About this listen

Quirky and fun-loving American heiress Daisy Bowman is the last unmarried Wallflower. Her exasperated father has informed her that if she can’t find a husband by the end of her third London season, she will be forced to marry a man she hates - the ruthless entrepreneur Matthew Swift.

Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, so she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone...anyone...other than Matthew. What she doesn’t count on, however, is Matthew’s unexpected charm, or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.

But when a scandalous secret is uncovered, it could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy’s wildest fantasies.

Decent story but…

Having A non American narrator try American accents is disturbing. In this one a Boston accent comes across like a Brooklyn gangster. Annoying in the extreme. This I have heard from a number of them and really ruins the narration.

The narrator is spot on!

I don’t know what the complaints are all about unless people don’t know what New York accents sound like. Mary Jane Wells is great! It sounds to me as if she is telling the story instead of reading it. If she has always been your favorite and suddenly you don’t like how she presented this one, maybe you’re a little rigid in your expectations and are not allowing room for a true artist to practice her profession. In any case, Kleypas and Wells are an unbeatable pair. This book was well worth my credit!

Another strike!

I loved this book. Loved the narration. I especially appreciate the effort of Kleypas to keep her characters believable in the time period and as always it works.

Love This Series

I have listened to this series 3 times because I love it so much. BUT...the the male American accents in this audioboom are horrendous and are painful to listened to. I force myself to stick with it for the series but I hate this particular one.

Bad American accents

Story is engaging as the "Wallflowers” story continues. Unfortunately, the narrator has underwhelming Boston and New York (American) accents. In fact it was quite distracting at times.

Sardonic

Author overuses the word sardonic too much in this series. Once you hear it, you can't stop hearing it.

Painful American accents

I can’t say that this was my favorite of the wallflower series. It was fine. The male American accents were painfully bad - the New York accent was borderline offensive, and the Boston accent was not a Boston accent. They were hard to get past, even though the rest of the book was beautifully read.

Loved loved loved

No surprise here… Another great book by Lisa Kleypas … I thought I would miss the British accents of the main characters but once again Mary Jane Wells continues to be my favorite narrator. Can’t wait to read the next one that just came out today!
