Publisher's summary

Lady Eleanor Ramsay is the only one who knows the truth about Hart Mackenzie. Once his fiancée, she is the sole woman to whom he could ever pour out his heart. Hart has it all - a dukedom, wealth, power, influence, whatever he desires. Every woman wants him - his seductive skills are legendary. But Hart has sacrificed much to keep his brothers safe, first from their brutal father, and then from the world. He's also suffered loss: his wife, his infant son, and the woman he loved with all his heart, though he realized it too late.

Now Eleanor has reappeared on Hart's doorstep, with scandalous nude photographs of Hart taken long ago. Intrigued by the challenge in her blue eyes - and aroused by her charming, no-nonsense determination - Hart wonders if his young love has come to ruin him ... or save him.

Critic reviews

"Ashley demonstrates her gift for combining complex characters; emotionally compelling, danger-tinged plotting; and a delectably sensual romance into one unforgettable love story." ( Booklist)

A nice continuation of the series.

This was a pleasant addition to the series. If you enjoy the characters and would like a deeper insight into the mind and heart of Hart McKenzie, this is the book for you. Easy listen, especially when engaging in daily tasks.

Mackenzie’s!

This filled in some of the characters backstory which I enjoyed. I had already read David Fleming book and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I don’t like Eleanor (unbelievable)as much as I thought I would and Hart is too much (controlling). They were both tiring.

This entire series was wonderful. There was a great love story with a little mystery as well. I was very pleased with this book and was sad to see the series over. I hope that she writes another book for this series as there is one more brother left in the family to write about

Loved it!! Another great Mackenize story!

I loved that Ms. Ashley blended in a mix of all the Mackenize brother. It was nice to hear how Ian, Mac and Cameron were all doing with their new wives.

The book is very similar to Jennifer Ashley's other Mackenize novels.

What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a great MacKenize Scottish accent. It is hard to tell the MacKenize brothers apart however.

All of it. Great Story!

Very Enjoyable. I would recommend this recording to anyone who has already enjoyed the first 3 novels in the series.

Saving the heart of a Duke

Once upon a time Eleanor Ramsey rejected Hart Mackenzie. She was right to do so but neither of them could find happiness elsewhere. Now it's up to Hart to win her back. Contains Irish rebellions and naughty nude Victorian photographs. Beautifully read by Angela Dawes

Love and Politics

Any additional comments?

Another great addition to the series, The Duke's Perfect Wife includes Hart's political ambitions, assassination attempts, possible blackmail, some nice moments with the kids, Ian playing an important role in Hart's HEA, and yes, Eleanor is perfect. A lot going on and the romance doesn't get lost. Very well done.

Excellent!

Now its time for the oldest brother to find love. His is a woman who dumped him before the alter. He broke her heart before, but this time he plans to be more careful.
