A Dangerous Engagement

The Regency Spies of London, Book 3

By: Melanie Dickerson

Narrated by: Anna Parker-Naples

Just as merchant's daughter Felicity Mayson is spurned once again because of her meager dowry, she receives an unexpected invitation to Lady Blackstone's country home. Being introduced to the wealthy Oliver Ratley is an admitted delight, as is his rather heedless yet inviting proposal of marriage. Only when another of Lady Blackstone's handsome guests catches Felicity's attention does she realize that nothing is what it seems at Doverton Hall.

Government agent Philip McDowell is infiltrating a group of cutthroat revolutionaries led by none other than Lady Blackstone and Ratley. Their devious plot is to overthrow the monarchy, and their unwitting pawn is Felicity. Now Philip needs Felicity's help in discovering the rebels' secrets - by asking her to maintain cover as Ratley's innocent bride-to-be.

Philip is duty bound. Felicity is game. Together they're risking their lives - and gambling their hearts - to undo a traitorous conspiracy before their dangerous masquerade is exposed.

Love all of her books

Can’t wait till a new series comes out! The reading is always exciting with never slow boring moments and not overly dramatic that it isn’t realistic. Jude Mason’s voice is one of my favorites.

Beautiful love story

It was a wonderful story line, intriguing, suspenseful, and very intense at times. My only dislike was the female voice of Felicity. I had to keep slowing down the speed so that she didn’t sound like Shirley Temple or Minnie Mouse. All the other voices were okay, it was only when she spoke. Once I slowed her to 0.9. It was better.

Another Melanie Dickerson Fairytale

I love Melanie Dickerson's writing. This historical romance is set in the 1810s. She continues the story with Julia and Liora's friend Felicity finding her own adventure and romance even though she has no dowry. The author kept me in suspense as to how and when Felicity would be rescued.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved this book! It kept me on the edge of my seat! This author is amazing! I try to listen to as many of her books as I can! I have really enjoyed this series so far. I hope she writes more!

Narration and God

I wasn't a fan of the narrator. Her feminine voice was very hard to distinguish between individuals and all the women ended up sounding a bit like ninny's. As far as the story goes I don't remember the other 2 books having so much praying and talk of God. It's not that I am not religious, it just started to sound a little ridiculous. Maybe it maybe I'm just not in tune with those times like I should be.

A wonderland spy novel

This book captured my attention from the beginning and held me captive until the very end. Thank you, Melanie, for penning such an entertaining book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Loved the story, not my favorite narrator

The story was wonderful. I enjoyed this series a lot. One of my favorite authors. The narration of the male voices is not my favorite.

Is it a romance or action? It failed at both.

The reader's voice was irritatingly high. There was such dumb romance interspersed with some unbelievable action. Ugh

Lots of Suspense

Of all the books in this series (so far), this has the most suspense. Lots of tense moments. Awesome narration.

The best of the series

After having listened to all three books I can honestly say the story and the characters in this book were fantastic. The story has a good pace and is well developed. I think the narrator did a great job on this book. On the two previous books it had taken me some time to get use to her and enjoy her performance, especially her male voices. However, this book was quite different and I thought her performance and her ability to stay in role for each character was excellent! Great Job and a good clean listen to all those who enjoy a adventurous romantic read!
