Chastity

The Shackleford Sisters, Book 7

De: Beverley Watts

Narrado por: Nicky Griffiths, Alan Medcroft, Eilidh Beaton, Mark Elstob

In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it…

In the eyes of her family, Chastity Shackleford was impulsive, flighty, overly emotional and inclined to sentimental overtures. All in all, a disaster waiting to happen should she accept the Duke of Blackmore's offer of a Season in London. But what else was she to do since her twin sister and best friend had abandoned her for the wilds of Cornwall?

Naturally she might have hoped that disaster had waited a little longer before striking, but at least she faced the possibility of marriage with someone who had all his own teeth. The fact that the gentleman was also wanted for murder was a little off-putting, but then one couldn't have everything.

When Christian Stanhope was forced to jump ship after being accused of a crime he didn't commit, he'd never expected to return to England. But then he'd never expected to become the next Earl of Cottesmore either.

However, if he was to survive the merciless world of England's aristocracy, clearing his name was essential. And for that he needed the help of his former First Lieutenant Nicholas Sinclair, now the Duke of Blackmore. But first he had to convince the Duke that he was not guilty of a heinous murder committed seventeen years earlier. A task easier said than done.

But just when he despaired of ever finding the real culprit and bringing him to justice, help, or possibly hindrance, arrived from an unexpected quarter…

Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam...

The Shackleford girls

The Reverend Shackleford was a delight as were each of his daughters. The narration is probably the best I have heard especially the man’s voice of the reverend. Too bad he only had 8 daughters, but whenever I need a good laugh I just start the series over. The cleric Percy was almost as funny as the reverend. Awesome series!

Humorous, Original Tale

I beleve it was my favorite of the Shackleford Sisters Series. It was full of heroes and villains and had a story within a story.

Laugh Out Loud Funny

This was a funny and adventurous addition to the series. I honestly can’t wait for the next installment.

Hilarious

I am partial to funny stories and Beverley Watts is an author you can depend upon to deliver books with delightful characters and laugh out loud antics. Just a few months ago, I saw an ad for her books on Facebook with comments from readers about her humor. The situations are improbable and silly, and there are always dastardly bad guys to overcome. I love it!Endlessly funny, the books are full of early 19th Century English curses and epithets, as hysterical as they are expressive. The narration is fantastic with perfect accents and comic timing. I love these books.

A disappointing book in the series

This book was not only too short but poorly written as well. There is no character development of Chastity or Christian. The ending was rushed and hard to follow. Such a disappointment after pre-ordering. More like a weak novella than a book and really turned me
Off of pre-ordering from Audible without getting more info about the books as well as reviews. I am not happy.
