About this listen
In this whirlwind series, Marion Chesney brings us spirited, independent women who are bewitching, beguiling, and determined to make their marks on the world.
Blessed with beauty, Mrs. Manners never bothered with the lesser skills of grammar and spelling. So, in order to entrap a second husband, namely the dashing duke of Denbigh, she needed Miss Verity Bascombe. Surely the modest chit would be honored to write her love letters. Poor Verity! Her old schoolmate was as selfish as ever. The lovely girl's gilded pen soon had the duke most intrigued by the poetic Mrs. Manners! But alas, what began as a tiny deception became troublesome indeed - for Verity soon found herself enamored by the handsome duke!

Worth Prozac and sleeping tablets
The Regency books written by MC Beaton under various names make my sleepness nights less unbearable and on the whole help me cope with The Black Dog and I am grateful to her from the bottom of my heart. This is not my favourite narrator. I can't say it's great literature but it has helped me stay alive and this author, as well as Audible are priceless for all the support they have brought me throughout these difficult months.. This is actually a good make you feel good story. Thank you, Mrs Beaton and Audible.

Lovely story. Terrible narrator.
I love the historical romances from this author. For a few hours they make my world a gentle, beautiful place. Unfortunately the narrator of this one spoiled all my pleasure with her constant wrong pronunciations - and not just the esoteric ones like “Berkeley”. How, for example, does she get “expanse” to rhyme with “grass”??? I wish Audible would not use American-speakers to narrate British-English books. Few of them can do it with any authenticity (think Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins) and it’s constantly jarring or nerve jangling, like nails on a blackboard.

The narrator makes a weak story awful
Marion Chesney often writes an amusing page turner, but the reliance on a parrot that only repeats select parts of conversations is a little thin. We can warm to the heroine, Verity, but although she appears to have many intelligent insights, she ignores all the evidence that charlotte is using her, and has little regard for her. All of this is just about tolerable, but the narrator appears to be American and has not bothered to learn pronunciation of UK English words. Berkley, I can live with when pronounced "birkley" instead of "barclay", but "gros-ven-or" stalled my ability to listen.
