BOOK REVIEW: An Unlikely Duchess by Nadine Millard Narrated By Beverley A. Crick

Book Review An Unlikely Dutchess by Nadine Millard Beverley A Crick

"Irish Scoundrel Vs. Handsome British Duke"

Overall
Performance
Story

This historical romance starts off with a twist when two best friends make plans to wed their future children. Little did the two men know what twists and turns fate would make for their future children. In a lot of ways this story plays by the typical historical love story template, but luckily it has a deeper plot than most of these types of books.

An Unlikely Duchess has a few antagonists plotting against the happiness of the main characters. Overall this is a happy story with light hearted characters who are at the whimsy of their hearts and notions. The story makes 18th century London society sound like child's play. It's an enjoyable book to pass the time with very little reference to day-to-day life.

TRAVEL JOURNAL (DIARY) ENTRY: Some of the best music at Dublin's Oldest Pub - The Brazenhead

I love Irish music and culture. This is live music in Dublin, Ireland. The bar is known as the Brazenhead and is the OLDEST pub (bar) in Ireland. They serve Guinness and other great drinks, have nightly live music, a lively courtyard. Its a hidden gem just barely off the beaten path. This place will make you fall in love with Ireland and never want to leave.

They also offer a dinner and storytelling event. It's a 4 course meal with live music and a genuine Irish storyteller!

Sorry about the video quality but the music is amazing and of good quality.
