About this listen

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 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.

Excellent Story -loved everything about the story.

Narrator very odd, an American trying to do an English accent but words mispronounced. Kitty pronounced as Kiddy, duke as dook, beating as beading, back for some reason is bock. The slow breathy voice I found irritating, but I continued to complete the book. I will be avoiding this narrator in the future.

Interesting plot, irritating narrator

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 .

Such a lovely story

Where has this author been and why have I not heard of her before? Ugh! Such a delight! The longing and yearning, the romance! I can’t. I fell in love with both the MCs and their story.

Unfortunately I hated the VA so much that even though I tried to power through it came to the point that I started listing down the words she just pronounced weirdly. She sounds like a young Moira Rose. It isn’t at all appropriate for HR and I would burst out laughing because of her reading at inopportune times.

This is what you’re going to deal with:

Back : bohck
Fascinating : fuss- si-naytng
Happening : hupning
Acting : ucting
Act : ukt
Action : uktion
Scant : scunt
Understand : uHn deh stuhnd
Fact : fuhkt
Passion : puh-shin
Silent : sigh-lunt
Perhaps : perhuh-ps
Accident : uhk-sident

Adored and LOVED the story, hated the VA.

Loving and loyal daughter who is willing to sacrifice her own happiness so that her family can achieve a happiness she has denied herself, until she meets her Duke. Excellent story, full of love

Beautiful

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!

Great story…but

Loved the content of the story but the narrator was so awful. I’m shocked this audio book was released 🙈

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 😂

Nice story, narrator can't speak English

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

poor narration
