Two more of Barbara Metzger’s romantic entertainments, read by Pippa Rathborne,
blending classic traditions of Restoration and screwball comedy
with a timeless sympathy for people,
are available to download on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.
The thrills of courtship and the consummation of marriage in Wedded Bliss are threatened by thuggish rivals, attempted assaults and kidnappings, all constantly interrupted by a family of irresistibly high-spirited children and puppies. In trying to educate their children, the hero and heroine learn about themselves.

Lady Whilton’s comically complicated wedding is the elegant backdrop to one of Metzger’s
most moving love stories about a rare second chance to find happiness.
This is the remastered edition of the original recording.
