A Duke in the Night

De: Kelly Bowen

Narrado por: Ashford McNab

An enchanting historical romance from the 2018 RITA award-winning author that New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean calls "a charming, clever, and engaging storyteller."

Named to All About Romance's "The Best of 2018!"

Duke. Scoundrel. Titan of business. August Faulkner is a man of many talents, not the least of which is enticing women into his bedchamber. He's known-and reviled-for buying and selling companies, accumulating scads of money, and breaking hearts. It's a reputation he wears like a badge of honor, and one he intends to keep.

Clara Hayward, the headmistress of the Haverhall School for Young Ladies, on the other hand, is above reproach. Yet when she's reunited with August all she can think of is the way she felt in his arms as they danced a scandalous waltz ten long years ago. Even though her head knows that he is only back in her life to take over her family's business, her heart can't help but open to the very duke who could destroy it for good.

A great listen

The book is great but the person who reads it for this audio is amazing! She has a way of making you feel you are the one in the book not just listening to it. It must be said that it is helpful to have such an entertaining and well written book to start with also!

Almost didn't finish...

So Ashford McNab did a lovely job narrating. But the hero almost made me put down the book several times. I like Bowen, and I respect her for trying a more abrasive hero, but he really deserved a slap in the face. I dont care how tragic his backstory. He kept doing whatever the hell he wanted, disregarding the heroine's wishes, and was too possessive too early for my taste. But it's ok, bc he wasn't as big an asshole as the guy who tried to force his attentions on heroine, so I guess it's a great relationship. He does reform some, and is like walking sex, so there's that, but... He made me quite angry throughout. There are lots of lovely things, and the heroine is a BAMF (except when it comes to men) and does scold him constantly for being a patriarchal ass, they both have to give a but at the end which is nice, theres an A+ finale scene, but... I dunno, maybe I just fell in love with Alex Lavoie in Between the Devil and the Duke, and August lost out by comparison. I think I'll look at the whole series, bc I'm intrigued by Harland and Rose, but...

I’m a new fan!

Well developed story, well told. Excellent performance. I’m a new fan and will look for everything from this author. I don’t want to spoil the storyline, but second chances can be so meaningful and delicious. The performance had well defined characters. Some humor, some drama, and varying demonstrations of love. I hope these characters make appearances in future books. I know I will be swept away into the next story regardless.

Powerful women, love, perfection

At first I thought wow this is a tad slow but continue to listen. This book gives me goose flesh. I love the book, and narrator. My favorite Kelly Bowen book by far.

Incredible writing!!!

Kelly Bowen is a jewel of a writer! This book was an absolute joy to listen to from beginning to end! Incredible heroine and hero!
Before this book, I listened to her” season for scandal” series and like this book, it was so incredible to listen to from beginning to end!
