The Regency Intrigue Series, Book 2

By: M. C. Beaton

Narrated by: Charlotte Anne Dore

From beloved historical romance author Marion Chesney comes the second installment in the Regency Intrigue series.

With little to live on but her romantic daydreams - which frequently starred the dashing Marquess of Fleetwater - Jean Lindsay lived a rather dismal life with her nasty, drunken uncle.

Jean was always the object of ridicule, that is, until news of her unexpected inheritance spread. Suddenly her worn dresses became "quaint" and her forthright manner turned magically to "charming", but to Jean's horror, someone wanted her dead!

With the marquess nearby to save her pretty neck, Jean felt quite safe... and quite smitten. As for her hero... how had an unsophisticated child from a Scottish manse turned his head and his heart askew?

Not the usual- not in a good way

Totally unlikeable characters. Too much back snd forth between love and hate on the flimsiest reason.

Lovely but slightly predictable

It was amusing to watch a completely inexperienced girl try to navigate society. The death threat was not well developed.

Very very good

So enjoyed this delightful book .. love how the narrator was so into each character.. a must read for those who love old Victoria ways

Unbearable Narration

I don't usually write reviews, but the Narration was so awful I decided to do this - the story was good & I wish I had read it vs listening. The narrator was stilted - in an effort to enunciate clearly, her voice sounded choppy. When she did the male voices or when reading the "daydream" sequences, she sounded like a zombie. I don't think I will ever listen to another book by this narrator.

Very long

Seemed to drag on and on. I like these kinds of stories but the two main characters might be better off without each other.
