About this listen
In this funny romantic series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it…
....Reverend Augustus Shackleford's mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend's opinion they didn't possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness. ....
Grievously wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar, Nicholas Sinclair was only recently returned to Blackmore after receiving news of his estranged father's unexpected death. After an absence of twenty years, the new Duke was well aware it was his duty to marry and produce an heir as quickly as possible. However, tormented by recurring nightmares after his horrific experiences during the battle, Nicholas had no taste to brave the ton's marriage mart in search of a docile obedient wife. …..
Never in his wildest dreams did Reverend Shackleford envisage receiving an offer for his eldest daughter from the new Duke of Blackmore. Of course, the Reverend was well aware he was fudging it a bit in describing Grace as respectful, meek or dutiful, nevertheless, he could never have imagined that his eldest daughter's unruliness might end up ruining them all….
Perfect for fans of funny, lighthearted Regency Romances with a little bit of steam.

A romantic escapade with lots of laughs
I loved this book from the very first chapter. The pompous Rev Augustus Shackleford and his robust family of 8 children. Seven of whom are blasted daughters that he wants off his hands and into some unsuspecting man’s hands, preferably rich titled ones.
As we follow the torrid tale of Grace and Nicholas, we encounter accidents, missteps and misunderstandings. even taking into account the inept interference from Augustus and his cleric Percy which often ends badly regardless of good intentions we do have a happy ending for this well matched pair. I am looking forward to reading and listening to the stories of the younger sisters in this rumbustious family

Not that good and not that funny!
Although read by 2 narrators male/female, to be honest I wasn’t really impressed by the male…
I’m toying with the idea of reading/listening to the next in the series - Temperance - to see if it improves. Thank goodness for the Kindle Unlimited/Audible discount.

Quite good
Although quite a predictable ending to the story, it was good. With regard to the narrative I found the female voice pleasant but the male voice frustrated me.

A quick period romance - with a few laughs along the way too!
Loved the narration and the ‘period’ of it all. Almost like a mini-Mills & Boone speeded up! Would have liked a bit more character-depth, and at times, it felt a little too rushed. Lots of fun thrown in though, which made me LOL at times so overall I enjoyed this read.

An entertaining book
I enjoyed this book although I sometimes found the male narrator a bit over the top wirh the vicar's voice and the Duke's was a bit harsh and didn't really match his physical description, however, his Scottish accent was excellent.
I will certainly listen to the rest of the sister's stories as they come along

Love it 😍
Great narration, nice short audible. I'm quite giddy to hear about the other sister how and who the father will choose

Entertaining
Listened to the second in this series first because this audiobook was listed separate to the series. The second book has a better storyline then the first but the narration made up for the story. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but found it extremely funny the male doing the female voices and when he does Percy’s.
Well worth a listen for the entertainment alone. Will be getting the next one when it’s out.
