A horse race in trousers on Rotten Row. Visiting a gaming hall in a dress that would make her mother faint. Sneaking an invitation to a masquerade ball attended by only the wickedest, most debauched members of society....

None of these things are scaring off bookish but strong-willed Amelia Bishop's stuffy, egotistical fiance.

The only thing left is to entice childhood friend Nicholas Wakefield into a truly engagement-ending scandal. The Wakefields are the height of propriety, and Nicholas's parents have made it clear a wife from the neighboring Bishop family would be unacceptable....

But Nicholas would give up his family and his fortune if Amelia would ever see him as more than just a childhood friend. He'll go along with her scheme, even if it means ruining them both, because he's got a plan that will change her mind about him being merely the boy next door.

Contains mature themes.

A little twist in a lifelong friendship provokes the romance in this story. With everyone calling everyone else by their first names and intermingling their titles it did get confusing in the beginning but soon things and people became unconfused and you could get on with the story. Delightful characters with personalities galore … each individual. Good narration, too.

A very nice listening experience.

I am a suckered forchildhood sweethearts so it didn't take much to snag my interest. It is a well written story that takes you through all the emotional ups and down. There were even moments I fleetingly wondered if they would get together. Thank goodness there is a HEA. Lots of drama, very funny dialog, and a few life & historical lessons to boot.

Romantic and funny

I am so happy I found this gem. The characters are perfect: Amelia is sweet, strong and honest; Nicholas is honorable,loyal and devoted. He is not the typical Alpha male in many HR novels; he is insecure, shy and unsure of himself. The only certainty in his life is his love for Amelia, he would do anything for her- even incur his family's wrath and displeasure. I absolutely loved this couple, they may be one of my favorites ever.

The plot is well defined and the other characters are just as well written. Esther Ware was a new narrator for me and she is absolutely perfect. I can't wait to listen to the second novel!

Impossibly Beautiful!

I enjoyed this start to finish. The female main is strong and yet still puts others before her. She definitely has some everywomen characteristics. The mains have been life long friends in the country and due to our FMC sister’s disability the family has been snubbed. Especially by the neighbors. Our hero is called home from gallivanting around to take care of a family issue. At this point the books feels like a downer with no way up but that’s why it’s the length it is. It needs all that time for our couple to make the journey from care takes to living for themselves. If you ever made that journey it’s a long lesson to learn. It’s beautiful written interwoven with humorous moments to balance out some of the FMC desperation and Pollyanna tendencies. She is strong even when putting others first . She knows her own mind and is adding to herself throughout the books.
It does however have a lot of modern themes. I never found them jarring so hard to pull me out they were like wrong notes easily forgiven.
I found the narrator to be one of the best.
It has more sex then I’m use to towards the end but everyone’s nice to everyone.

Completely Enjoyed!

I enjoyed this book because they were really funny as they talked with one another. Probably more current day talk versus what was happening in the 19th century, however, it made me giggle.

Funny repartee

Very sweet love story
