About this listen
A brand-new recording narrated by Georgia Tennant, star of Doctor Who: Dreamland and Staged.
Who will take the Cotswold Crown?
Into the cut-throat world of Corinium television comes Declan O'Hara, a mega-star of great glamour and integrity with a radiant feckless wife, a handsome son and two ravishing teenage daughters. Living rather too closely across the valley is Rupert Campbell-Black, divorced and as dissolute as ever, and now the Tory Minister for Sport.
Declan needs only a few days at Corinium to realize that the Managing Director, Lord Baddingham, is a crook who has recruited him merely to help retain the franchise for Corinium. Baddingham has also enticed Cameron Cook, a gorgeous but domineering woman executive, to produce Declan's program. Declan and Cameron detest each other, provoking a storm of controversy into which Rupert plunges with his usual abandon.
As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered, and sex raises its (delicious) head at almost every throw as, in bed and boardroom, the race is on to capture the Cotswold Crown.

Fantastic story and wonderful narration
This audiobook has been my constant companion this summer. I knew the story but the awesome narration just added something to it. I hope Georgia Tennant will read all of the Jilly Cooper back catalogue now!

Escapism at its finest
A romp of a book, narrated fantastically by Georgia Tennant. Her voices really brought it to life. I hope she re-narrates the rest of the Rutshire Chronicles too!

Georgia Tennant's narration is perfection. I was so disappointed when it was finished. I think I'm going to have to listen to it again!

My favourite Jilly Ever
Just the best book to escape into, have always loved Rivals so much, and the fact it’s been re-recorded is fantastic. An excellent rendition.
Would love to listen to all of the Rutshire Chronicles on audio, but just cannot cope with the very strange stilted staccato style monotone of the Sherry Baines narrated books. Please please update all of them. That would be so amazing x
