When Matilda Halifax absconds to Gretna Green to elope with her much older beau, her twin, Margo, is determined to stop her. With their brother out of town, this Halifax Hellion turns to his best friend, solicitor Henry Mortimer, to accompany her on the carriage ride to Scotland. Armed only with cash and cheese in her reticule, Margo’s plans seem haphazard and hasty, but with Henry by her side, perhaps they can reach Matilda before any vows are made.

This novella is absolutely delicious! Alexandra Vasti captures a complete story arc and fully developed characters in not so many pages. It’s opposites-attract, longterm-pining, brother’s best friend, experienced heroine, different social classes, roadtrip, historical romance goodness, and I cannot recommend it enough.

I fell in love with Henry and want Margo to be the best friend that pulls me out of my shell.

Mhairi Morrison’s narration is excellent. I had a goofy grin on my face while listening to this audiobook, and I loved her voices for all of the characters.

At 3 hours and 33 minutes, the audiobook In Which Margo Halifax Earns Her Shocking Reputation is a delightful diversion. I am so excited to read what Vasti writes next.

I received an advance copy of the audiobook from Dreamscape Media and NetGalley. All review opinions are my own.
