About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A Beloved Classic from the Queen of the Regency Romance
A fiery debutante. An ill-tempered bachelor. A romance for the ages.
Arabella, the daughter of an impoverished country parson, dreams of a new life in London. But her beauty and charm will only get her so far - and when Arabella embarks on her first London season armed with nothing but a benevolent godmother and her own notoriously short temper, she quickly runs afoul of Robert Beaumaris.
He's the most eligible bachelor of the day, with a personality as strong and combative as hers - and Arabella cannot abide him thinking of her as just another pretty girl after his wealth. So she allows herself to be provoked into a game of deception - one that could have unexpected consequences....
Arabella is a rich, dashing romance from Georgette Heyer, the legendary creator of the beloved Regency romance genre.

Arabella by Georgette Heyer.
My aunt had all of Georgette Heyer's novels on her bookshelf when I was 13 years old. I read all of them and 'Arabella' has always been one of my favourites. I have it on my own bookshelf and have read it many times. Nowadays, because of severe arthritis in my hands, I listen to books on Audible. Thank you for this excellent production and, especially, Gemma Whelan's reading of it with such clarity, warmth and understanding. Thank you Gemma. It was such a pleasure to listen.

Delightful story and wonderful narration
Thoroughly enjoyed this Georgette Heyer Classic narrated beautifully by Gemma Whelan. I’ve listened to it again and again and love it every time. Well narrated and you come to love Arabella and the kind Mr Beau Maris.

Sheer delight
What a cleverly written, delightful story. I have read quite a few in the past. I am now going to steadily work my way through listening to them all.

Delightful as expected!
Straight 10 hours and so of unadulterated pleasure. How we have forgotten the chaste and innocent magic of wooing and being wooed. Refreshing and amusing, she charms you with her characters.

Pure delight!
Arabella is one of my favourite books by Georgette Heyer and I’ve read it times without number. It is a feel good book that never fails to lift my spirits. Given how highly I rate it, I was excited when Audible made it available as an audiobook, but also nervous. Would the production do it justice? And the answer is a resounding YES! So do yourself a favour and listen to this book - you won’t be disappointed.
