BOOKSHOP CINDERELLA Scandal at the Savoy, Book 1

Marisa Calin takes listeners back to England in the late 1800s. Evie Harlow owns a bookshop in London. When she crosses paths with Maximillian, the Duke of Westbourne, he proposes that he turn her into the diamond of the social season in order to win a bet with friends. Calin gives Max a crisp upper-class tone that contrasts clearly with Evie's middle-class speech. Calin smoothly transitions between the two. As Evie and Max grow closer, the banter between them increases, and Calin brings a liveliness to her performance. Listeners will find themselves rooting for the pair to overcome their differences and fall in love. S.B. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2023]
