Nearly a Bride

About This Audiobook

Sabrina Jeffries delivers a deliciously wicked historical romance with *Nearly a Bride*, where a disgraced nobleman must navigate a world that’s already written him off—and unexpectedly finds love in the most inconvenient place. The story hinges on the sharp-witted Lady Helen, who’s just as determined to avoid marriage as she is to expose the truth behind her brother’s ruinous exile. When their paths collide, their chemistry crackles with a mix of frustration and fascination, blending high-stakes deception with the kind of flirtation that makes listeners lean in closer. The setting—Regency England’s glittering ballrooms and shadowy drawing rooms—serves as more than just backdrop; it’s a character itself, rife with secrets and societal traps that keep the tension simmering.

Beverley A. Crick’s narration is the icing on this already decadent cake. Her voice shifts effortlessly between the clipped authority of nobility and the breathless urgency of lovers caught in a whirlwind, making each character distinct and memorable. She doesn’t just read the dialogue—she performs it, adding layers of nuance to Jeffries’ whip-smart prose. For listeners who crave historical romance with bite, *Nearly a Bride* offers a tantalizing blend of humor, heartache, and heat, all wrapped in a package that’s nearly impossible to pause.
