Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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.

Predictible story but fun

I really found the narration terrible. Almost stopped listening it annoyed me so much. Male voices especially poorly done.

Cute story

I love a good regency romance. This story was really cute and I like the way it ended and a couple of surprises.

Enjoyable story

Overall, I enjoyed the second book in the series. There were some chuckles and headshaking moments. I do wish, however, that the male narrator had used a deeper and more distinguished voice. I thought he came across very harsh for some characters.. I didn’t really enjoy his depiction. Maybe he was trying to come across as funny for those characters? The female narrator could have read the whole book and did all of the voices. I believe I would’ve enjoyed it more.

Crass

Could have been a really good story if she had put as much detail in the story line as she did in the sexual details. Crass language. I would be asking for a credit refund, but luckily this one was free.
