The Shackleford Sisters Book 8

De: Beverley Watts

Narrado por: Hannah Hedley, Mark Elstob, Alan Medcroft, Eilidh Beaton

In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it…
Prudence Shackleford had not expected to be a spinster at three and twenty, but unfortunately, as she’d quickly discovered, very few men were prepared to tolerate either her ghoulish sense of humour, or her macabre taste in literature. And those were the ones she’d got as far as holding a conversation with.

When invited to London by the Duke and Duchess of Blackmore to witness the Coronation of King George IV, she was equal parts horrified and intrigued. Especially after a chance meeting with a Bow Street Runner on the trail of conspirators it was feared were planning to murder the King.

Jamie Fitzroy had been a Bow Street Runner for five years. In that time he’d risen swiftly up the ranks, gaining a reputation for both ruthlessness and guile. Such were his successes in ridding London's streets of thieves and murderers, his name had become almost legendary.

But in the wake of the Cato Street Conspiracy, he was now on the trail of a gang intending to assassinate the King during his own Coronation. And with less than two weeks to go, and a London packed to bursting, the stakes had never been higher.

The last thing he had time for was a russet haired chit who was too ripe and ready by half – even if she did haunt his dreams every night…

Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...©2023 Beverley Watts (P)2024 W. F. Howes Ltd

The Shackleford sisters

I recommend every book in this series "The Shackleford sisters". The narration is supposed to be hilariously funny and it hits the mark every time!! Grace Temperance, Faith, Hope, Patience, Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Anthony marriage adventures are all interesting and Captivating. FANTASTICALLY FABULOUS!!!!

The families love for all!

Outstanding! Love the family for their courage to be authentic and share their love and abundance!

how families are together

love story set in this time period, talks about how love and how family was or is important

Cute story-awful male narrator

I couldn't take the male narrator (mainly does the voice for the Rev but sometimes butchers the female characters as well). Think I'll just read the final book in the series bc I can't take another narration by him. It ruins the entire story-I end up fast forwarding through his narration.

The mystery

The romance was enjoyable. The mystery was filled with intrigue. Very enjoyable read. The dogs in the story made it even more interesting.
