Annis Wychwood delights in her independence.

Beautiful, rich and far too busy for love, she has turned down the advances of many a hopeful suitor.

But when she becomes entangled in the affairs of a runaway heiress, she encounters the girl's guardian, the notorious Oliver Carleton. While Oliver may be a reckless and uncivil rogue, Annis can't help but be drawn towards his wild ways.

Critic reviews

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austens'." (Joanne Harris)

"Rapturously romantic." (Katie Fforde)

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)

Relaxing Amusement • Wonderful Writing • Excellent Narrator • Enjoyable Love Story • Delightful Performance

The reader was not able to perform the male voices well at all, and particularly failed with Mr. Carleton and Ninian Elmore. She also made a couple of mistakes. For example, she misread "oars" as "ears."

Lively, enjoyable characters - not the usual

Still worth the read. Performance a bit too abrupt and jerky for me. Made it harder to follow the continuity of the storyline. Very different from other Audible Heyer recordings.

Not my favorite Heyer

the voice reading on this is absolutely perfect, expressive, sensitive to the subtle tones in the text, just absolutely beyond amazing. My favorite narrator, with a perfect understanding of the magnificent Georgette Heyer.

Love this book but BEST reading

Georgette Heyer has long been a favorite of mine. I've been reading and rereading her books for over 40 years. I'm so pleased to find her on Audible. Her work is light and witty. I thought the narrator did a fine job. Can't wait to listen to more Heyer work!

Wonderful!

Katherine Press has really brought Heyer's wonderful writing to life. will look for more Press narrated books for sure.

Love Heyer, well narrated

Late, especially last works are often revered for ripened mastery. This is not the case with Georgette, who is said to have rushed out her final work for ready cash. But I like this love story. It’s in her “Beauty and the Beast” mode, like the well-loved Venetia. A no longer young beauty too intelligent to have married meets a rake too intelligent to pass her up. Wit tinged with wistfulness, like Shakespeare’s Tempest. Hope Georgette enjoyed a last fling.

Fine Wine

I love georgette heyer, but this isn't one of my favorites of hers. it's fine, but I think maybe it's because the plot is a little boring.

not one of her best

Narrator completely ruined a serviceable book. I look to Heyer for a relaxing, amusing romp. This stilted and monotone narration ruins the book.

Horrible narration..

Sadly the narrator didn’t not read with enthusiasm nor did she give significantly different voices to the characters. Can’t tell if the polos just dull too or if it’s the narration but it’s the first DNF for Heyer from me.

Narrator sounds bored and monotone
