Publisher's summary

RITA Award Winner, Historical Romance, 2014

A rogue ruined...

He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her wedding. With no memory of that fateful night, Temple has reigned over the darkest of London's corners for twelve years, wealthy and powerful, but beyond redemption. Until one night, Mara resurfaces, offering the one thing he's dreamed of . . . absolution.

A lady returned . . .

Mara planned never to return to the world from which she'd run, but when her brother falls deep into debt at Temple's exclusive casino, she has no choice but to offer Temple a trade that ends in her returning to society and proving to the world what only she knows...that he is no killer.

A scandal revealed . . .

It's a fine trade, until Temple realizes that the lady and her past are more than they seem. It will take every bit of his strength to resist the pull of this mysterious, maddening woman who seems willing to risk everything for honor...and to keep from putting himself on the line for love.

First Thought when Finished: No Good Duke goes Unpunished sealed the deal for me: I need to read more Sarah MacLean!

Book Thoughts: Temple! Temple! Team Temple! If you can't tell I just loved the killer duke to death. He is everything that I expect from my rogueish historical leading men: dastardly, damaged, and a really good friend. I will admit that it took a bit for Mara to prove to me that she was worthy of Temple but boy did she! Her back story was heartbreaking but her gumption was outstanding. Together they made me smile!

Audio Thoughts:

Narrated By Rosalyn Landor/ Length: 12 hrs and 34 mins


Rosalyn is probably one my favorite narrators! I just love her voice and it is perfectly suited for historicals. She just pulls off this series spectacularly well. I totally recommend these on audio!

Final Thoughts: Oh that epilogue *evil grin*

Boring

Disappointed. I did not like the heroine. I could not relate to someone who was such a weakling. The hero was a fool for having anything to do with someone who had played him so dirty. Great narration.

Heroine is THE WORST

Temple did not get the heroine he deserves! She knowingly framed him for years and still displayed selfishness and idiocy throughout the entire story. I saw no reason why he would fall in love with her or why we should root for it! This one was a let down, especially after how great Cross and Pippa’s story was.

It was ok

As always Rosalyn was a wonderful narrator but the book wasn’t that great but now I know about the deadly duke

hot hot hot

Loved it kept you interested in it from the time it started to the time it finished

Good story but slow

I liked this book but it was slow at times. It was one that didn't bother me if I couldn't finish it quickly.

Great Book

intriguing story, little less in the action, but overall it was good read. Waiting for the next one.

Most Excellent !!

Beautiful story ! Temple so forgiving and loving ! Mara wishing to make amends ! Finally find HEA . Rosalyn Landor is the best narrator in the business!! Sarah Maclean scores again love her stories ! I can’t wait for Chases story in audio !!!! 💕

Fabulous story

Can one truly let bygones be bygones? It wont be as easy for me but somehow the hero in this book can. So even though the heroin destroys his life and for 12 years he is shunned not only by his family but by aristocracy, he manages to let love conquer all. The hero also had to chase the heroin continuously to have her give in to the love. That is the only part of the book I wish Sarah MacLean had addressed. It is too unlikely so instead she should have had the chasing reversed. Regardless, I truly enjoyed the book and this minor issue correction would have just been the icing on the cake. But yes! I still recommend this book.
