Scandal in Spring

The Wallflowers, Book 4

De: Lisa Kleypas

Narrado por: Mary Jane Wells

Quirky and fun-loving American heiress Daisy Bowman is the last unmarried Wallflower. Her exasperated father has informed her that if she can’t find a husband by the end of her third London season, she will be forced to marry a man she hates—the ruthless entrepreneur Matthew Swift.

Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, so she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone . . . anyone . . . other than Matthew. What she doesn’t count on, however, is Matthew’s unexpected charm, or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.

But when a scandalous secret is uncovered, it could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy’s wildest fantasies.

Decent story but…

Having A non American narrator try American accents is disturbing. In this one a Boston accent comes across like a Brooklyn gangster. Annoying in the extreme. This I have heard from a number of them and really ruins the narration.

Love This Series

I have listened to this series 3 times because I love it so much. BUT...the the male American accents in this audioboom are horrendous and are painful to listened to. I force myself to stick with it for the series but I hate this particular one.

Bad American accents

Story is engaging as the "Wallflowers” story continues. Unfortunately, the narrator has underwhelming Boston and New York (American) accents. In fact it was quite distracting at times.

Sardonic

Author overuses the word sardonic too much in this series. Once you hear it, you can't stop hearing it.

Great story

As always, the story is excellent, witty, amusing, beautifully written. I just have to say that the narrator really needs to work on her American accent and it’s sort of ruins the flow of the book a little bit. When she narrates English men and women she always gives beautiful inflection and character to their voices. The Americans in this book would actually sound more English for the time period, but even if they had modern day American accents they sound way too flat, harsh, and at times monotone and angry, than real Americans.
