American freelancer-turned-heiress Penny Nichols is back for more fun and another engaging international romp with her English hero, Jeremy. Pursued by gigolos, gold-diggers, an ex-wife, and highly aggressive salesmen chasing after their millions, Penny and Jeremy decide to take the summer off and sock away most of their inheritance for one year. But they allow themselves one big "splurge" from their wish list-- and that's where all the trouble begins. At an auction on the French Riviera, Penny and Jeremy win much more than they bargain for, uncovering a centuries-old rivalry involving the theft of a priceless treasure linked to Beethoven's Germany, the mysterious island of Corsica, a luxurious 1920s yacht, and a medieval castle on Lake Como, Italy.--From publisher description.… (mehr)

I'm really enjoying there series from Bemond. The characters are interesting, the surroundings are sophisticated and the concept of someone who is suddenly wealthy having to find out how to live with that new wealth. There's romance, mystery and great descriptions. ( )

This was cute. Not as good as the first, but definitely kept my attention. I do have an issue with the whole ex-wife thing. The set up made it seem as though that would be a central plot through the whole book, and it really was just sort of dashed in and out of.

It's still a charming story with a solve a mystery component that was done well. ( )

What would your life be like if you just unexpectedly inherited beaucoup dinero? Well, for one thing you would be dealing always with people who have a need or use for your money and have tons of ways to help you spend it. This includes ex-wives, shady family members and hordes of the deserving poor. Penny Nichols and Jeremy her boy friend have thrown their lot together and before settling down to new business ventures decide to take a gap summer. They have one exciting adventure after another which take them from the French Riviera, to Lake Como in Italy and even to Corsica, Napoleon's birthplace.

If your summer plans include a staycation on veranda beach this is one way to get away. ( )

A Rather Curious Engagement continues the adventures of heiress Penny Nichols and her boyfriend Jeremy. Penny and Jeremy decide to allow themselves one big splurge as they try to figure out what to do with their new fortune. A vintage yacht being auctioned off catches their eye and they dream of quiet, relaxing boating trips. Naturally, what they get is more than they bargained for and when the yacht mysteriously disappears Penny is on the case.

This second book in the Penny Nichols series is as light and entertaining as the first one. Again read by Katherine Kellgren, the audio book is perfect for a summer road trip. Her posh accents combined with Penny's wicked sense of humor kept me laughing! What fun books! ( )
