He thought he could set her on a better path. But they might both wander astray....

Sir Gareth Ludlow never truly recovered from the death of his fiancée. Years later, a chance encounter with Amanda, a young and devastatingly pretty runaway, inspires him to try to do the right thing and to set her on a path towards a good life.

But Sir Gareth has been neck-deep in a life of debauchery and hedonism ever since his fiancée's death, and Amanda's startlingly lively imagination proves to be more than he'd bargained for. As they both become increasingly entangled in Sir Gareth's scheme, it seems more and more difficult for either of them to lead the life they should....

A witty and delightful historical novel, Sprig Muslin shows why Georgette Heyer has such a huge and devoted readership to this day.

Narration is terrible, mispronuciation to the point of making me grind my teeth

A schoolroom miss, a spinster, a corinthian, and an aspiring playwrite embark on an adventure that will change their lives.

With hint of The Tailsman Ring, The Foundling, and Charity Child this was a very sweet story. I thought due to these hint of similarity I would be disappointed in it, but truly the ending was one of my absolute favorites...love, love, love.

Nice reading overall

The reader was good with characters and voices, however she regularly mispronounced words. Unfortunately, we found ourselves listening in part just for the next mispronunciation…

Although not one of Heyer’s best it has its charm

The story is fun and entertaining. The reader is really bad. It seems at times like she just doesn’t care. Although I thought she was pretty good at Hildebrand.

Historical romance classic

Another Georgette Heyer classic story. It was well narrated and with a very satisfactory conclusion.

Not Heyer’s Best, but still good fun

Less attention to the central romantic storyline than you find in my favorite Heyers, but charming madcap fun
