Nice easy listening except for the detraction of the female narrator who is quite irritating. The 3 stories were all about reluctant brides yet all different enough to be entertaining.

These audiobooks definitely exceeded my expectations. I had expected them to be very similar and I was not entirely wrong because all of them are set in the Regency period and reflect all that the Regency entails. However each story is different because the protagonists have remarkably different back stories and personalities. And yet the stories are connected through friendship and a quaint boarding house for blue stocking, thinking women. There is enough "meat" in each story to give the plot weight without being repetitive, considering the three stories are bunched together.

For me, Regency romances work as wonderful, glamorous stories I can escape into. And this book more than met my escapism needs! I enjoyed them!


This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

3 Stories - All different but Satisfyingly Regency

I’m really enjoying the story in book 1, and the male narrator is very good. The female one is appalling. An absolute passion killer. I think it’s an American trying to ‘do’ an upper class English accent based upon some of the pronunciation, but it’s horribly over acted, shrill and unnatural - makes my ears hurt, I get to the point that I want to stop listening, just as I can’t take it anymore, it switches to the male voice and I relax into it again - then it switches back. She completely destroyed any of the possible romance. I want to finish it but I may give up if it doesn’t improve. Oh Lordy - finished, made it to book 2 and it’s the same woman. I think I may be done. Shame, she’s a fun writer.

The story is let down by the performance.

I don’t know if I will last to the end as this woman’s voice is awful! Sorry but there it is.

Oh that voice
