A Season at Brighton: Romance and rivalry in Georgian England (The Eversley Saga Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Alice Chetwynd Ley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 590 ratings
Georgian England is brought to life in this page-turning romantic adventure! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Jane Aiken Hodge and Jane Austen.

Will Catherine Denham’s independent streak land her in serious danger…?

1806, England

The word is out that eligible bachelor, Lord Pamyngton is ready to take a wife.

And who better than one of the three beautiful Denham sisters who are single and out in society?

Catherine Denham is the obvious match, as the heart of her elder sister, Louisa lies elsewhere…

But Catherine has no intention of marrying just yet. Particularly not to a rude viscount whose heart, she knows, belongs to another.

A trip to visit their married sister in Brighton leads the Denham girls into a world of trouble.

Will they survive A Season at Brighton with their lives – and their reputations – intact?

A SEASON AT BRIGHTON is the third book in The Eversley Saga: Traditional British, pre Regency romance novels with outspoken, feisty heroines set in Georgian England.

'Certainly recommended for Regency fans who also love a mystery' – Kirkus Reviews

    4.0 out of 5 stars 1971 traditional Regency. Third in Chetwynd Ley's Eversley Saga. (What happened to #2?)
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    (3.5 stars) English writer Alice Chetwynd Ley (1913 - 2004) published light historical romances from 1959 to 1986. Her books are not great literature but they are fun traditional Regencies. Those romance readers who like the sexier, more recently-written style of HR will find her work boring, but that's not me. Her books are Georgette Heyer lite but they're fun nonetheless.

    If Chetwynd Ley were a 21st-century writer of Regencies and her books had been recently written and released, I would criticize them as being very predictable, formulaic, and derivative. But they're so old that they are really only derivative of a very few HR writers of earlier times, such as Heyer, and I enjoy them in the context of the times they were written.

    As to this particular book, it is part of Chetwynd Ley's Eversley Saga. The first book of this series, from 1967, is THE CLANDESTINE BETROTHAL and is available also in e-format. The puzzle is that the second book, THE TOAST OF THE TOWN (from 1968) is NOT. What happened to #2? I would have preferred to read these in order, since some events of #2 are mentioned in this #3.

    Whatever the case, this HR from 1971 can be read as a standalone. It features hero Viscount Pamyngton (Pam), who, as the story begins, is on his way to visit his mother. The mother, unbeknownst to him, is matchmaking with dear friend Lady Denham to get Pam married off to one of the three unmarried Denham daughters of marriageable age. He accidentally meets up with heroine Catherine Denham, who had decided to "run away" to married sister Fanny's place in Brighton to escape these marriage plans. But her adventure is not working out very well and requires a bit of rescuing by Pam, who does not reveal his identity.

    Well, off the story goes. Catherine, as you may have guessed, is a bit impulsive and impetuous but not quite TSTL (although some behavior at times does border on it). Pam is a very appealing hero. The secondary characters are fun. There's a romance for Catherine's older sister Louisa and hints of a possible future romance for younger sister Eleanor. And there's a fortune hunter villain who's actually somewhat appealing, except for a few character flaws. I wonder if he will ever show up in another Chetwynd Ley book to be "redeemed"?

    And: Will we ever get the chance to read THE TOAST OF THE TOWN in e-format?

    3.0 out of 5 stars More than a little tedious
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2021

    This is the third book I have read by this author, and my least favorite. The cast of characters was too numerous to keep track of,(or care much about), and the heroine so flighty and flimsy that she did not deserve the H.
    I did read a brilliant one by this author, so I will try again with another of her works.

    A fun lite read. I think it helped to read book 1 and 2 in the saga, in order. The historical facts felt true. The plot reminded me of Georgette Heyer a bit; where the characters were getting into "scrapes." I will definitely read more by Alice Chetwynd Ley.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Eversley bunch
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021
    Even though neither character is an actual Eversley, this was my favorite. The lead characters are, in my opinion, more evenly matched from the outset. While the female lead character could be labeled a "hoyden" had her first escapade or "scrape", as she referred to it, happened in London, instead of the backwater of her own community, she frequently acted without thought to aftereffects of her decisions. The male lead, finding himself already attracted & intrigued, behaved admirably, given how shoddily he was often treated by her. Another case of "All's well that ends well", thanks to his forethought & commitment.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Average clean regency romance
    Reviewed in India on February 8, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This is the first book I have read of the author and I find it average. I have read both clean and steamy romance so either books don't mind as long as the story is well narrated and the characters are portrayed well. There are clean romanctic stories, even without kissing scenes yet you can easily feel their love, here I could neither feel their love or romance. It was quite missing
    The story starts with Catherine eloping and running into obstacles, it was interesting premise though bit absurd yet i looked forward as her interactions with the Hero when he rescues her was quite impressive. Alas, the heroine seemed bit foolish to me as the story moved on and towards the end it was confirmed. Hero seems to be constantly rescuing her. Initially it seemed to be funny, later there was nothing funny about it.
    Author seems to have love for 2 words "prodigal" and "saucy", it's repeated too many times in the book that I found it annoying. Nowhere in the story, I found Catherine falling in love with the Hero while hero's actions belied the fact that he did love her so yes as far as romance is concerned, it is 2 stars. The book seems to be loosely inspired by Heyer and Jane Austen yet it is nowhere close to it. Overall the story doesn't engage you.
    Read this book if you have nothing better to do. Overall average read

    4.0 out of 5 stars Full of fun against the backdrop of a town I know well
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2019

    This tale is funny, touching and full of life. It has all the characters necessary to a romance with sparkling dialogue and scenes well described and easy to imagine. It engages the reader's interest from the outset and I was soon enjoying the humour and the interplay between the appealing main characters. I was very happy to travel along with them and meet the rest of the cast. Extra enjoyment came from the locations.

    I am Sussex born and bred (though I'm quite proud of being half Welsh too); so this story, set in parts of Sussex I know well, together with the main staging being in Brighton, which I know very well indeed, means it is even more fascinating. I've enjoyed the references to so many parts of Brighton and to Rottingdean as well. The research is impressive and I've enjoyed looking for where different places, mentioned in the story, were located. I know the streets well. Some where ancestors lived and they certainly knew many others. I've often walked those same streets too.

    All in all, a story that any Georgette Heyer fan will enjoy and appreciate, as I have.
