About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Sylvester is read by Matt Addis, who appears in Doctors and Doctor Who.

Sylvester, Duke of Salford, is considering marriage.

Endowed with rank, wealth and elegance, Sylvester, Duke of Salford, posts into Wiltshire to discover if the Honorable Phoebe Marlow will meet his exacting requirements for a bride. If he does not expect to meet a tongue-tied stripling wanting both manners and conduct, then he is intrigued indeed when his visit causes Phoebe to flee her home. They meet again on the road to London, where her carriage has come to grief in the snow. Yet Phoebe, already caught in one imbroglio, now knows she soon could be well deep in another....

A typically wonderful historical novel, Sylvester shows once more why Georgette Heyer is the undisputed queen of the genre she created - the Regency romance.

Utterly delightful

Discovering Georgette Heyer has been a revelation, as I have previously not found regency romance to be a palatable genre. If you have not read Georgette Heyer and enjoy historical romance, I recommend remedying that immediately. Her stories are absolutely delicious, this one being my favourite so far. (I suggest goodreads for a deeper review of her books).
The narration was superb. The only thing that detracted from my listening experience was that the voice used for Sylvester occurred to me as a much older man, someone in his 50’s perhaps, while the character is meant to be 28. This strained the believability of the romance for me. Otherwise the narration was masterfully done.
