London 1814... Drake, Duke of Manchester is searching the Marriage Mart for a perfect bride. He wants a woman who is poised, sophisticated, and worthy of the title Duchess. But most of all, he wants a woman who does not want the useless emotion of love.

Socially awkward Miss Penelope Clayton isn't meant for marriage. A serious botanist, she has no desire to wed, so being forced by her guardian to participate in the Season to find a husband is torture. She'll never fit in with the ton, especially if they discover she's been pretending to be a man within the scientific community.

As Drake's family makes over Penelope, turning her from naive bluestocking to enchanting debutante, he is put upon to introduce her to society and eligible bachelors. Despite dance lessons and new gowns, Penelope is the opposite of poised and sophisticated as she stumbles from one mishap to the next. Why then, does he find it so hard to resist her?

The story was ok. a little thin, but the narration was awful. Too breathy and high pitched. The male voices sounded like 13 year old boys... ugh.

meh...

Why does the narrator’s American accent sound like she’s from the San Fernando Valley in California, instead of Boston in the 1800s?

This was pretty good. It was nice and light to pass the time. If you need a little escape from the world this is the book.

The narrator seems to have much trouble with male voices. Even though Drake's voice is most often described as "deep", it is actually very high and not very masculine. I have heard other female narrator's do a much better job with male voices. However, I enjoyed the story and will probably read more if this author but preferably not with this narrator.

narrator not as good as expected

Enjoyed the story but most of the time when you have a woman narrator the men sound like stuck up old hags. However, when you get a man narrator the women sound like Mrs. Doubtfire. So, if you can get past it, you will enjoy the story.
