Acerca de esta escucha
Blessed with beauty, Mrs. Manners never bothered with the lesser skills of grammar and spelling. So, in order to entrap a second husband, namely the dashing Duke of Denbigh, she needed Miss Verity Bascombe. Surely the modest chit would be honored to write her love letters.
Poor Verity! Her old schoolmate was as selfish as ever. But the lovely girl's gilded pen soon had the duke most intrigued by the poetic Mrs. Manners!
But alas, what began as a tiny deception became troublesome indeed - for Verity soon found herself enamored of the handsome duke!

Historia
Lovely Alice Lacey was a true incomparable, and her marriage to the Duke of Ferrant was the event of the season. Almost no one realized, however, that Alice was secretly in love with someone else - or that she had confided her feelings to a clever talking mynah bird who announces these intimacies at the moment of the couple's wedding. Now the gossip mongers are relentless. Alice's marriage started out, and has remained, cold and impersonal, and her new husband is already rumored to be taken with another woman.

She was a bewitching young girl, that pretty Polly Marsh, and she knew it. She also knew that beauty could be her passport into the castles where she had always known she belonged. So she set her sights on a duke and joined the firm of Westerman’s as a stenographer. Surely one of that noble family would notice her, and then all her dreams would come true! The trouble with pretty Polly Marsh was that she just didn’t know her place.

In hopes to change their course, he establishes a "marriage campaign" to motivate them to improve themselves through making respectable matches. Peter, Elliott's eldest nephew, thinks the entire idea is ridiculous. A widower with two young daughters, he simply needs a governess, not a wife.

Reviled by his family, hated by many, he's earned his reputation in the seedy streets of London and more than his fair share of bedchambers.

As a once happily married woman, Rebecca Parker lived a charmed life, but now widowed and working for a living, she feels alone and lives a mundane existence. That is until the day a valet speeding by on a horse nearly runs her off the road. Mr. Malcolm Henry is apologetic, gentle, and very handsome. She’s instantly drawn to him, which is why, rather than stopping him from kissing her, she finds herself kissing him back, reigniting a nearly forgotten passion in her. But love at first sight only happens in fairy tales—never to an ordinary woman like her.

A Bit Scandalous
This is the 3rd story I have read/heard by MC Beaton. Although I enjoy her stories, this one being a retelling of Cyrano De Bergerac, in the clever way she develops a romantic attachment of our heroine to a coveted gentlemen who thinks her someone else, I was surprised at the sensuality written in the storyline by this author.
I enjoyed the story for the most part, but was disappointed that this author lowered her clean novellas to tamper with the sensual side of romance novels.
Overall very good and the narrator did a good albeit annoying voice to most her characters.

silly but much better than first two
The narrator is much, much better than the first two books in the series. The story was frivolous and silly but the narrator read it well. A good story to take your mind off of current events or other stressors.

PLEASE LEARN TO READ THE WORDS OR LOOK THEM UP!
This reader must be faking a British accent. Grosvenor, Berkeley, rout, canary and about 5 other words REPEATEDLY MISPRONOUNCED!! what is so bad about it is that it is distracting to anyone who has ever heard these words pronounced correctly. they are not just read once. it's over and over again! I am so tired of the shoddy quality of these recordings!! Please fix this Audible! even if the readers don't care about the quality of their product, audible should.

Amusing
Light escapism not meant to be examined closely but a funny and satisfying listen as we follow the misadventures of Verity, the lovable heroine and her motley menagerie especially Pretty Polly.
The reader's Deep South United States accent intruded too often which might be more annoying in a serious listen. Still too much of an unnecessary distraction.

Cute herione and her menagerie of acquired pets
Different story line involving a parrot, cat and a dog that the heroine takes over the care of. To me, this was a little slow moving for a Chesney romance. A light listen.
