The Other Miss Bridgerton (Rokesby Series: The Bridgerton Prequels #3)

by Julia Quinn Narrated by Rosalyn Landor

Overview

She was in the wrong place...

Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers' hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain's bed...

He found her at the wrong time...

Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he's stunned to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin. Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. But no, she is very real-and his duty to the Crown means he's stuck with her.

Can two wrongs make the most perfect right?

When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal-though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew's secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart...?

Editorial Reviews

JANUARY 2019 - AudioFile

Narrator Rosalyn Landor excels at narrating historical romances, and the story of Poppy Bridgerton and Captain Andrew is no exception. Poppy stumbles upon a smuggler’s cave and gets kidnapped onto Andrew’s ship, bound for Portugal. Unbeknownst to her, Andrew’s brother is married to her cousin, and he is on a secret mission for the government. Landor's rich voice vividly captures the banter between Poppy and Andrew. Landor deftly portrays a variety of voices—from the course tones of the sailors to the young voice of Billy, the cabin boy, to people in Portugal. Listeners will experience the highs and the lows of the story, much like the rise and fall of the ship on which Poppy sails forth. S.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
