Shopgirl Poppy Fairchurch knows it's pointless fantasizing about the Duke of Autenberry. Still, dreams can't hurt anyone, unlike the carriage Poppy spies bearing down upon the unsuspecting duke. After she pulls him to safety, the duke lapses into a coma, and Poppy is mistaken for his fiancée. But one person isn't fooled: his arrogant and much too handsome half brother, Struan Mackenzie. Soon Poppy isn't sure what she wants more: the fantasy of her duke or the reality of one smoldering Scot who challenges her.

Delightful
A trilogy worth every minute. The three Greene sisters are spirited and fun and find the perfect men for their unconventional lives. Begin with “The Rogue of Fifth Avenue”,
then “The Prince of Broadway” and finally, my favorite, “The Devil of Downtown”. Good girls who meet and fall in love with bad boys is always delightful.

Great story
My favorite book from the series - Justine is confident but not shilly - Jack’s character was adorable - loved the bowling scene. Love how the author threads the characters and scenes from other books.

Good story of the do-gooder and the gangster
I enjoyed the historical facts about New York in the gilded age, the rich and the poor, the bad labor laws and treatment of women. I liked the characters, their romance and their interactions.

Not my favorite from either the author or narrator
Overall, I really enjoyed this series. Cute romances, very steamy. Buuuuuuut... I don't know if it's the writing or narration, but the dialogue just sounds *off*. I desperately want the characters to use more contractions! I normally like this narrator, but maybe old-timey New York accents aren't for her? I get the sense if I had read this myself instead of listening, it might have made me cringe less. Still a fan of both the author and narrator, but I might skip novels set in the US next time.
