About this listen

Welcome to Book One of my humorous, matchmaking Scandalous Miss Brightwells series!

I hope your smelling salts are on hand! This naughty Regency romp spares no details in its honest portrayal of how wicked and lively Fanny and Antoinette Brightwell made their rags-to-riches marriages and became darlings of the English aristocracy?

How did it all begin?

After Fanny’s ambitious mama agrees to marry off her beautiful daughter to odious Lord Slyther, a desperate Fanny disguises herself for a visit to Vauxhall Gardens where she encounters the devilishly delectable, rapturously responsive - and (fortuitously!) eligible - Lord Fenton.

Not only does this roguish rake have the looks and wit to please Fanny, he has the title and pocket book required to please Fanny’s mama!

However, persuading the naughty nobleman that Fanny would make the perfect wife, requires a deft touch and a lot of cunning.

With a spurned suitor intent on revenge, and a feckless sister who is more interested in fun and flirtation than finding a proper suitor, Fanny has her work cut out if she’s to appear the demure debutante that Fenton - or, rather, his exacting mama - requires.

Will Fanny get the right kind of offer from fabulous Fenton - or will feather-brained Antoinette ruin both their reputations?

Reader Advisory: This steamy Regency is not for the faint-hearted as Fanny Brightwell is prepared to risk everything to save herself from a lifetime attending to Great Aunt Seraphina's chilblains or massaging lecherous Lord Slyther’s gargantuan ego – amongst other things.

A rather weak drawn out storyline.Poor narration an Australian twang detracts from the British period .
