About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Sylvester is read by Matt Addis, who appears in Doctors and Doctor Who.
Sylvester, Duke of Salford, is considering marriage.
Endowed with rank, wealth and elegance, Sylvester, Duke of Salford, posts into Wiltshire to discover if the Honorable Phoebe Marlow will meet his exacting requirements for a bride. If he does not expect to meet a tongue-tied stripling wanting both manners and conduct, then he is intrigued indeed when his visit causes Phoebe to flee her home. They meet again on the road to London, where her carriage has come to grief in the snow. Yet Phoebe, already caught in one imbroglio, now knows she soon could be well deep in another....
A typically wonderful historical novel, Sylvester shows once more why Georgette Heyer is the undisputed queen of the genre she created - the Regency romance.

Very good recording of an entertaining story
I have been so disappointed by the new recordings of Heyer's books, but finally here is one that does not disappoint. The reading is clear and entertaining and, although I agree with another reviewer that Tom and Edmund sound a bit too old, overall this version ranks alongside the previous one read by Nicholas Rowe. I still wish the other version were available for people new to Heyer audiobooks but I am so glad I have them all in my library as they have been my comfort listens over the last four years.

Fabulous!
This was always one of my favourite of Heyer’s books and the narration is wonderful. I will listen many times I think.
For those who don’t know it, it’s fun, full of events, lovely characterisations and a read to really lose yourself in when days need lightening.

Wit, charm, beautifully performed
An absolute delight. One of Georgette Heyer’s best stories with laugh out loud moments. The narrator is exceptional, controlling a large cast with lovely characterisation. If you want a break from grim reality this is the book for you, I could hear it all again!

Couldn’t stop listening
Haven’t read this one - the plot is hilarious and touching and the performances Mme (this time) really did it justice.

Absolutely terrific
My main comment here is to congratulate the narrator. What a brilliant performance. All characters were given their own shape; I believe myself entirely in love with Tom Orde as voiced here.
Really good listen, so much so that I'm going to do this one again straight away. Bravo!
