From beloved historical romance author Marion Chesney comes the second installment in the Regency Intrigue series.

With little to live on but her romantic daydreams - which frequently starred the dashing Marquess of Fleetwater - Jean Lindsay lived a rather dismal life with her nasty, drunken uncle.

Jean was always the object of ridicule, that is, until news of her unexpected inheritance spread. Suddenly her worn dresses became "quaint" and her forthright manner turned magically to "charming", but to Jean's horror, someone wanted her dead!

With the marquess nearby to save her pretty neck, Jean felt quite safe... and quite smitten. As for her hero... how had an unsophisticated child from a Scottish manse turned his head and his heart askew?

Even M.C. Beaton fans should run for the hills. This is a hackneyed story with a too stupid to live heroine, a leading man who repeatedly shows he is not worthy of a relationship, and the worst dialogue in the history of Regency romance. The word misogynist is bandied about by two male characters regarding their behavior and the author has members of the upper class speaking as if they were stable hands. The plot is so weak that characters make repeated references to being tired of all the ludicrous events. Me too.

Throw in the most annoying male voices performed by the narrator and this makes for a most unpleasant listen. Brutal indeed, as another reviewer suggests.

Unbelievably Disappointing
