Summary

Can two passionate people stop fighting long enough to admit their love for each other?

After spirited Lady Sybilla Calverton discovers her husband , the Earl of Ramsbury, in an embrace with the notorious Lady Fanny Mandeville, she returns to her father’s home in Bath determined to match the wayward Ramsbury scandal for scandal. When the Earl learns that his wife has stirred gossip by being seen too often with elegant collector Sidney St. Denis, he hastens to Bath to see if the gossip is true - and to reinsert himself into Sybilla’s affairs. Quarrels immediately reignite between them - and so does their passion. But are their strong wills the only threat to their love, or is someone deliberately trying to destroy their tempestuous marriage?

The Bath Quadrille is the first book of the Bath Trilogy, which also includes The Bath Charade and The Bath Eccentric’s Son.

Awful American narrator for Regency romance - why?

The story seemed a collection of clichés but could have been enjoyable if it hadn't been ruined by the narration. It is absurd to get an American to read a Regency romance, rather than upper class English the characters' accents veered from Irish to Yorkshire with endless slips into American accent. They mispronounced English towns, titles, foods, hairstyles, etc. and it was profoundly irritating to find several of these errors per minute of narration. No one in Jane Austen would have called a Duke a "dook" or talked of young women being 'sedoosed'; 'plait' rhymes with 'fat' not 'fate' and Reading should not sound like something you do with a book... But the list is endless. The narrator spoke with unusual slowness, no doubt imagining it gave her characters gravitas and British pomposity, but it merely stressed her errors. I won't bother to listen to any other books with this narrator and will check other audiobooks by the author carefully to avoid similar inappropriate narration.

Narrator dreadful

Couldn't finish the audiobook. Narrator completely spoiled it for me. Thankfully it was in the plus catalogue and I hadn't wasted a purchase.
