About this listen

Sensible, practical Elinor Tregarth really did plan to be the model poor relation when she moved into Hathergill Hall. She certainly never meant to kidnap her awful cousin Penelope's pet dragon. She never expected to fall in love with the shameless—but surprisingly sweet—fortune hunter who came to court Penelope. And she never dreamed that she would have to enter into an outrageous magical charade to save her younger sisters' futures.

However, even the most brilliant scholars of 1817 England still haven't ferreted out all the lurking secrets of rediscovered dragonkind...and even the most sensible of heroines can still make a reckless wish or two when she's pushed. Now Elinor will have to find out just how rash and resourceful she can be when she sets aside all common sense. Maybe, just maybe, she'll even be impractical enough to win her own true love and a happily ever after...with the unpredictable and dangerous "help" of the magical creature who has adopted her.

A frothy Regency rom-com full of pet dragons and magical misadventures, Scales and Sensibility is a full-length novel and the first in a new series of standalone romantic comedies.

This book was very well done! Its the best of both worlds! I thought the juxtaposition between the clear classical romance and curious fantasy was wonderfully well done. I loved the complexity of the characters and plot as well as the way the author maintained the language and social paradigms of the age. This story while intense and exciting at times was also very lighthearted and charming. Narrator also did a wonderful job, I really enjoyed her performance and thought she was the perfect fit.

Expertly merged fantasy with classic literature

This tale is utterly enchanting! I loved it! Don't be misled by the name - this is not a Sense and Sensibility retelling with magic. However, it is a fun Regency novel with a hint of magic. I thought the author did a really clever job of incorporating mini-dragons into everyday regency life. This reminded me of a Georgette Heyer / Jane Austen mashup with dragons.

Funny, clean, and incredibly enjoyable! I hope the next book comes out on Audible soon.

Delightful!

This has everything my little regency fantasy loving heart wants from a romance. I am so excited to read the sequel!
