An Engagement of Sorts

De: Alene Wecker

Narrado por: Shakira Shute

Much to her mother’s dismay, spirited Anne Fletcher spent her youth seeking her father’s approval by hunting and riding. More comfortable in breeches than ball gowns, Anne sees the freedoms she once enjoyed slowly taken from her in the name of fashioning her into an eligible young lady. When her parents try to force her into marriage, Anne makes a desperate attempt to salvage her last vestige of independence. If she is to marry, she will do so on her own terms.

Anne strikes a deal: If she cannot secure a man for herself, she will agree to marry the husband her parents approved. She soon finds herself in the last place she would ever choose — that stifling parade of etiquette, the London Season. Anne’s plan is in motion. Now all she needs is a man willing to masquerade as her fiancé.

Fun story, not sure about the narrator

I enjoyed this story and I think the narrator, for the most part, was good. But there was something in the way she voiced the men in this audiobook. Not one of the voices was appealing. And it was somewhat shocking who the Hero ended up being, because of the way she did his voice. He sounded like a cad throughout the book. Still, the story was good.

A very pleasant book

I got this as a break from multi book epic sagas and too explicit romances. It was just what I was looking for. An engaging story!

A Standout Regency Romance

Beautiful and intelligently written narrative reminiscent of a Jane Austen novel, as opposed to a standard regency romance with the same trite phrases repeated again and again. Robust characters, including a strong female lead, causing the reader to cheer her on at every page turn. A beautiful love story with intrigue, humor, and charm. I look forward to reading more by Alene Wecker.

Romantic fun

This story shows how although we might be a thorn in someone’s side. We are still the apple of another’s eye.
