Summary
Miss Katherine Danvers has always been a wallflower. But now with her family on the brink of financial ruin, she finds herself a desperate wallflower. To save her family, she'll do anything. Luckily, she has the perfect plan....
She'll impress the ton by simply announcing she is engaged to the reclusive and mysterious Duke of Thornton, Alexander Masters, and secure strong matches for her sisters. No one has heard from the duke in years. Surely he'll never find out before her sisters' weddings and she can go back to her own quiet life.
Soon, though, everything is out of control. At first, it's just a few new ball gowns on the duke's accounts. Then it's interviews with reporters eager for gossip. Before she knows it, Katherine has transformed herself into Kitty Danvers, charming and clever belle of the ton - with everyone eager to meet her thankfully absent fiance.
But when the enigmatic Alexander Masters suddenly arrives in the city, dashing and oh so angry, he demands retribution. Except not in the way Katherine expected....
Contains mature themes.

Excellent Story -loved everything about the story.
Excellent Story with brilliant characters that are compelling. I wanted them to succeed and therefore over looked the narrator's intonation and commentary at the beginning of each chapter.

Such a lovely story
A re telling of A beauty and the beast and charmingly re written .
I so loved the duke and kitty,s tale it was so beautiful and endearing.I was slightly put off by the narration as A became R in all the wrong places there is no R in back and many more ….but the story is so lovely I managed to ignore it .Loved the sweetness of kitty , the romance and the passion just so good , so overall I enjoyed it .

Great story…but
It was a really thoughtful story with excellent characters. The narrator was TERRIBLE and I almost quit the book several times. Pronunciation is bad; the uptick at the end of each sentence unnecessary - almost ruined the book!

Nice story, narrator can't speak English
Like this story which is beauty and the beast meets Jane eyre (fire scarred beast saved by the love of beauty). Stacy Reid writes well and characterisation is usually sure footed. As an English person I have to say the narration drove me nuts. The vowel a is pronounced ah throughout. Thus, perhaps becomes perhahps, Katherine Kahtherine, etc. The worst offender was back (pronounced bahck throughout). Given that bahck can be understood as bark this led to some quite funny lines. The preponderance of the a vowel in english meant I couldn't escape ah-dom. Ruined an otherwise enjoyable tale. We really don't speak like this, not even in the world of Oxford English and received pronunciation. I'm going to stick to the book and leave ah-dom for the birds 😂

poor narration
agree with all previous reviews regarding narration, perhaps their journey would have been smoother if he wasn't barking at her?

Love the story, hate the narrator
It’s all in the title. I really enjoyed the characters and story but Christ of the narrator is infuriating in her pronunciation of certain words. While I listened to it all I think I would have enjoyed the book more with a different narrator. A couple of examples of the infuriating pronunciation: act is pronounced like oct and back is pronounced more like the composer Bach. Not sure if it’s in an attempt of sounding posh but it doesn’t work

Please redo the narration
This is one of my favourite stories so I was excited to listen to it but boy oh boy that narrator really torn it to shreds. I thought it was a French person trying to get rid of their accent. Too jarring. The FC is a great character and she makes her sound whinny.

Good story line but can’t stand the narrator.
Disliked the narrator I don’t think she is English as she mispronounces so many words and uses such a flat uninteresting tone. She made a good story boring

A lovely story reined
If you can manage to plow through the dreadful narration you'll find a lovely romance.
I could sort 9f handle the breathiness but not saying simple words properly us just unforgettable.
Mary Sarah would repeated say barck (back), larp (lap) and others the same.
I will never but a another book narrated by her.
Thanks you Stacy for a beautiful story.
