Resumen del Editor
When the Marquis of Amberley's coach is waylaid by highwaymen and his coachman shot, he is forced to take shelter at the first house he finds and is subsequently trapped there for a week by a severe snowstorm.
Oakleigh Manor is the home of Rosalind Vernon who lives alone but for her devoted servants and an ill-natured parrot, cut off from the outside world by the tragic result of a childhood accident. But Rosalind is brave and bright and totally devoid of self-pity - and it is these qualities which, as the days pass and the snow continues to fall, touch Amberley's heart.
On his return to London, the Marquis persuades Rosalind's brother, Philip, to bring her to town for a taste of society, despite her handicap. But the course of Amberley's courtship is far from smooth. Philip Vernon actively dislikes him; Rosalind appears to be falling under the spell of the suavely elegant Duke of Rockliffe; and worse still, Amberley is haunted by a dark and terrible secret that, if revealed, may cause him to lose Rosalind forever.

An arrogant duke does the unthinkable - he falls in love with his mistress.... She raced onto the green, desperate to stop a duel. In the mêlée, Jocelyn Dudley, Duke of Tresham, was shot. To his astonishment, Tresham found himself hiring the servant as his nurse. Jane Ingleby was far too bold for her own good.

When he offered to set her up in his London town house, love was the last thing on his mind.

Reverend Augustus Shackleford's mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend's opinion they didn't possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness.

A True Gentleman
Any additional comments?
4.5 "A True Gentleman" Stars for the story and 5 Stars for Alex Wyndham's narration!
What a delightful treasure! The intricate plot, complex characters, threads of humor, touching romance and one of the best ever narrations make The Parfit Knight a true gem!
There are so many things that make this this book a special listen. But if I'd have to pick just one, I'd say what I loved the most was how the hero was able to look through the heroine's handicap (she is blind), to see the fully capable, desirable woman that lay underneath the over protected layers that her family (meaning well but burying her in the process) had unintentionally trapped the heroine in. Moreover, this hero, with his multiple, selfless actions with respect to a number of the characters (not just the heroine) definitely deserves the title of "The Parfit Knight." For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this term, a similar phrase was used by Chaucer in the General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales, where he described the knight as a "veray parfit gentil knight" which translates to a "very perfect gentle knight." No better words could ever describe the hero of this touching romance by Stella Riley.
A Parfit Knight takes place in 1774 in England. Rosalind Vernon was blinded in a childhood accident. She lives in Oakleigh Manor, pretty much by herself except for her servants, a rather foul-mouthed parrot, and the occasional visit of from her brother, Philip. Though Philip frequents London often, and Rosalind would be entitled to a large dowry virtually ensuring she would have many offers of marriage, Philip has never considered introducing Rosalind to society. Instead reasoning that, due to her blindness, Rosalind is better off in the country in a familiar "safe" environment. Of course Rosalind doesn't really seem to mind, until a chance meeting challenges her view of the future.
When The Marquis of Amberley's coach is ambushed by highwaymen on the countryside, he is left with no choice but to seek the help of the closest home to get aid for his coachman who has been shot. That is how he meets Rosalind and becomes her guest while his coachman recovers and they weather a heavy snowstorm. Over the days of their forced cohabitation, Amberley and Rosalind bond. Amberley seems to be the only man who has ever seen through Rosalind's apparent limitations to see the unlimited potential that lies underneath and challenges her to begin to experience life to her full potential. In his opinion, there is nothing that she can't do, and after a short time passes, it becomes clear to Amberley what he must do: convince Philip to allow Rosalind to be introduced to society.
However, much to Amberley's chagrin, Philip already has a less than favorable impression of him due to a previous unrelated encounter, and is less than happy to learn of Amberley's and Rosalind's acquaintance. Soon it becomes clear that there are a number of obstacles in the way of securing Rosalind's HEA, not the least of which is Philip's disdain for Amberley. As secrets begin to surface and other suitors start to show interest, the future hangs in the balance. Could it possibly include a HEA for Amberley and Rosalind?
I recently discovered the magic of Alex Wyndham's narrations in another historical romance, and he absolutely blew me away! Mr. Wyndham has a naturally appealing voice that is likely to keep you enthralled no matter what the subject matter. Since then he has been on my must-listens to narrators list, so I was thrilled to hear that he was narrating this tale. And as expected Mr. Wyndam delivered another fantastic performance in The Parfit Knight.
Mr. Wyndham is a master at creating distinguishable, personality specific voices for each one of the numerous characters which really brought the multitude of characters from The Parfit Knight to life for me. From the noble and yet compassionate voice of Amberley to the melodic and strong voice of Rosalind, I was equally pleased with both his male and female characterizations.
Additionally, Mr. Wyndham's close attention to the mood of the scene helps to frame each and every scene. Listening to Mr. Wyndham's rendition was simply magical, and I can't wait to listen to more of his works!
If you are a historical romance enthusiast, then I highly recommend The Parfit Knight. And now that my curiosity has been piqued, I can't wait to explore and enjoy more of Ms. Riley's delightful works!

I wish Audible had more of these
This romance is a bit unusual in the setting being Georgian (late 18th century) instead of Regency, and with a heroine who is blind. There is some humor and great relationships between female characters as well as of course the main romance. The narration is excellent.

Excellent romance with wonderful characters
A very good historical romance story with most likable heroine and hero. This author does an excellent job creating characters with depth. The author reminds me a great deal of Georgette Heyer. The romance is clean but sensual. The dialog is good and the parrot is an excellent additional touch. The performer is excellent.

Perfection! Down to the parrot!
If one is a fan of historical romance, Stella Riley is a must! Georgette Heyer would be very proud! Jane Austen would applaud! And, Alex Whyndham enhances a perfect tale! You will fall in complete love with: the story, the characters, the author, and the narrator, and of course the parrot! Enjoy!

Cute
It was very innocent but cute and adorable. It reminded me of Jane Austin. A little misunderstanding some questionable circumstances and the weather all made for some romantic chemistry

My First Stella Riley audiobook was amazing!!
This is my first Stella Riley novel and now I cannot wait to listen to the next one! I will admit that I had to look up the word Parfit and it describes The Marquis of Amberley to perfection, a chivalrous knight. He is an honorable gentleman who happens to be handsome, wealthy, charming and witty. Having been out of England for an extended time he must leave London and it's amusements to meet with his man of business to discharge his duties to his estates. On his way, his coach is waylaid by highwayman, his coachman is shot and must have medical care immediately. The first shelter they encounter is a manor house and are welcomed in and a doctor fetched for his coachman. Oh and it is snowing so hard that by the next day the roads with unpassable. When he meets the young lady who lives there with her servants he is stunned, she is the most beautiful woman he has ever encountered.
Rosalind Vernon has lived in isolation since she was injured in an accident when she is a child, that left her blind. She is now twenty-two and has never been away from her home. When she meets the Marquis she is beyond excited. She will finally have someone to talk to besides her dedicated servants. Her brother is almost always away from home and she is lonely.
When Dominic meets Rosalind he is enchanted by her. Due to the storm, he can't leave and he finds himself not wanting to. He doesn't see her blindness as a handicap and encourages her to do somethings she hasn't done since she lost her sight. He teaches her to dance, he takes her outside to enjoy the fresh air. He reads to her every night and they form a close friendship that is rapidly turning into something more.
When he discovers how she lost her sight he is horrified. Stunned by her revelation he knows that he must leave her and it is breaking his heart. Rosalind feels like she has not since she was a child. She looks forward to seeing Dominic every day and never thought that she would ever find love. Then he announces that he has to leave, she is devastated and thinks that she did something wrong. He assures her that it is because he has estate business that is months overdue. But instead of saying goodbye he says, Au Revoir.
The next time he sees her she is in London at a ball. What follows is a plethora of misunderstandings that strive to keep them apart engineered by a thoughtless and cruel young man who finds himself in peril and sees Rosalind as the answers to his problems.
There are wonderful secondary characters that are intricate to the story and some of them, I hope will have their own books. Stella's books are going to become an addiction that I will gladly embrace. I love how her stories are so historically accurate, the descriptions of the time period are impressive. There is a lot of research that goes into this beautiful story. Rosalind and Dominic are marvelous characters that you will fall for and cheer them on to their HAE. Alex Wyndham's narration is the icing on the cake.
I would like to thank Carol Cork and Wendy Loveridge for introducing me to Stella's books and audiobooks featuring Alex Wyndham. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a truly stunning love story that will make you laugh and cry. On to the next one in the series!!!
