About this listen

Lord Percy Nibley needs a wife, preferably before his mother’s nagging on the subject drives him to distraction. But being more comfortable with his rock collection than flirting, he’s not having a lot of luck.

In desperation, the shy nobleman enlists the help of Baron Marchmain - Lord August Bright. August is nothing short of dazzling. Charming, witty and amusing, he’s the darling of the ton, and a notorious heart-breaker.

August selects a suitable young lady for Lord Nibley; Miss Patience Pearson, a cool, level-headed woman, close to being on the shelf and with the reputation of a blue-stocking, meanwhile setting his own sights on capturing the heart of her vivacious younger sister, Caroline.

But Patience is not easily charmed, guarding her sister with the tenacity of a lioness and August must be at his most devastatingly charming to get past her defences.

Having finally done so, however...August isn’t at all sure he’s chosen the right sister.

An enjoyable addition to the series ❤

I rather enjoyed this book. August who is portrayed a fake and libertine but as you come to understand him and see him grow as he falls in love with Patience. Well its, rather beautiful to listen too. Again I was able to relate to some of what August went through.

I am glad Lord Percy Nibbley got has HEA too. Though I wished we had seen a bit more of though relationship but alas we didn't.

The reintroduction to Ben Lancaster from book 5 was a happy surprise and I look forward to his book.

My only let down was that I wanted more information about former couples and how their lives we're going. I can only hope we will see them again in the future.

Philip Battley did a great job with the narration.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
