Resumen del Editor

“One of the finest romance authors of all time.” (Julia Quinn)

New York Times best-selling author Loretta Chase follows her historical romance gem, Silk is for Seduction (nominated for 2011 Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Regency-Set Historical Romance) with yet another winner.

This time, Scandal Wears Satin, as the second sister from a somewhat scandalous aristocratic family - the purveyors of one of London’s most fashionable shops - finds passion and a love as sumptuous as the gorgeous gowns she creates.

Superstar romance author Susan Elizabeth Phillips says Loretta Chase has “a rare talent for creating crackling sexual tension and characters so fresh and compelling that readers won’t be able to forget them.”

Chase fans, as well as Stephanie Laurens and Julia Quinn listeners, will most assuredly agree - especially when they meet feisty Sophy and the rakish earl whose help (and heart) she enlists in order to win the patronage of a dowager lady.

Enjoyable

While I am very pleased with this series I do have one suggestion. Please refrain from using the word said after each character speaks. Fortunately Kate Reading does a remarkable job of saying the he/she saids very softly.
Usually when an author uses the word said to extreme I will not try another product of theirs.
Loretta Chase’s books, with the assistance of Kate Reading, will not fall into the avoid category!

Entertaining story

I enjoyed the story. The narrator was fantastic. The only negative, the “he said/ she said “ was making me crazy. I noticed that in the first book, but it was worse in the second funny I didn’t notice that when I actually read the box the first time.

Witty and comical

I really enjoyed this scheme of a romance. I was laughing and intrigued the entire time.

Excellent listening - but WAY too long

Loretta Chase and Kate Reading once again created a masterpiece. LC is a brilliant story teller and just as brilliant at developing complex and likeable characters. KR is just as brilliant at interpreting LC's story and giving life and interest to the characters.

A Frothy Delight

I enjoyed this installment of the Dressmakers much more than the first one. it is even more enjoyable after reading Dukes Prefer Blondes and knowing what eventually happens with Clara. I love the Dressmaker series because they are full of historical details and have wonderful settings, secondary characters and plots. And L Chase was in very fine form as a writer with this series.

Longmore and Sophie really grew on me with second and third readings. They are so unlike most of her other couples--not carrying huge emotional burdens, just two people dealing with an attraction that turns into love, surprising them both. It was refreshing to read Chase write a simpler, but no less exciting, romance. As usual, she brings depths of feeling to it all and it was very genuine and sweet in the end.

Loretta Chikani aka Chase is simply the best writer of historical romance, hands down, bar none. Her knowledge of the Regency Era puts all other pretenders to the throne to shame. This novel alone is master class in the genre, and it's not even the best in the series.

The great Kate Reading is especially good for the whole Dressmaker series, but this one had her use her French accent too much, which drives me crazy as did the "he said, she said." Hence, I deduct one star. Otherwise, perfection.

Witty

I didn't think I'd like the Dressmakers trilogy, but I should have known better. The narrator dis a great job capturing the H and even better job capturing the h. Now, on to book 3!

Fun HR

The banter between the two main characters is hilarious. A thoroughly enjoyable listen.
The narrator does a great job conveying emotion.

Delightful!

This is the 2nd book in the Dressmakers series and it is a delightful read so much so that I could not stop listening to it. It continues right after the ending of the first book and is just as funny and enjoyable. The narrator is perfection and I looking forward the the third book in this series. 🤓

romantic comedy
