Temperance

The Shackleford Sisters, Book 2

De: Beverley Watts

Narrado por: Deirdra Whelan, Mark Elstob

In this funny romantic series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it… Perfect for fans of funny, lighthearted Regency Romances with a little bit of steam.

Reverend Shackleford was at a loss. He'd truly believed that in marrying his eldest daughter Grace to an extremely wealthy peer of the realm, his problems would be over. But as the Reverend was now beginning to realize, it wasn't sufficient to have a wealthy Duke in the family if the daughter he was trying to marry off had the manners of a stable hand. And to Reverend Shackleford's knowledge, his second eldest daughter Temperance is the exact opposite of her name and a harpy to boot. In fact the Reverend very much feared that unless he could find someone to teach her at the very least how to hold her temper, he would be stuck with her forever. But as he was always telling his curate, the Almighty works in mysterious ways. Indeed, Reverend Shackleford believed his prayers were finally answered when he found the very person to take Temperance in hand.

I enjoy a series, the continuation of characters.

The winey voice of the earl. I almost couldn't listen. Female reader did better. I wished she had read the whole story.

Cute story awful male narrator

Good lord the male narrator ruined this story. Seriously he is stunningly bad. It made the story almost impossible to enjoy.

Decent story line and characters

Story line flowed nicely, but oh, some of the voices - a couple of the men sounds like they were actively dying, especially the preacher. temperace’s voice sounded like she was in her nineties.

The narrators were questionable.

The story was well written, interesting and funny. However, the male narrator was lacking. The female was better.

Mediocre

The male narrator’s has annoying female voices and only ok male voices. His general narrator voice is good. If his character voices were better he would be quite good.
The story itself is ok. I got this as part of the Plus Category so free. I would have given up by now and asked for a return if I had used a credit.

Loved Temperance

Temperance was so refreshing. Her outspoken, quick temper was amusing....especially since she was a Vicar's daughter. I look forward reading the rest in this series. What mischievous will the other siblings come up with?

Fun second installment in the series

Good reluctant hero, with no intention to marry. Engaging short-tempered, irritable heroine. Nice to see The Duke and Grace from the previous book playing a part in this romance. Didn’t care for the narrator at all. He made the hero sound like a foppish dandy and the all female characters spoke in falsetto.

Reading voice ruined it

I like the story and the female voice did a great job. However, the make reader did awful for Character voices. He has a pleasant narrative voice bet when he changed into character voices the male and the females were like nails on a chalkboard.

Story was ok

Nice girly story BUT the male vice and pretending voices cause me less enjoyment. The male voice was actually a great voice but not for this story.

Good Story

The narration was a little strange. it would be better acted out as a play or like a movie.
