About this listen

Will the last Beverley daughter marry for Mannerling?

Lizzie is the sixth and youngest daughter of the late Sir Beverley, the patriarch who gambled away their beloved estate, Mannerling. Each of Lizzie's sisters had been entrusted by their ambitious mother to cast lures for the various owners of their former home. Instead, each one married for love.

Now it's Lizzie's turn to save Mannerling. But the new owner, the Duke of Severnshire, is far too arrogant for Lizzie's heart. And while the duke has no intentions toward the saucy chit, her curt dismissal of him is perplexing - no woman has ever refused him. Now, as his lavish house party to select a bride becomes a whirlwind of mismatches and scandal, lovely Lizzie is turning the duke's thoughts away from a suitable marriage - to the wonders of falling in love.

This series is my favorite of all the Marion Chesney regency novels. the only problem is they changed the reader for this final book in the series. this is a bummer since the person who read all the other books had voices for each character which I think are excellent I don't mind this new reader I have heard her many times but it's a shock to all of a sudden have mrs trumble speaking in a totally different way. it kind of ruined the story for me

don't change readers in mid stream

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The voices all sound angry or petulant and whining. The reader’s tone is arch and misses the humor which is a hallmark of Chesney’s writing.

Would have enjoyed this except for the awful voices

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Narrator mispronounces words and has terrible voices for some of the characters. She took away some of their credibility. Beaton’s stories deserve a better narrator.

Poor narration

The series goes out with a bang, or maybe a tinkle from a haunted chandelier.

A wonderful ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Wasn't as good as book one, heroine was immature and duke too old ( bad narration didn’t help it either).
It wasn’t much love or romance between them....

A bit tedious....

A good story, but would be much better with a more skilled narrator rather than stodgy.

Poor Narration
