Miss Newbury's List

De: Megan Walker

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

England, 1820

Rosalind Newbury is counting down the days until her wedding to the Duke of Marlow, a man she has only met twice. The marriage is more an agreement between two families and less a romantic connection between two hearts, but Rosalind becoming a duchess will elevate her family’s status to dizzying heights. And the duke is a kind man who will care for Rosalind, even if he doesn’t love her.

She only has three weeks before her life changes forever, and she knows exactly how she wants to spend her days. As a child, Ros was inspired by her adventurous Aunt Alice and created a list of ten things to do before her wedding day. So far, Ros has done none of them.

She is determined to tackle each item, though she’ll have to accomplish them all in secret. After all, a soon-to-be-duchess is not usually allowed to bury treasure in the pasture, eat sweets all day, or learn how to swim. She enlists the help of her best friend, Liza, who brings along her cousin, Charlie, a prodigal son-turned-boxer who has come to the countryside to mend his reputation and learn how to be his father’s heir.

Together, the three of them work to complete the list, and as each item is crossed off, an unlikely friendship blossoms between Ros and Charlie. The more time they spend together, the more Ros falls in love with this imperfect man and his good heart.

With the wedding looming, Ros must decide to either admit her romantic feelings for Charlie and risk her family’s future, or keep her promise to marry the duke and start a new life as a noblewoman.

Another great Proper Romance from Megan!

First, I have to say, I love Justine Eyres narration. I think that she is great at differentiating the voices and I adore her reading style.
Second, I think Megan is exceptional at writing family bonds, bonds between friends, and romantic relationships.

Loved it

Fun story. I loved everything about this book: the writing, characters, plot, and the narration by Justine Eyre. Can’t wait for more from Megan Walker.

Enjoyable book

Great narration. Very enjoyable book. I’ve enjoyed the 3 books I’ve listened to from this author.

Great Family Values

Great idea for heroine of the story and for writing about the family support members should all expect. How much better we all would be with families like this. Just when I thought I knew what was coming next, the author changed it up and made the story a bit better.

I was not completely happy with the narrator's voice, but her reading and inflection s were quite good. I did enjoy this book very much.

Loved it!

Sweet love story. Loved how the main characters matured and came to love each other.

The epilogue closed the story beautifully.

Recommended audiobook.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this latest book by Megan Walker! Loved the witty banter and the swoony romance! Justine Eyre did a great job narrating.

Lovely

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I thought it would be predictable, but I was wrong and the story hooked me right away

Interesting story line

Interesting read, but narration not my favorite. Like the plot line of completing list before marriage.

Totally Delightful!

This book is charming from start to finish. It makes you smile, chuckle and sit on the edge of your seat in suspense. I loved every word and highly recommend it to those looking for a story with fun, adventure, romance and love.

Wonderful book; poor narrator.

I loved the book. It was a fun story and would have been an easy listen. The narrator is not great. It is a terrible choice for narration for the voice of what should be a very young woman recently out into society. The book as a whole should be 4/5 stars, but I would give the narration choice 1/2 stars.
