Lighthearted and thoroughly entertaining romp!
Any additional comments?
The Naked King by Sally MacKenzie is a funny, lighthearted, and thoroughly entertaining historical romance. The story centers around Lady Anne Marston, who at 27, is a spinster well on the shelf. Never experiencing a London season herself, she is the obvious choice to chaperone her 17-year old sister with her introduction to society. Thankfully, Anne's dog leads her into the path of Stephan Parker-Roth, The King of Hearts.
Being 30-years old with a younger sister and brother both married, Stephan is desirous of a wife. He admires Anne's gumption and forthrightness, which are obvious qualities from their first meeting. So, when a cat crosses the path of Anne's dog, who trips Stephen and in turn falls on top of Anne, he has no choice but to marry the girl (and buy Anne and her sister new wardrobes).
I listened to the Audible version of this book narrated by Pearl Hewitt, who did an outstanding job. Pearl provided distinct and consistent voices for all characters, young and old. She has a spunk and sassiness in her readings that make listening very enjoyable. Plus, she enunciates with British sophistication with the best of them. Most excellent!

Frustrating Heroine
The hero was wonderful but when the heroine’s only dialogue for chapters at a time is her complaining about or refusing someone or something, it’s difficult to know what to like. It became seriously tedious and made their attraction quite baffling
