Sometimes the man of your dreams...is not who you think.
Shopgirl Poppy Fairchurch knows it's pointless fantasizing about the Duke of Autenberry. Still, dreams can't hurt anyone, unlike the carriage Poppy spies bearing down upon the unsuspecting duke. After she pulls him to safety, the duke lapses into a coma, and Poppy is mistaken for his fiancée. But one person isn't fooled: his arrogant and much too handsome half brother, Struan Mackenzie. Soon Poppy isn't sure what she wants more: the fantasy of her duke or the reality of one smoldering Scot who challenges her at every turn.
An illegitimate second son, Struan may have built an empire and established himself as one of the wealthiest men in Britain, but he knows he will always be an outsider among the ton. Just like he knows the infuriating Poppy is a liar. There's no way the haughty Duke of Autenberry would deign to wed a working-class girl. It doesn't matter how charming she is. Or tempting. Or how much Struan wants her for himself.

Struan: “Honest-“
Poppy: “Insufferable-“
Struan: “Irresistible-“
Poppy: “Oh!”
From start to finish, other than giving her a sister and changing this to regency, this is the 1995 movie While You Were Sleeping. But, that helped me give lying Poppy a chance. Normally, I hate schemers and con artists, no matter their allegedly good intentions. Both the movie’s Lucy and this book’s Poppy were charmingly earnest in their unrequited obsession with men they didn’t even know and stumbled adorably into an increasingly complicated farce, first based on lies of omission and then based on desperation.
The shorter book length and phenomenal narration helped too, along with the majority light tone.
Minor downsides for me included the not-cozy, but still on-the-tame-end get togethers, shamefully wasting Struan’s delicious Scottish accent (I could feel the smolder burning from my earbuds to my … toes … yes, going to stick with toes). The author laid the pity parties on rather thick: his pity party for growing up poor and a rejected by blow, and her pity party for being the poor and plain Jane older sister.
This was a frothy enough listen that I’ve wishlisted the next book in the series.
It too is on the shorter end, so I’ll wait patiently for a sale and hope for more popcorn romance.
Did stealing this from the 90s make it better?

I did not want to stop listening. At the end of each chapter I didn’t want to pause.
