Grace

The Shackleford Sisters, Book 1

De: Beverley Watts

Narrado por: Eilidh Beaton, Mark Elstob

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

....Reverend Augustus Shackleford's mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend's opinion they didn't possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness. ....

Grievously wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar, Nicholas Sinclair was only recently returned to Blackmore after receiving news of his estranged father's unexpected death. After an absence of twenty years, the new Duke was well aware it was his duty to marry and produce an heir as quickly as possible. However, tormented by recurring nightmares after his horrific experiences during the battle, Nicholas had no taste to brave the ton's marriage mart in search of a docile obedient wife. …..

Never in his wildest dreams did Reverend Shackleford envisage receiving an offer for his eldest daughter from the new Duke of Blackmore. Of course, the Reverend was well aware he was fudging it a bit in describing Grace as respectful, meek or dutiful, nevertheless, he could never have imagined that his eldest daughter's unruliness might end up ruining them all….

Perfect for fans of funny, lighthearted Regency Romances with a little bit of steam.

pulls you in

great read, true love, intense feeling, anticipation for sure, unexpected turns with great out comes

Great story and characters

Loved story line, plot and character development. Easy to visualize as great descriptions. Hope more to follow

Decent book

Decent story. The male voice is a bad fit for a dashing male lead. And completely takes the listener out of the story and makes it sound like a fractured fairy tale, rather than a romance.

Terrible Narration Ruins Good Book

Honestly, I couldn’t make it past Chapter 5! The story is interesting but the over-acting is ridiculous, completely ruins the story. Who makes the decision to have the narrators speak in such an irritating manner?!

Romantic & Funny !!

I liked so much, I doubt there was anything I can say I disliked !
I was laughing pretty much nonstop in the end, when the Reverend, father of Grace and his right-hand man, Percy, ran around trying to come up with a plan to get his daughter & her husband, the Duke, back together ! It was great, and free as well !! A rare find !

meh

Storyline was predictable, but if you're just looking for a cotton candy romance, this will do the job. The male narrator's performance is over the top cheesy but, then again, so is the story overall, so it kind of fits.

FYI, this book does contain one explicitly descriptive scene. This didn't impact my overall rating of the story, but some readers may want to know in advance.

Unique Regencey story

Not as hilarious as other reviews lead you to believe. But, an entertaining story. Great voices for the different characters.
