A Foolish Flirtation

A Victorian Romance (Reversal of Fortune, Book 1)

By: Alice Coldbreath

Narrated by: Abigail Langham

At eighteen, Emmeline Ballentine’s father splashed out on one London season to introduce his daughter to polite society. Sadly, for Emmeline, polite society was not terribly receptive to a city trader’s daughter.

She only ever caught one gentleman’s fancy, the dishonorable Jeremy Vance who made her head spin as he singled her out for attention at the balls and assemblies. Her worldly chaperone warned her he was making a May game of her, but Emmeline had not heeded her warning. Consequently, her dreams were dashed, when at the close of the season, Jeremy announced his engagement to another.

Ten years later, their paths cross again in Bath. Emmeline is older and wiser, and a good deal poorer, and Jeremy is divorced. There is absolutely no chance of him making a fool of her again with his shocking offer of marriage. Is there?

A Foolish Flirtation is a stand alone romance set in Victorian England. It is over 130,000 words long. Please do not purchase if you are offended by strong language and or sex scenes.

Cozy Romance with steam

Readers of Coldbreath get to find out what the past of the Prize Fighter's brother was like. Love the way it was presented not too over the top, just right for quiet evenings and cups of tea.

love and longing

likable flawed characters with sufficiently poor communication skills to make things dramatic but always well intentioned. classic Coldbreath level spiciness, rather ardent BBW energy.

Pure catnip

Alice Coldbreath writes the best marriage of convenience histroms, and now she just wrote the perfect second-chance histrom?! OMG! Pure catnipI LOVED JEREMY AND EMMELINE!!! Teddy, too! A Foolish Flirtation is now my favorite book by Alice Coldbreath. And it's also going on my list of favorite comfort books.
As for the narration, this is the first time I listened to an audiobook narrated by Abigail Langham. She has a sweet voice, and at first, I was skeptical if her voice would suit Jeremy. But the longer I listened, the more I appreciated it. I mean, Jeremy IS a sweetheart, after all.

Amazing as usual

Amazing book amazing story and amazing performance
Alice has done it again, continue to be one of my favorite authors

Great Author

I love this author’s writing style and interesting stories. I was disappointed in them using a different narrator. She’s super breathy. I hated her voices for Pinky and Jeremy. I’m used to the narration from Carmen Rose (aka Heather Wilds) It’s difficult when you’re accustomed to hearing all of the previous stories by a certain person. Jeremy’s character was first introduced in the Bride For A Prizefighter’s story. Other than that it was great as usual.
