Mr. Malcolm's List

By: Suzanne Allain

Narrated by: Elizabeth Knowelden

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an arrogant bachelor insistent on a wife who meets the strictest of requirements—deserves his comeuppance.

The Honourable Mr. Jeremy Malcolm is searching for a wife, but not just any wife. As the target of matchmaking mothers and desperate debutantes, he's determined to avoid the fortune hunters and find a near-perfect woman, one who will meet the qualifications on his well-crafted list. But after years of searching, he's beginning to despair of ever finding this paragon. Until Selina Dalton arrives in town.

Selina, a vicar's daughter of limited means and a stranger to high society, is thrilled when her friend Julia Thistlewaite invites her to London, until she learns it's all part of a plot to exact revenge on Mr. Malcolm. Selina is reluctant to participate in Julia's scheme, especially after meeting the irresistible Mr. Malcolm, who appears to be very different from the arrogant scoundrel of Julia's description.

But when Mr. Malcolm begins judging Selina against his unattainable standards, Selina decides that she has some qualifications of her own. And if he is to meet them he must reveal the real man behind...Mr. Malcolm's List.

I LOVED it!

I stumbled upon this book by complete accident, and only spent the credit because it was marked as "soon to be a motion picture", but boy am I glad I read it! It was absolutely delightful and the narrator did an amazing job. As someone who has read every Jane Austen book more times than I care to admit, I will be purchasing this book in hard copy and placing it amongst my favorites on the shelf. It had just the right amount of humor and romance, paired with just the right amount of despair as whether or not there would be a happy ending. If you're a fan of Jane Austen, or even a fan of sweet romance, give this book a chance, I promise it will become one of your favorites as well!

Fun, witty & wonderful narration

Great story and I love Elizabeth Knowelden. Fun turns & twists in plot and great characterization.

Just watched the movie

So much better than the movie! There was so much missing from the movie. I enjoyed this performance. Voice acting was great. Very expressive and entertaining.

Good clean romance!

Great story, a few twists had me laughing out loud. Great narration as well. Recommend!!

Charming

Everything about this one is charming; engaging and fun plot, characters, and clean romance. Excellent narration. A good choice for a break from serious fiction ( nothing very serious here).
