About this listen

A sexy Scot, his big, lumpy sheepdog, and an English bluestocking who steals both their hearts.

Enjoy this hilarious, best-selling Regency series.

London is never the same once the Farthingales move onto Chipping Way, one of the loveliest streets in Mayfair. With five beautiful daughters in residence, the street has become a trap for unwary bachelors. Who will be next to fall?

Ewan Cameron has no intention of falling in love with the delectable, bookish Lily Farthingale. He is the estranged grandson of the duke of Lotheil and has come to London because of a deathbed promise to his father. He has no intention of staying beyond his three-month obligation. Nothing can tempt him to remain, not even Lily, the beautiful bluestocking determined not only to restore relations between him and his grandfather, but to turn Ewan into a proper gentleman. It doesn't matter that his big lump of a sheepdog is madly in love with her. Nor is it significant that Ewan can always tell Lily apart from her identical twin sister. Always.

Lily Farthingale, the scholarly twin, dreams of becoming the first female member of the Royal Society. She grabs at the chance when the elderly duke of Lotheil approaches her with a proposition—he'll admit her into the Royal Society if she helps him to establish a relation with his estranged grandson, Ewan Cameron, a very rough-around-the-edges Scotsman who hates everything English. Between shootings, explosions, and Lily's abduction, will Ewan fall in love with Lily in this Pygmalion-inspired story?

The accents were terrible, and they wandered around/switched to other accents, and too many words pronounced in USA not regency London.
Plus the usual errors in the books written by USA authors about food, customs and distances.
This is probably a pleasant listen for someone who is not a native English speaker with a background of reading Heyer.

oh dear

Being Scottish myself I have heard lots of accents of my native tongue, but I have to say this is definitely the worst. It’s so bad I only got half wY through chapter 1. I don’t know if the book would have been any good as I couldn’t listen to that. Narrator for more than 5 mins. If you decide to go ahead with this book then I wish you luck on reaching the end

Worst Scottish accent I have ever heard
