- A full-length historical romance audiobook... Come back to a time when manners are everything and rules are made to never be broken. Come back to a time when men are in charge and women do what they are told... Yeah, that never happened.
Welcome to Megan Bryce's Regencyland, where ladies with backbone get what they want. Where a woman can thumb her nose at rules and care little for convention, and yet somehow, unexpectedly and most reluctantly, find love.
To Catch A Spinster
Olivia Blakesley, self-proclaimed spinster extraordinaire, is quite happy with her life. She has her studies and her duties, what need does she have of a husband? With five sisters married she knows the reality does not live up to the promise, and does not need to personally experiment with the state to know she would be ill-suited to it. However, she finds herself envious of at least one aspect of marriage. But to experience the physical side of marriage, one doesn't need a husband, all one needs is the right man...
Nathaniel Jenkins knows his duty. Marry a young girl from a respectable family and father an heir, no matter how cold the endless parade of suitable girls leaves him. But a shocking proposal from a scholarly spinster leaves him wondering if unsuitable is just what he's looking for. Can he convince his spinster that marriage is the greatest experiment of all?

Jjjnnjyyuuuuuuu
Enjoying this. Thank you
Oh my word! Did you write this?
I was convinced that this was a brilliant author of yesteryear! Very well done young lady 😁😁😁
I love the Reluctant Bride series. I have listened to them over and over again. There is NO better narrator than Maureen Cavanaugh!
Roslyn Landor is my favorite historical romance narrator (female)...Simon Pebbles is my favorite male historical romance narrator...this narrator is also good...I enjoyed this narrative very much
Of all the romance audiobooks I’ve listened to this is my favorite by far I’ve listened to this one at least 5 times now.
Thank you.
There is no accounting for taste.
This is so cute! I’m listening to these while working and I’m loving them. I love historical romance, someday I’ll write one. In the meantime I’ll be devouring all your books ♥️
Also: I LOVE how snobby they are. I mean that in the best way, they’re both so set in their ways they’re perfect for one another.
Delightful reader, makes the book 10 times more interesting and entertaining. I can't stop laughing lol
I wanted to use his Story as sleeping Story and it completly failed because I was lautghing so much that I'm complletly awake now
Thank you fror uploading
:D Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MeganBryceAuthor qq
Same!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂
The most fun period romance I've found here so far!
Give her naturally reddish brown curly hair and hazel green eyes, and this would have been me to a T! lol I love the Stars, I just felt like in some ways I really related to Olivia. And I love Nathaniel for loving her just the way she is 💗 I'm glad they finally got together, for a moment there I was really getting frustrated because I thought she wasn't going to be with him after all! And I'm not going to lie, a part of me wishes there would have been some juicy details in their first lovemaking 😂
Thank you 💕
I very much enjoy this.
I purchased this book so it's a treat to be able to listen to the audio version. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing.
CZcams is taking the fun out of it though. I don't mind commercials, after all the author should benefit. But CZcams interjects commercials every 3-4 minutes.
Let's see how long I will be able to hang in...😂
🙋♀️🌻
CZcams does that so that we pay money and switch to CZcams Premium . There are no commercials at all .
Yes but more annoying is mid sentence and not between chapters.
What an amazing narrator ! And the story is very lovely too 😊
Absolutely amazing, enticing & lovely story. Thank you
I have heard it 3 times already & will sure do more. It’s the best of this series. Hope you will write more like these stories.
😳😁! The narrator reminds me of Lady Mary Crawley! Loving this narration.🥰
But this is an American trying to sound upper class English (like Lady Mary) but failing completely. Perhaps you are American and don't have an understanding of true Btitish accents.

Wow… I’m only 17 minutes in but I have made up my mind that THIS “reading fairy” is my favorite narrator now! 😍
Thank you for the upload.
Wish other audio books came with a time stamp for each chapter ❤
Great story!! 🌹
Was searching for Georgette Heyer and stumbled upon this ☺️👍
Listening painfully through the endless ads and yet some audiobooks have no such atleast not every 5secs
You should consider writing episodes regularly for youtube. This was magnificent.
Bravo! Exquisite reading! Well penned too 😁😁😁
I love this! You’re such an amazing writer! ♥️
I love it... Fiesty woman.. All the time I was laughing 😂😂😂
Simply love this book!!!!!
Wonderful! Such an adorable story, loved it.
Thank you Megan for this upload . It was a delightful story. Those days must have been full of fun and snobbery. Thank goodness things have changed
Better manners generally though 😉 As to the snobbery, you must have been lucky to not have come across in the 21st century. The world is rife with it sadly.
Had a 2 Hour Dr. up to Miami and a 2 Hour Dr. back so I listen to the whole story in one day and loved it! Will definitely be buying more of your books on my Kindle soon! Thank you for writing such a delightful story, with such a great strong female protagonists! 🥰
Wow. Excellent story. Fun, but deeper levels of observation and fear that are very realistic are hidden just beneath the surface. A balance to happy ever after. Thank you.
Shocks this one is a goody!!!! I really like the personality of both characters
This is incredible, nice one!
What a wonderful story
Enjoyed every minute of the book
Thoroughly enjoyed this 💕
This was loads of fun to listen to! On to the next one!
I have enjoyed this story. Now I'm looking for the book.
Excellent book, I loved it to bits
Thank you so much for this beautiful audio book
I have just listened to the prologue and I am already dying for more!
This book is off to a great start
I really enjoyed that, thank you😊👏👍🌹
Made me laugh out loud several times, so good ! Bravo Megan Bryce!
Dear Megan,
Love this series. I've purchased all your books in this series. Looking forward to seeing and hearing your other works.
Great book.
Thank you!
Wow 🤩 thank you for such a wonderful book‼️😍
Wow, you're such an amazing narrator!!! 🙂🙂
The author is Megan Bryce and she wrote and shared the book, but she did not narrate it, that was Maureen Cavanaugh.
Enjoyed the story.
I love this story
really great narrator too!!
Thankyou a lit most enjoyable ouma cath south africa.
Delightful!!
Can’t stand the interruptions the ads are too much .
Thank you so much.
Excellent. Funny, charming and beautifully read. It seems so difficult. Well dine.
Wonderful book but the ads are so very annoying and distracting. How can you stay focused with constant interruptions.
Short and sweet, and funny, too. Thanks!
Love it
I like that they cut out the sex scenes. After reading quite a few romance novels the sex scenes becomes rather tiring (no matter how well written they are). I read romance books because a want a light read and a happy ending.
p.s is that really how you pronounce ton/tone (meaning high society)? Since it originates from the French language shouldn't it be pronounced [tɔ̃] instead?
You're correct, the pronunciations of ton as tone is incorrect. Very annoying.
Can you name some other audio books you enjoyed?
Thank you, a couple minutes in and I was worried that I would run into smut and I detest it. I don't need that in books, if I did I would go to an adult shop. I will trust your comment to mean it is a clean book. I appreciate your comment and that it's clean, if so.
It's supposed to be pronounced the same as the ton in a ton of bricks.
I like the story. Am looking for part 2 of the story .
At 3: I was hoping he would find someone else as well. Could not find it in me to like Olivia.
I love this!!!
I wish Ravished by Teresa M. was on audio or a movie! Read it 6 times! Great characters, storyline, hooks u all the way through. I hated when it came to an end.😔My all time book pick. The problem is, I read so fast I can't remember the titles! Wish I had kept many but, I donated to the book sale at our local library.😵
I’m at 3:51:32 and I want to kick the crap out of Olivia. Not the best written book but an enjoyable listen!
Grazie mille la tua pronuncia è molto chiara, grazie per farmi capire bene. :)
So weird that fondling dominance thing. Is that a thing a hand massage. You would think fondling someone and being fondled would be the same thing if people actually has chemistry. LOL!!!
Good story and narration. WAY TOO MANY ads

I find it unfair that in a patriarcal society, the girls are disparaged for being '' chatty and shallow'' and' ' all alike' 'when they are conditionned to be so. When patriarchy forces those traits on them then, uses those as proof of their' 'natural' ' inferiority'. I know we are meant to favor the main character for her uniqueness, by contrast to their foolishness, but i'd prefer books with more than one '' good woman''. To portray one woman as the exception to the rule, joins patriarchy' s views on such women : supposedly, their unique stories don't change the overall truths of women. That said, this is enjoyable.
it’s society’s fault for their behaviour uh huh
(This is only light-hearted fiction)
This is a great comment and a necessary viewpoint . Ignore the idiots above who have commented, I’ve always hated the exceptionalism of main female characters too - that all other women are stupid in comparison, it’s sexist and ignores patriarchal conditioning and the systems in our society that make it so as you have said
Interestingly enough this time period says men and women spent most of their time apart so it was women teaching women these behaviors. How is that patriarchal? Also, you'll notice her mother tells her to keep her night time jaunts to herself until she's actually married which implies vapidness in the books is small talk today.
Also, how many writers are introverted and writing introverted characters during a party? Characters who are absolutely in hatred of small talk. It's like modern day meeting at a bar, instead of meeting at work, a library, or community.
Please upload the 4th book to tempt a saint megan Bryce thanks found the first 3.
I'm just waiting to get back the distribution rights on the 4th book. Should be up on CZcams in the next month or so.
Book 4 is now up. czcams.com/video/LLqAtXbTcAE/video.html
Enjoyed this unique book Glad they didn't bring sex scenes into the book.
Lou Kolderman why?
Thanks for the comment. Lack of sex scenes will be why I choice this book. I like when they build the romance without it being xrated ever few minutes 😏
I appreciate that too.
I concur
Really? Durnnit!
It's a pity about the americanisms e.g. gotten which is not used in english english
This was the most interesting. The second one is not bad, but books 3 and 4 are wash outs
I loved them all. To Wed The Widow might be my favorite though. 😊
The tedious storyline of Olivia's reluctance to marriage is annoying. They carried that on for far too long.
Olivia got me annoyed.
Olivia is a very annoying character
Nice story and amusing pity an important part of the story was omitted
Yeah i wanta do what i want to do too
Truth though sometimes i miss my husband.
Renee Goddard same boat. But trust me, we forget the bad things quickly and remember the good so well. Don’t take for granted having your bed all to yourself without a snoring freight train by you! If a man doesn’t fight to keep us I don’t think he deserves to. Men are so lazy these days.

😂
Get yourself a cute little dog to cuddle with in your bed...they're more loyal, do what you tell them, would die for you, they never talk back, don't care about makeup or if your hair is messy, and will love you unconditionally. You can tell them ALL of your secrets, they won't hog the remote control, and they're probably more potty trained than most husbands. 😂
I rarely find books that have hilarious moments in them, multiple times, but this one does, so far, lol... I even felt embarrassment for her or him at times, lol.I'm up to 1:55:24. Let's see how the rest goes...🤔
❤️
The start was promising but it got a bit boring along the way. Not a very good example of a "historical" novel. The reader was alright but maybe a british reader would have given it more depth. In all I quite liked it and will be listening to the other books on the series.
Is this the full book?
Yes. Some scenes have been made family friendly for CZcams but it's the whole thing.
@@MeganBryceAuthor Ummm....having listed to LOTS of romances on CZcams, I am able to say that even explicit stuff doesn't always get tagged. You could probably load a bowdlerized version and a uncut version.

Im not one for the racey scenes but we do need some context. Was he thoughtful did she enjoy it, was an idiot. Gave up half way through.
Ist etwas zu langatmig - er will heiraten, sie nicht und das hin und her ...
Ansonsten ganz nett.
Was the sex scenes purposely cut out?
Yes, just for CZcams.
Jee!! taugh it will never finish, to long for nothing. So predictable.
What a shame about the commercial! That is ALWAYS the reason I won't listen to an audiobook. Bummer
So many ads , won’t listen to anymore
of her videos because of the abundance of ads .
To many commercials.
In accuracy in history. A disgraced woman wouldn't have been left alone to do as she like. She would have been banished or her entire family would have suffered.
Otherwise nice story
2:11:22
To many ads
Story good so far but narrative is hard to listen too. Far to false.
So agree.
Adds ruin everythings
1:29
Too many adds ....
They say music is language of the soul. So hearing the main character's disdain for music makes me dislike her and think her as soulless. And all that internal made her sound so shallow.
Less commercial would be great
Sorry book fun ! Narration was very overthe top.
Narriator wasn't too bad to me. I had to think of it as a romantic comedy. I actually hate those type of movies, but this book was pretty funny. Of course I'm only at 2:02:00 😅🤣

The story was not bad but what made it impossible to listen to was the narrator.
Not impossible but fairly painful. Accent is totally overdone. The pronunciation of some words are also awful.
It's okay. Meh. I won't be listening to the others. I did speed it up too.
Between the tiresome duration of Olivia's reluctance to marry, her reaction to being published and her constant resistance to everything in her life, she appears pathetic rather than heroic or empowered. It had so much potential, mixed accents/pronunciations aside, but it failed to inspire. Sorry.
I agree. Her lack of confidence hidden behind a rebel annoys me.
Thanks for pointing out the accent issues. I didn't want to seem mean but it really detracted from the experience.
You're right, too long. And she's being really selfish, smh.... Starting not to like her, smh.
Yes, I am almost giving up because of the awful accent and strangulated pronouncement.
Worst fake accent ever. Too busy laughing to listen.
