Mask of Duplicity

The Jacobite Chronicles, Book 1

By: Julia Brannan

Narrated by: Rosalyn Landor, Will M. Watt

Following the death of their father, Beth's brother, Richard, returns from the army to claim his share of the family estate. However, Beth's hopes of a quiet life are dashed when Richard, dissatisfied with his meager inheritance and desperate for promotion, decides to force her into a marriage for his military gain. He will stop at nothing to get his way.

Beth is coerced into a reconciliation with her noble cousins in order to marry well and escape her brutal brother. She is then thrown into the glittering social whirl of Georgian high society and struggles to conform. The effeminate but witty socialite Sir Anthony Peters offers to ease her passage into society, and she is soon besieged by suitors eager to get their hands on her considerable dowry.

Beth, however, wants love and passion for herself and to break free from the artificial life she is growing to hate. She finds herself plunged into a world where nothing is as it seems and everyone hides behind a mask.

Can she trust the people professing to care for her?

IN LOVE!! I WANT MORE!!😍😍😍

I was ONLY disappointed at the end. I want more of the story and wish the whole series was all here to listen to.

1-4 amazing 5and 6 read below

Loved these books! But listener beware: books 1-4 are narrated by the same person. Books 5 and 6 have a different female voice. Loved the first 4 books and the team of narrators. They worked really well together. The lady in books 5 and 6 sounds like she is reading a vampire novel. I may have to buy the hard copy of the books to get through the last two. The author is really good. My review is mainly of the last two books.

Enjoyed

I liked this book it is very well written and even better narration . I enjoy the dual narration. I wish all historical novels were read like this. Well worth the read or listen.

Very good but a little too long

I really liked the story line even though Beth drove me nuts and I wanted to shake her for being so rude to the one man trying to help her the most. I feel it was a little long and found myself thinking of other things while listening. I’d mostly focus back in with Will M watt’s voice. I actually found this series by looking for another book narrated by Mr Watt who is becoming one of my favorites. His performances are incredible with his ability to perfect different accents and have drawn me in like a moth to a flame. Ok so yeah I have a crush and actually get excited when I find another good book he’s narrated.

Outstanding!

The story is excellent and the narration so well done. The different voices that Will Watt does are so great! Hilarious at times. Amazing talent!
