Snapdragons

The Gents, Book 4

By: Sarah M. Eden

Narrated by: Luone Ingram

YORKSHIRE, 1787

The fateful day has arrived. Niles Greenberry has always known his family would eventually arrange a marriage for him, but he is certain that marrying Miss Penelope Seymour will cost him every dream he has. He’ll do anything to avoid the match altogether—even if it means disappearing. But the lovely Miss Seymour will not be so easily brushed aside.

Penelope has ambitions far beyond being a pampered wife, but they all hinge on finding a husband. There’s not a reputable bank that will assist an unmarried lady in financing her own business, but with the weight of the Greenberry name behind her, she just might stand a chance. So when her betrothed runs away, she follows.

The couple is astonished upon meeting: they are indubitably well suited. And when Niles’s friends, the Gents, arrive on the scene, the situation goes from bad to ridiculous as an inexpert courtship ensues. But can two individuals fighting for opposing futures find in each other the happiness they dream of?

Wonderful Addition to the Series!

I continue to love the gentle stories of The Gents. Set in Regency England, this close group of friends and their growing circle of wives always show themselves to be faithful, witty, and willing to do what they can to support each other in all times.

I enjoyed Niles and Penelope’s story. I listened to the audio version and, like I have with the books before this one, I thought the narrator did a fantastic job with the voices.

Niles and Penelope had a rough start, with Niles actually running away from the marriage that had been arranged for him. This was definitely a slow burn romance and I really felt for Penelope as she began to get to know Niles and started to realize that they actually had a lot in common. Yet, as she worked to connect with Niles, he seemed uninterested in her and I could feel the hurt and worry that Penelope had since she viewed Niles as her last chance at the future she hoped for.

As Niles and Penelope began to fall for each other, it was so sweet to see what caring people they actually were. Yet they had some big obstacles to overcome and Penelope’s very frustrating brother to deal with.

Snapdragons is a great addition to The Gents series and I am looking forward to reading and listening to the future stories when they are released.

(4.5 stars)

We finally get to know puppy

Puppy finds his wealth in love. So excited to get to know the quiet seemingly over looked gent. again the story is a masterpiece. Don't hesitate to get this book.

Excellent story line

Love this author and narrator! Wonderful book and worth the cost! It isn’t one where you know exactly what will happen but kept you wondering and was perfectly romantic!

So cute!

I love Sarah M Eden’s books. I have for ages! And Snapdragons was another wonderful sweet listen. I giggled, I cried a little, and I smiled wider than I have in ages. My cheesy romantic heart was very happy!

Great plot - not the usual!!

The women characters were strong and “made” what they needed to happen, happen. Love the addition of the horse breeding farm, too!

Such a tender love story.

I loved getting to know Niles better and Penelope was just right for him. It was fun watching the married Gents with their wives and families.

Another wonderful story!

This series feels like coming home to a warm fire and good friends. Sarah M. Eden excels and world and character building, as always.
