About this listen

Spoiler alert!

The criminally under-estimated Freddy Standen doesn’t rate his own intelligence very highly, but he certainly manages to deploy his common sense to excellent effect, plucking plans from thin air and smoothing Kitty’s path through society during their pretend engagement. But remember, he’s not kind-hearted! Oh no, heaven forbid, he’s been on the town for years!

Kitty, however, certainly has a generous heart and ensures that Camille and Olivia, and Dolph and Hannah, can all find love and happiness. Her faith in Freddy and realisation that storybook heroes aren’t all they’re cracked up to be is a delight to witness.

And then of course, there’s that extra something special about Cotillion, and it comes in the form of Lord Legerwood. The only man who could possibly supplant Freddy in our hearts.

“‘Obliged to take you home in a hack, Kit! Nothing for it!’

‘You are welcome to take me home in a wheelbarrow!’ She assured him.

‘Wouldn’t do at all!’ said Mr Standen decidedly, ’Sort of thing that would be bound to set people’s backs up. Besides, haven’t got a wheelbarrow!’

She gave a shaken laugh. ‘Oh, Freddy, how can you be so absurd, when you are so wise?’”

I echo the sentiments of another reviewer who said she was unexpectedly misty eyed at the end of the podcast series. The two ladies who host this podcast are delightful. They're easy to listen to, funny, and while they obviously respect and admire the writings of Georgette Heyer, they are able to see funny bits that didn't quite work, or things they wish would have been put in. I also like they referenced her other works and did some comparisons among the types of heroes and side characters in them. I would definitely listen to any podcast they put their minds to and sad to see this one over. 😢

Charming and Fun

I’m surprisingly rather emotional that this is the last of the episodes, I somehow thought there were more. I’m just going to have to start all over again. Believe me, if you’re a Heyer fan and love her stories as much as I and so many others do, you’ll know what I mean. These lovely, funny, ladies know these stories inside and out. They are so much fun to listen to and after every episode I wanted to reread the book they were talking about. I wish these woman all the best in their future adventures and joy and blessings in their families.

This has been such a joy!
