Acerca de esta escucha
Three tales - one past, one present, one future - explore what it is to love and just how far someone would go for the love of another.
The Past: Lady Daphne Collister is unimpressed with her fellow magic-wielding debutantes. She finds their methods overbearing. Surely there was a better way of finding a noble husband in Regency England?
The Present: Ellie loves Josh. Josh barely knows Ellie exists. For her, it is not enough to sit behind him at school every day. What must Ellie do to get Josh to notice her? How about a love spell? After all, what could go wrong?
The Future: Leo and his co-worker Katerina have fallen in love. Secretly, of course, for office romance is illegal and all marriages are strictly regulated. There's only one exception: the Valentine Raffle. But to win at love, Leo and Katerina may need to cheat the system....

Though it was a marriage of convenience, their heated wedding night gave her hope that it would turn into something more.

The death of Callie Scott's fashionable father left her with nothing - except an inquisitive mind not even her grandmother's puritanical upbringing could quash. An adventurous spirit doesn't get her much in New York City, however, except an abysmal position as a ladies maid. Things are looking up when she lands a trial job in a library. Her benefactor's offer of wine before noon should have signaled something amiss.

Devlin Markham, the notorious "Devil Duke" of Huntington, needs a woman. And not just any woman. If he can't woo one of the most eccentric bluestockings of the Ton within the month, he can kiss his hard-earned fortune good-bye. But he's always thought love a wasted emotion and marriage an inconvenience at best. And oddly enough, Lady Sophie Wolcott seems unmoved by his charm. When Sophie learns her beloved orphanage is in imminent danger, she will do anything to save it. Even marry a ruthless rake who takes what he wants in business and pleasure.

The sensational Debra Mullins launches a new Victorian Era-set series with Tempting a Proper Lady - a wild and passionate romp about a proper wedding planner who join forces with a dashing gentleman to stop the wedding of the year, and the romantic chaos that ensues. Brimming with sensuality and electric sexual tension between the protagonists, Mullins' Tempting is a tempting treat indeed, especially if you like the novels of Lorraine Heath and Julie Anne Long.

It's 1814 and nineteen‑year‑old Eliza Melrose is about to be launched into London's high society—much to her dismay. The last thing she wants is a husband. Eliza's "misplaced" thirst for adventure, knowledge and the creative word is a bone of contention for her father, who battles endlessly to keep her curiosity and ambitions in check, for women are not meant to ask questions or give opinions in matters of business. But then she meets the youngest son of the late Duke of Chester, a disgraced nobleman who is shrouded in mystery and proving quite impossible to resist.

Strangers meet, romance blossoms. But there's a test...A classic fairytale retold. Good English families all have a house in the country with a deer park, a trout stream, and an army of gardeners. They should have a son and if it can be managed, he should be handsome. Cleverness isn't important. Daughters in limited quantities are fine so long as they are pretty. Bastards are inconvenient and best ignored. It's not a big problem, unless you are one. Unfortunately, Sophy is.

3 Cute Stories
The first story is set in an alternate Regency England where girls use magical charms to hunt and trap eligible men of the Ton into marriage.
I liked the second story best. It was a modern tale of a very silly teenage girl and her years long efforts to attract the attention of her crush. Her overdramatic behaviour is quite humerous.
Tale three is a futuristic story of a society where the eligibility to enter into a 5 year marriage contract is chose by a selective raffle.

A fun little romp
If you could sum up A Lady of Many Charms and Other Stories in three words, what would they be?
Light fantasy romances.
What did you like best about this story?
The first story, "A Lady of Many Charms", was an interesting take on historical romance. The main character, Daphne, kept my interest. I liked that she was more grounded than anyone else. Perry was mostly interesting, but was not quite as developed as a character.
"Ellie Loves Josh" was my least favorite of the stories. Perhaps I'm too far removed from being a teenager now. I think this story might appeal most to angsty teenage girls. Keep in mind that I like romances, but this romance felt too forced.
"The Valentine Raffle" reminded me slightly of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell, though it was much more cheerful overall. The premise of the story was quickly explained, and I really felt for the main character and his intended. This was my favorite story of the three.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Mostly, since it was narrated by the author. There were a few missteps here and there, but they generally didn't detract from the stories.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
