About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Beautiful heiress Judith Taverner has her pick of London suitors.
But her luck takes a turn for the worse when her hapless brother, Peregrine, becomes the target of a would-be-assassin.
To Judith's great annoyance, their mysterious guardian - the handsome Earl of Worth - seems far more intent on wooing her than saving her brother, but all is not as it seems....
When the truth is revealed, Judith will finally discover if the earl is after her money or her heart.

"Fabulously witty." (Stephen Fry)
"Once you step into her world, you won't look back." (Katie Fforde)

A joy throughout
A hugely enjoyable Regency romp from Georgette Heyer. This one really gave the true feeling of that era with superb descriptions of dress, manners, personages and locations. As with most of her books there was huge wit and humour.
The narration by Jasmine Blackborow was excellent with each character having their own quirks. It was a joy to listen to.

Brilliant narration
One of my favourite stories and narrations. Great male renderings by female voice especially Lord Worth.

Really excellent audio book
I've read this book a few times over the years and always liked it but never had it up amongst my favourites of Heyers... until now. The audio version really brought out the spice and the tension between Worth and Judith's interactions. I will definitely re-visit this again and again.

So much fun
A pleasure - romance, intrigue, humour - and superbly read by a lively and skilled actress who was clearly enjoying it too. Loved it. Uplifting!

Especially good
Witty, entertaining ,very well constructed, one of Heyer’s best. Narrated with style and verve. The hero’s ’voice and characterisation especially good. Highly recommended. The pronunciation of ‘phaeton’ didn’t worry me as I haven’t a clue as to the correct pronunciation!

Classic Heyer!
I enjoyed this rendition of “Regency Buck”. The narrator did a good job with the various character’s voices. I particularly liked her portrayal of the Earl’s voice which was quite masterful!
The only irritation was the mispronunciation of the word “phaeton” …. Which really marred the telling for me.

Much better narration than previous version
This narration is 100% better than the previous version I have from Audible. ( I did not know I could return that one until it was too late). Never listen to it other than to see if its as bad as I thought it was!
As this is one of my favourite GH books I have been waiting for a new version to come out. I agree with some other reviews that the narrator has got some of the pronunciations wrong, (phaeton being the worst) which is VERY annoying, but overall this copy is good.
The narrator has a good voice and tone and is easy to listen to.
This book was probably one of the first GH I read, and the banter between Worth and Judith all the way through is delightful and understandably annoying to Judith. But it gives the book a constant theme that's enjoyable to follow. And when Worth shows his true colours at the end its my: always looked for happy ending. It would get a 5 rating if she had not got the phaeton correct!
