The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy

By: Mackenzi Lee

Narrated by: Moira Quirk

In this highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, Felicity Montague must use all her womanly wits and wiles to achieve her dreams of becoming a doctor—even if she has to scheme her way across Europe to do it. A must-have for fans of Mackenzi Lee’s extraordinary and Stonewall Honor-winning novel.

A year after an accidentally whirlwind grand tour with her brother Monty, Felicity Montague has returned to England with two goals in mind—avoid the marriage proposal of a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh and enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough in the eyes of the administrators, who see men as the sole guardians of science.

But then a window of opportunity opens—a doctor she idolizes is marrying an old friend of hers in Germany. Felicity believes if she could meet this man he could change her future, but she has no money of her own to make the trip. Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity’s way, so long as she’s allowed to travel with Felicity disguised as her maid.

In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl’s true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that leads them from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic.

Best of 2018

We thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the narration. We're left earnestly hoping for another book in the series.

Felicity is wonderful

I like that she has the courage to pursue her dreams and that she doesn’t accept the easy way out of trouble. The marriage proposal she refuses would have made her and the young man terribly unhappy in the long run. I think she will be quite happy and challenged living the life of a pirate.

Great Book

Loved the reader, great voices. Story was fun, engaging and had great twist and turns. Did not disappoint and look forward to more.

Another Home Run!

The sequel to The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue did not disappoint. I loved Monty and Percy so much, so I did initially worry about what I would do without them. But, it turns out that Felicity is just as witty and endearing as the two of them. Full of adventure and girl power, this is the perfect companion to book 1 and leaves me excited for the 3rd book next!

Audio book narrator was outstanding!

Beautiful, funny and full of twists

Very well written story. If you loved Monty and Percys story than you will love Felicity, Johannas and Simms story! Full of twist and women who are heroic in those challenging times.
