Georgette Heyer (read by Eve Matheson)
There is no one like him
This is one of those love stories that turns on a misunderstanding. The already rich and famous, though self-effacing Sir Waldo Hawkridge, The Nonesuch, has inherited a wreck of a mansion and has come to the country to inspect it. The love interest is the chaperone to a young termagant of an heiress. They meet, they get to know one another, he falls head over heels for the chaperone who slowly realizes she is in love with him. There is a misunderstanding just to spice things up and in the end they live happily ever after -- without the heiress, who is sent back to her guardian.
Folks, this is a four star Georgette Heyer -- delightful, enjoyable, fun to read, fun cast of characters thrown into all sorts of scrapes and folly.
