About this listen

When the Marquis of Amberley's coach is waylaid by highwaymen and his coachman shot, he is forced to take shelter at the first house he finds and is subsequently trapped there for a week by a severe snowstorm.

Oakleigh Manor is the home of Rosalind Vernon who lives alone but for her devoted servants and an ill-natured parrot, cut off from the outside world by the tragic result of a childhood accident. But Rosalind is brave and bright and totally devoid of self-pity - and it is these qualities which, as the days pass and the snow continues to fall, touch Amberley's heart.

On his return to London, the Marquis persuades Rosalind's brother, Philip, to bring her to town for a taste of society, despite her handicap. But the course of Amberley's courtship is far from smooth. Philip Vernon actively dislikes him; Rosalind appears to be falling under the spell of the suavely elegant Duke of Rockliffe; and worse still, Amberley is haunted by a dark and terrible secret that, if revealed, may cause him to lose Rosalind forever.

The whole Rockliffe series is fantastic and the narration by Alex Wyndham really brings it life.
Well worth it.

A fabulous combination of writing and narration

I read hundreds of romance books and so for a change I bought the audible version. The narrators voice was excellent and a delight to listen to.

A very enjoyable book.

I have read the print version of 'the Parfit Knight' many, many times, but only recently embarked on the audible version, narrated by the very talented Alex Wyndham. From the opening lines, I was totally immersed in the story-telling and have great admiration for the many different voices, accents, nuances and male and female voices - including Broody the parrot - that Alex Wyndham brings to Stella Riley's wonderful writing. Another reviewer, writing about Alex Wyndham, said something along the lines that one forgets that one is listening to only one person when you are listening to his narration - and I think that is probably the highest praise for a narrator, entirely deserved.

I loved it.

Very very good indeed

I took a chance on an author I hadn't heard of with a narrator I hadn't listened to before and I'm so glad I did! The story is wonderful, beautifully written with interesting characters, fabulous descriptions of everything, that allow you to imagine the scenes perfectly. Alex Wyndham is amazing and perfect for these types of books, his accents perfect and his lazy drawl intoxicating and sexy.

My new favourite combination of author & narrator!
