Listeners find themselves in England during the late 1700s in this entertaining romance narrated by Rosalyn Landor. Nicholas Rokesby finds himself called home from medical school to marry friend and neighbor Georgiana Bridgerton, who has found her reputation ruined through no fault of her own. Landor’s dry tones will have listeners chuckling over the antics of the two butlers from Nicholas’s and Georgiana’s households. Landor brings alive Georgiana’s howling cats as she and Nicholas travel by carriage up to Scotland, allowing listeners to easily envision the chaos. Character portraits run the gamut from the lower-class servants to the upper-class protagonists and the childishness of Georgiana’s young nephews, providing listeners with a fun-filled listening experience.

There were Bridgertons before the eight alphabetically named siblings. In this fourth of the Bridgerton prequel series, following*The Other Miss Bridgerton, we go back to where it all began. . . from*#1*New York Times*bestselling author Julia Quinn.
She was given two choices...
Georgiana Bridgerton isn't*against*the idea of marriage. She'd just thought she'd have some say in the matter. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she's abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life.
Enter Option #3
As the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he's close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time-or interest-to find a wife. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton-his literal girl-next-door-is facing ruin, he knows what he must do.
A Marriage of Convenience
It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she'd say*no. Georgie doesn't want to be anyone's sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends... or could they?
But as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. First comes scandal, then comes marriage. But after*that*comes love...
