About this listen

Miss Katherine Danvers has always been a wallflower. But now with her family on the brink of financial ruin, she finds herself a desperate wallflower. To save her family, she'll do anything. Luckily, she has the perfect plan....

She'll impress the ton by simply announcing she is engaged to the reclusive and mysterious Duke of Thornton, Alexander Masters, and secure strong matches for her sisters. No one has heard from the duke in years. Surely he'll never find out before her sisters' weddings and she can go back to her own quiet life.

Soon, though, everything is out of control. At first, it's just a few new ball gowns on the duke's accounts. Then it's interviews with reporters eager for gossip. Before she knows it, Katherine has transformed herself into Kitty Danvers, charming and clever belle of the ton - with everyone eager to meet her thankfully absent fiance.

But when the enigmatic Alexander Masters suddenly arrives in the city, dashing and oh so angry, he demands retribution. Except not in the way Katherine expected....

Contains mature themes.

This is my second time listening to this story and I love Kitti and Alexander's story just as much as the first time. The story of 2 lonely souls falling in love. It is a bit of a sad story but such a lovely story. I do love that Stacy isn't afraid to write about characters with disabilities, in this case a wheelchair.

I wish Stacy had used Madeleine Leslay (I believe that was how her name was spelt) with this series. Mary Sarah was terrible, though I do own you get used to her the narration by the end and it doesn't grate on you as much.

I own I would still listen to this audio book again, not because it's told well but because I love the story.

LOVED the story but the narrator.....terrible

This is exactly what you'd expect. Lovely story presented with an amazing performance. Loved the readers accent, was perfect for this story. This was a fabulous historical romance with a nice take on the MFC. If you like historical romance you can't go wrong with this story.

Loved this!

Great book with a story that slowly builds tension and intrigue between the characters.

The biggest negative was the narration. The cadence was odd and distracted from the story as well as the quiet whispering tone that made it difficult to hear

Great book

I didnt have too much expectation,reviews making it seemed less appealing.
However,
Im so please i jumped into such a infectious storyline with great narration in more a romantic suspense style - dont overthink the listening to find fault.

I think we just used to having Male narration bias for angsty reads.

i will relisten with keeness

Suspenseful gothic narration

Gosh where to start on the narrator. Accents that dip in and out, inconsistent voices and mispronunciations and over pronunciations that really grate. She sounds like an inconsistent Moira Rose from Schitts Creek but not in a fun way.

This narrator is shocking

I found the story enjoyable. The writing was fine, but the narration was truly awful, in a truly bizarre way. I stopped halfway through, and started reading instead of listening.

Nice story, terrible narration

This was a great story. The awkward accent and slow, overly dramatic narration really made it difficult to get through though.

Great story

I love when I’m taken on a journey and this book offers a glorious experience. Fun yet sad and serious. Easy to follow but also offers unexpected turns.
The narrative is impeccable. Mary Sarah brings to life each character to the point of hanging on every word. The whole package is truly engaging.

Funny,sensual and heartwarming

Reader accent and affected pronunciation’s detracted from story . Very difficult to get to the end because of affected reader

Poor reader
