Lovely Alice Lacey was a true incomparable, and her marriage to the Duke of Ferrant was the event of the season. Almost no one realized, however, that Alice was secretly in love with someone else - or that she had confided her feelings to a clever talking mynah bird who announces these intimacies at the moment of the couple's wedding. Now the gossip mongers are relentless. Alice's marriage started out, and has remained, cold and impersonal, and her new husband is already rumored to be taken with another woman.

Is Number 67 Clarges Steet the unluckiest house in Mayfair? Every season the beau mondes of the Regency would hire a house in the heart of London’s fashionable West End at disproportionately high rent for often inferior accommodation and yet Number 67 Clarges Street, a town house complete with staff, remains vacant from year to year. Could it be that it is associated with ill luck and even death? Something must be done so that the servants of this house don’t lose their livelihood.

A Bit Scandalous
This is the 3rd story I have read/heard by MC Beaton. Although I enjoy her stories, this one being a retelling of Cyrano De Bergerac, in the clever way she develops a romantic attachment of our heroine to a coveted gentlemen who thinks her someone else, I was surprised at the sensuality written in the storyline by this author.
I enjoyed the story for the most part, but was disappointed that this author lowered her clean novellas to tamper with the sensual side of romance novels.
Overall very good and the narrator did a good albeit annoying voice to most her characters.

The narrator is much, much better than the first two books in the series. The story was frivolous and silly but the narrator read it well. A good story to take your mind off of current events or other stressors.

Different story line involving a parrot, cat and a dog that the heroine takes over the care of. To me, this was a little slow moving for a Chesney romance. A light listen.

PLEASE LEARN TO READ THE WORDS OR LOOK THEM UP!
This reader must be faking a British accent. Grosvenor, Berkeley, rout, canary and about 5 other words REPEATEDLY MISPRONOUNCED!! what is so bad about it is that it is distracting to anyone who has ever heard these words pronounced correctly. they are not just read once. it's over and over again! I am so tired of the shoddy quality of these recordings!! Please fix this Audible! even if the readers don't care about the quality of their product, audible should.

Amusing
Light escapism not meant to be examined closely but a funny and satisfying listen as we follow the misadventures of Verity, the lovable heroine and her motley menagerie especially Pretty Polly.
The reader's Deep South United States accent intruded too often which might be more annoying in a serious listen. Still too much of an unnecessary distraction.
