This was fun!

Loved the story! Lots of unexpected twists! Good and lovable characters. It felt like a good story, paced well.

Good in series

I liked this story, characters fell into place in the storyline nicely. Just the nature of the story made me getting uptight during the progression of uncomfortable situations. The ending was good, I hoped for the outcome but of course it took awhile to get there. It would have been nice if Mr. Peterson and his eventual bride would have taken the fall for the night time scandalous rendezvous for which Mrs. Wellington & the Marquee took the hit for, then saving Mrs.
Wellington’s reputation since they too were meeting secretly but that was not written into the story. Oversight opportunity to bring more good guys & depth by the author I think,

Poor Narrator

I was looking forward to listening to this audiobook because the storyline seemed like something I would really like; however, the narrator I just could not get past the narration. I started the book twice but never got past the third chapter.

Love prevails!

I am enjoying the series and this story did not disappoint. The author does a great job of weaving all the characters together and storylines are captivating. The narrator does a great job too. On to the next!

Enjoyable

I wanted a more realistic regency romance and this was it. Sweet and yes slow majority of the story takes place over the long period of a house party.

A rollercoaster ride

The story was well crafted. The house guests and the plot had more turns and twists than a rollercoaster.

secrets, chances, and misunderstandings

This story has a heroine to be pitied and applauded. Her basic character and courage win out overall, and true love is the prize. As chances are taken, misunderstandings complicate matters, and secrets come to light, the characters are shown for their true natures. Having learned from the past, our heroine seizes her desired future. The epilogue is merely the start of a separate story.

Not a fan of the reading

The book was read with a distractingly forced British accent. Made it difficult to listen to more than a chapter at a time.

keeps you guessing.....

about what will happen next. Lots of twists and turns. The narrator is growing on me.

A Good Continuation of the Series

I enjoy the world the author builds upon in this series. This was a fun continuation from the previous book. I like how the characters we have come to know are significantly featured instead of just making cameo appearances for the sake of continuity. I did not enjoy this heroine, however. She is foolish and prideful yet convinces herself she is a martyr for her younger sister’s benefit. I wanted to snap some sense into her silly head. Ugh!

I do not understand the bad reviews of the narrator. She is a favorite of mine. She reads with colorful eloquence and when a character is dim witted like our heroine here, there is no mistaking the depths of the dullness. Mary Sarah is definitely a performance artist and has a voice that rings like a bell.
