Sally

The Daring Debutantes, Book 7

By: Marion Chesney

Narrated by: Charlotte Anne Dore

She was an honored guest in a palatial country home. "Aunt Mabel," lovelorn columnist of Home Chats magazine, had been summoned to prevent the Duchess of Dartware's son, Paul, from a marriage worse than death.

Who would have guessed that behind Aunt Mabel's acid pen and ageless wisdom lurked eighteen-year-old Sally Blane - determined to make the handsome marquess her own! But how could she compete, wearing false wrinkles and a white wig? It was a challenge worthy of Sally herself: Conquer the upper crust of Dartware and enchant her newfound Prince Charming, without giving "Aunt Mabel's" secret away.

Okay

This book was quirky and different enough for a couple evening’s entertainment. Miss Dore’s narrations always take some getting used too, but if played on faster speed, it’s easy to get past the odd and stilted cadence. I think a different narrator could have added some wit and humor to the characters instead of the harsh play-by-play, and sometimes petulant tone, presented.

One of my faves!

This was light and fun and even weirdly relatable! Love story full of obstacles but with the happy ever after everyone wants. ❤️
