I was delighted by another M.C. Beaton book from the 1980's! These books have such interesting characters, great stories about each character, twists & turns in her books, and ALWAYS the great ending of a wonderful, hard-earned love story! I use these to take my mind off the calamity & horrible things going on in the world lately (2022)! Can only take so much of world news without getting depressed! These are nice, clean romances! Will make u laugh too. Highly Recommend!!

Another great M.C. Beaton!

I loved the narrator and the story. M C Newton either has you tongue planted firmly in your cheek or you are laughing out loud. Either way this story had romance ,laughter, wit and suspense -- loved it!

Hurrah!

This may well be considered a romance novel by some but for me it was a mosh posh of genres that was long and drawn out. The narrator was bad which added to the problematic plot, undefined plot, and poorly developed characters. I had to speed up the story to get through it. I will not read this author or narrator again.

Not a romance
