A Regrettable Proposal

Narrated by Annadee Morgan

Eleanor Daventry’s inheritance promises an end to her problems—until she discovers that she must marry to keep it. Meanwhile, Stratford Tunstall learns that his uncle willed his lands to Miss Daventry. To Stratford, it’s only logical that they should marry, but he botches the proposal, and badly. Disgusted, Eleanor is certain they could never love each other, but being thrown together for a season in London threatens to change both their minds.

Reviews for A Regrettable Proposal

[Elizabeth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Beautiful, but quite long and felt some things were dragged a bit too much.

[Berly · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I know that I'd listened to this book before, but that was before I'd kept track of books or left reviews. Honestly, I couldn't remember much about the book, right up to the end! I'm terrible about remembering plots and stories!

The author kindly gifted me a copy of the audiobook and I decided I'd listen again. I really enjoyed it! There were romance and intrigue in the story.

This begins a series of "proposal" books. I am looking forward to revisiting those stories as well. Now that I've been reintroduced to the characters, I want to remember what happens to each of them.

The narrator for this book is exceptional! She does great character voices and has a very pleasing manor to her reading.

[Sam Ashish · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Decent read, a little long winded but got there in the end. They all lived happily ever after.
