Publisher's summary

In this captivating novel, Mary Balogh, the premier writer of Regency romance, invites you into a world of scandal and seduction, of glittering high society and intrigue, as an arrogant duke does the unthinkable - he falls in love with his mistress.

She raced onto the green, desperate to stop a duel. In the mêlée, Jocelyn Dudley, Duke of Tresham, was shot. To his astonishment, Tresham found himself hiring the servant as his nurse. But Jane Ingleby was far too bold for her own good. Her blue eyes were the sort a man could drown in - were it not for her impudence. She questioned his every move, breached his secrets, touched his soul. When he offered to set her up in his London town house, love was the last thing on his mind.

Jane tried to pretend it was strictly business, an arrangement she was forced to accept in order to conceal a dangerous secret. Surely there was nothing more perilous than being the lover of such a man. Yet as she got past his devilish façade and saw the noble heart within, she knew the greatest jeopardy of all, a passion that drove her to risk everything on one perfect month with the improper gentleman who thought love was for fools.

Absolutly delightful !

An absolutely wonderful book. I am a huge fan of Mary Balog and the narrator did this book justice! One of the best things about this story is the pacing. You really get a chance to see the couple grow together and become friends as well as lovers. I highly recommend this book.

My Favorite

Love the story, the characters & the narration. Passion without being gross. Humor and flair! The best.

Excellent

I keep this as it is something I listen to more than once or twice
I remove many books after I hear a bit of them or all so this means it’s really good.
I only by books by certain readers ...when Rosalyn
Landor reads certain books she is really good and this is one. When she reads wimpy books
She is not great. All in all some of my favorite books are read by her so what can I say

Loved it!

I t was so much fun to listen to I would love to hear it again!
Enjoy!

Just what I needed

I had just completed the AMAZING audiobook “Night” by Elie Wiesel. I needed some entertaining romantic fiction to temporarily provide me with light entertainment. This did not disappoint! It is now one of my favorite Mary Balogh novels.

Great story

I loved this book when I read it, and so I managed to enjoy the audio book. I love historical romances in general. But the ridiculous speaking accents of these audio books are rather discouraging, especially with books based in England

A Duke Meets His Match

Of course, I love this narrator and she does an excellent job with the voices on this one. The relationship between the accused murderer, Jane, and Jocelyn, the Duke (isn't that a girl's name??) is really well written and acted. The characters came alive for me and I rooted for them both. They were two strong willed people who were meant to be together and that was apparent from the start and their strengths and weakness complemented each other. It was an enjoyable story.

Good Read

I liked the book but did find that it dragged at places. I'd subconciously be thinking well get on with it. But this didn't happen so often so it wasn't that much of a problem. Overall I did enjoy the book. But wasn't the rivoting read I was looking for.
