About this listen

Identity theft, regency style

After the death of her miserly cousin Antony North, Millicent Boarder is determined her family should never be poor or vulnerable again. To protect them, she conceals her cousin's death and assumes his identity. Now she must face the ton and the world as Mr. North and accept the price she must pay for her family's safety - she will never be loved.

Which means now is the perfect time for her to meet a duke!

TERRIBLE narrator

I'm sorry, Ms Beresford, but it's true.

I enjoy this book - why else would I purchase the audio book? - but the performance is awful.

Robotic delivery and mispronunciation abound. It spoils the book. Instead of getting involved in the tale, one is continually correcting pronunciation and wishing someone - ANYONE - else was narrating because there's no humour, no suspense, no emotion whatsoever. Gaps when there should be smooth telling, it's a dire performance. I recommend listening to (and learning FROM) Rosalyn Landor if Ms Beresford wishes to pursue this career.

Great story except for the sex scenes

The story was imaginative with lots of twits and turns which kept me listening. The only thing that spoilt it was the sex scenes way to many and explicit!! It spoils the story I had to keep moving it forward to miss those parts

Deloghtful Romp

An enjoyable tale with many a twist and turn, full of laughs and a delightful way to pass the time. Could only have been better with a stronger voiced narrator an less sex.

exceptional. the writing, wit, situations and characterisation head and shoulders above most of these regency books.

Love this story

An amusing and entertaining Romance. I particularly liked the character of Millicent, an unusually excellent heroine. Contrary to some other reviews I found the narration perfectly satisfactory, unlike a few others I have listened to

Too Many Words NOT Pronounced Correctly

The Reader has a good voice, and too, each character.

BUT, too many words were not pronounced correctly, Though, I believe, the Reader MAY be British, and not American, so No American Style of speech, to give a reason words COULD be pronounced not quite right.

Terrific Romp

Loved this book. And enjoyed the audio. Gender swap allowed a strong 'female' character to emerge in regency England. Very funny and plot sufficiently congruent to ignore some of the more ridiculous aspects. Recommended

I laughed, chuckled and enjoyed

The author has a wonderful sense of humour, dry wit and the characters were believable. Great book to read or listen to. I have to admit I've never laughed as much in places in all the books I've read. Thankyou

Regency Romp par excellence

Flawlessly performed and a great deal of laugh out loud fun. I enjoyed it enormously.

Really good listen. Definitely recommend it.

The narration (although I had to speed up quite a bit) was excellent, male and female voices were both very good.
The story itself was also surprisingly good, it had only 3 other reviews when I bought it so it was a bit risky but I’m very pleased I took the chance.
