    About this audiobook

    The rules of love and marriage in Regency England are strict, and entire futures can hinge on the events of a few seconds. Margaret and Julia are sisters in a family struggling to keep its place in the gentry, and one is engaged to a man the other loves. As the needs of their hearts play out against relentless social pressures, another young man’s life hangs in the balance. Is self-determination even possible in the marital marketplace of the era? And will all four of them manage to find a second chance?

    Iris Forester

    Iris Forester is never happier than when she’s tossed everything aside to follow one of the story threads that cross her path. She shares her home place with eagles, ravens and owls — but also makes time every year to spend in New York City. When she’s not writing, Iris works with paint, clay, and various difficult creatures.

    • 4/5
      Nice short read, the things people get up to and how society unfairly prejudiced women back then. Respect to the rebels of those days. Thankfully the sister knew how to play the game and it turned out well.
    • 1/5
      This writer is not for me.




    • 4/5
      Cute sweet and short. One of those books where everyone gets what they want worth the read
    • 4/5
      The story was short but sweet. The character development was adequate. I would have loved for this story to be longer and have a bit more substance. But as far as short stories go it was well written and enjoyable. The narrator lacks inflection and change in tone. But she did attempt to use different voices for different characters. The narration was not a performance; it was a reading. That said the story was so intriguing that the lack of interest gained by the narrators efforts had little to no effect on the enjoyment of this short story.
    • 5/5
      Sweet, light read with a happy ending for all concerned
    • 5/5
      It’s wonderful story. I enjoy the readers voice as well.
    • 5/5
      I started to give this book 4 stars because it was not long enough. I really enjoyed the regency story. More please
