A Convenient Engagement

Brides of Brighton Series, Book 1

De: Ashtyn Newbold

Narrado por: Mary Sarah

A false engagement. A mysterious coast. Two reluctant hearts.

Much to her father's dismay, Miss Amelia Buxton aspires to become a spinster, just like her eccentric aunt. Growing up with parents who married for every reason but love, she has never seen a joyful marriage. When Amelia requests a summer trip to the legendary waters of Brighton, her father allows her the excursion, but with one requirement: She must return engaged, or agree to the proposal of the man of his choosing.

Crawling with tourists, Brighton is not the town Adam Claridge once loved. When his sister Eleanor disappears without warning, Adam is desperate to bring her home. In his search, he happens upon Miss Amelia Buxton, a young tourist that proves vital in his search for Eleanor. But Amelia is conducting a search of her own-a search for a husband-and Adam has little choice but to offer a fair trade: He will play the role of Amelia's betrothed in exchange for her assistance in finding Eleanor.

Convenient at first, Amelia and Adam's arrangement quickly plummets into disarray. Falling in love had not been part of their bargain.

SWEET LOVE STORY

The story gets a 5-star rating from me , the narrator gets a 2-star. The narrator has a nice voice but reads in a sing-song voice & her male voice is a whisper & too feminine sounding to be male, very distracting. Listened to this narrator in other books & had that same reaction plus I need to increase the narrator’s speed, she reads much too slow for me. Sorry for this negative reaction to this book but felt I must be honest regardless the STORY IS DARLING!

Simple, sweet story, but the narrator is far out of her depth with British accents.

Sweet

It was ok, a sweet story. Nothing too deep though. I do like the narrator. Mary Sarah.

A relaxing predictable story

A relaxing predictable story somewhat coloured by the silly narrator who overshadowed the plot with unnecessary emphasis and faciteousness. Her calls of each chapter oozed contempt. Annoying. narrators job is to add to the plot and blend into the situation unobtrusively. This narrator did not allow us to settle into the developing story, rather she dominated and placed her reading as more important. However I did finish it, I think. fell asleep.

Nice Story

First read by this author. It was a good story, but I didn't care for the narrator.
