Regrettably, I am About to Cause Trouble

De: Amie McNee

Narrado por: Amie McNee

1535, Oxfordshire.

Lady Maude Shaftsberry has it all sorted. She will marry the well-connected lord, ascend the ranks of the Tudor court, and be mother to a small battalion of boys. But Maude has a secret that she carries everywhere: a birthmark that stretches over her stomach and between her legs. Is it a mark of fertility? Did her mother rub her pregnant belly too vigorously on the full moon? Or is it the sign of a witch?

Her new husband is certain it's the latter. Maude, faced with annulment and the nunnery, must make her own way.

The witches in town are the only ones who will give her refuge, but staying in the apothecary comes at a price. She must help and assist the witches. Surrounded by potions, star charts, and a fairy who appears to be a very large and handsome man who helps around the house, Maude begins to realize there is a strange and seductive power in being outcast.

Regrettably, I am About to Cause Trouble is a tale about being ostracised, and finding our power and family in unusual places.

Fun and engaging

What’s great listen! Maude is a relatable and lovable character. I will look for more books from this author.

Perfect!!

I rarely give 5 stars but this was such a delight. The humor is effortless and constant, the story completely compelling, and the delivery is spot on. I was equally cackling and riveted, and am only sad that there’s not more for me to read. I’d follow Maud and her family for an endless series. So, so well done. A perfect balance of lighthearted and tender, with genuinely compelling character development. More please!!

Loved it!!

Super fun and loved the back drop of King Henry's court. is there another? I really am wandering what happens next!!

Great pace, delightful story, drips with intrigue

I’ve not enjoyed a book this much in ages! The pace clipped right along, story dripping with intrigue, the twists and turns. I had my hanky out in some places and fell off my chair laughing in others. Thank you, Aimee, for this delightful story! I even looked up the historical references and love how you wiggled this story in place!

The fun look at how sometimes what we think is the wrong path is the way we should go.

A playful and entertaining story. The characters were fun and the exploration of how we sometimes stumble or fall into the right life path resonated with me. Witty and well written, I have already recommended it to friends. The narration is done well although sometimes I thought it had paused between chapters…Overall I enjoyed my foray into this story.
