Historical Romance
Never Borrow A Baronet
Fortune's Brides book 2
by Regina Scott
-From Goodreads- After caring for a crotchety countess, Patience Ramsey wants a more purposeful position. So, when Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency offers her the post of assistant to amateur apothecary Augusta Orwell, Patience jumps at the chance. Then her new employer introduces her at an Easter house party as the bride-to-be of her nephew Sir Harold Orwell. Miss Thorn’s cat Fortune may approve of Sir Harry, but Patience has no interest in borrowing the handsome baronet. She’s had her heart trampled on by false promises before. Sir Harry has enough on his hands trying to restore the family name while spying for the English against the French. But the pretty Patience could cover for him when he must ply his trade during the house party, so he convinces her to agree to the charade. As Harry’s work brings danger closer, he begins to realize Patience embodies everything he could want in a wife. Can he convince her to overlook the scandals surrounding him and exchange their false engagement for a true love? This sweet, clean Regency romance is the sequel to Never Doubt a Duke. Fortune’s Brides: Only a matchmaking cat can hunt true love. ASIN: B0842597ZN Will they both get more than they bargained for...? I think this book had me at the title. For whatever reason it really tickled my fancy. I've enjoyed several of Regina Scott's historical romances, with settings in later eras, so other than knowing it was a Regency Era story I wanted to read/listen to Never Borrow A Baronet because of the author alone. I wasn't disappointed. | This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating. |
While I haven't read book one in the Fortune's Brides series I can say that I was able to enjoy Never Borrow A Baronet without a problem as it is fairly standalone. Though, I now know that I'll snag any chance I get at reading the other books in Regina Scott's series.
I did listen to the audiobook version of this book. The production was well done, the audio itself was good quality, and I have to say that the narrator's accent was perfectly charming and totally fit the story. I felt that the production and sound quality, as well as the talents of the narrator, did complete justice to this fun Regency romance.
