Lady Isabella's Splendid Folly

A Fortune's of Fate story (Fortunes of Fate, Book 7)

By: Sandra Sookoo, Fortunes of Fate

Narrated by: Megan Green

There is only one path to true love, no matter how fate, fortune, or destiny play.

Lady Isabella Fortescue has tired of trying to bring a man up to scratch. At 31, she’s put herself on the shelf and is glad for it, except she wants to have one splendid folly to call her own before that happens. But the unorthodox arrival of a horribly rude man makes her think even a scandal isn’t possible.

Captain Peregrine St. John has sworn off women - indefinitely. With the ill-luck of his last relationship fresh in his mind, he retires from naval service sporting a bum leg and a shattered heart. Rustication proves beyond boring, and a visit to a gypsy fair has him face down in the mud on a stormy afternoon. The heated admonishment from a lady only further cements his attitude on the fairer sex.

As fate would have it, Isabella and Peregrine are neighbors in Buckinghamshire. As country social life throws them together, tempers rise with each new meeting, and sparks fly. Verbal banter gives way to wicked glances, and teasing kisses flare into passion on one glorious night. Fortune might predict happiness or foolish error, but love can only bloom if they listen to true desires hidden deep inside their hearts.

Very cute Historical Romance

This had all the qualities I love about historical romances.
It had humor and intrigue and most of all love!

I love Megan Green's narration!

This book was a gift from the narrator and this is my honest review.

Lady Isabella's Splendid Folly by Sandra Sookoo

What an amazing love story. ❤ One can never expect when to find love even when you don't want it. If follies meant to find true love then I'm all for it. Definitely a story worth listening to.

good book

this was a good book it is not the genre that I prefer but i would still recommend it to my book friends

Truly a splendid story

I received a free code to listen to this book and I did so willingly

A story full of laughter and romance. I enjoyed it immensely and I must say it was quite tremendously narrated. I do love historical fiction.
Thanks for an excellent series of books

A Good Story

I really enjoyed the story itself so much. I loved the way Isabelle and Peregrine rubbed each other up the wrong way when they met and then when he agrees to partner her in her folly (a foolish act which one hopes not to be caught at) they both begin to realise they have fallen in love.
The narration of the audiobook fell a bit short in my estimation. The voices used were good but I hate it when almost every sentence sounds like a question instead of a full stop. This kind of thing spoilt the overall presentation for me - unfortunately. (I also went back to listen to the sample and it is definitely a better section that was used there.)
So I would definitely recommend the story itself but as for the audio, well you had better make up your own mind.
I listened to the audiobook version and this is my voluntary and unbiased review of it.
