Charity

The Shackleford Sisters, Book 6

De: Beverley Watts

Narrado por: Andrew Wincott, Eilidh Beaton, Kris Dyer, Mark Elstob, Naomi Frederick

In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it…

While Charity Shackleford might be considered far more outspoken than her twin sister Chastity, she was much less inclined to make a complete cake of herself. Something her twin appeared to be doing with increasing regularity.

Indeed, when details of Chastity's latest faux pas threatened to travel beyond the confines of Blackmore, it appeared that removing her from the vicinity was the only answer. Naturally, as always, Grace, the eldest daughter and current Duchess of Blackmore was tasked with picking up the pieces.

Unfortunately, just as she was about to inform their father of her intention to take Chastity for a short holiday to their sister Faith in Torquay, the Reverend was unexpectedly called upon to attend his curate's sadly dying mother. Firmly of the opinion that their father could not be trusted to stay out of mischief long enough to give anybody the last rites, Grace instructed Charity to accompany him.

On reaching the trading port of Dartmouth, Charity quickly learned that nothing was as it seemed. Indeed, she discovered her sister's worst fears were well founded as she, her father and Percy found themself embroiled in a long-standing conspiracy involving smuggling and murder.

Only the arrival of the mysterious Jago Carlyon stood between them and the infamous leader of the Hope Cove smuggling ring. Struggling to fight her undeniable attraction to the handsome Cornishman, Charity had to decide whether he could be trusted with her heart, or more importantly her life.

Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam...

Another Historic Romp

I am a huge fan of this series with its cast of hilarious characters and liberal use of saucy idioms, comical expressions and common epithets from 19th. Century England. I am not sure whether to call these stories mysteries or adventures, but they are certainly romances featuring the clever Shackleford sisters and their handsome beaux. Author Beverley Watts writes another series that picks up where this one leaves off, and she assures me it is also very funny. Good. I'll listen to the rest of this series first.
The narrators are terrific, making the audiobook an easy choice.

Wonderfully Engaging

The characters are lovable, the stories are unpredictable and keep you wanting to hear more. This is a lighthearted, wonderful series of happiness and mishaps.

Heartwarming and humorous

This series is entertaining and delightfully not predictable. I like how the author builds on the characters in each book.

Charity’s character

It doesn’t drag at any point. Some books lose momentum in the middle, but this one moves along nicely!
