When Sylvester, the Duke of Salford, first meets Phoebe Marlow, he finds her dull and insipid. She finds him insufferably arrogant. But when a series of unforeseen events leads them to be stranded together in a lonely country inn, they are both forced to reassess their hastily formed opinions, and begin a new-found liking and respect for each other. Sylvester calls to mind the satirical genius of a Jane Austen novel and is adored for its wit and a fast-paced plot that ranges across a myriad of settings.

Richard Armitage turns in a stellar performance of the lovelorn and hasty hero of Heyer's Regency romance. Even better, Armitage creates wonderful voices for the female characters--from the stern society matrons to the giddy debutantes. Armitage moves the narrative along at a breezy, gossipy pace that is perfectly suited to the novel's action and scene descriptions. Sylvester, the Duke of Salford, must find just the right bride for his aristocratic station. Phoebe Marlow seems an unlikely candidate, and she doesn't care for him either--until circumstances bring them together in an unexpected way. The charm of Heyer's characters and Armitage's skillful performance will have the listener longing for more. R.F. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
