Alice Lovesey is a poor, mistreated scullery maid whose desperate plea for help miraculously summons Wadham Hall's rakish eighth duke - summons him from the dead! Though caught up in the delights of being newly materialized, the duke promises to return the favor by helping Alice become a lady of quality. But does Alice's heart stand a ghost of a chance now that she has lost it to a restless spirit?

I’ve read dozens of Chesney/Beaton books. This one is unusual for her Regency pieces in that it’s fanciful and contains supernatural elements. I enjoyed it greatly. The protagonist male is slightly different in character from her usual brooding heroes. Recommended.

Different from her usual book

This whimsical "ghost" story is ruined by a completely incompetent narrator. Ms. Dore cannot do even basic voice differentiation, accurately depict emotion, or even pronounce much of the English language much less foreign places any regular reader of period romances knows. (Ms. Dore, Ciudad is not pronounced kyu-I-dad; it is see-you-dad.). She narrates the entire book as if she didn't bother to read it first. Her male voices are deplorable and devoid of any appropriate emotion. She mixes up her female voices with that of the story's narrator.

I would hope that either she takes vocal acting lessons or finds another line of work.

Despite a lot of teeth gritting over the performance, the story is a delicious cross between a gothic novel if the time and a very witty fairy tale.

Delightful tale. Terrible narrator!

This is a great book. I will listen to over and over again.... worth a credit.

Supernatural fun!
I never wanted this story to end.
Quirky, funny and entertaining. The ghost is great fun.

So much fun!

I did finish it (well I skipped a bit of it), but honestly, I am not sure why.

The idea seemed novel enough, but the main character was too much of a drip and story seemed to drag along.

To be fair, this suffered for me because I had just recently finished a Georgette Heyer regency and this paled badly next to it.

The narrator was okay.

Meh... not horrible, but hot all that good.
