Au Revoir, My Duke

Regency Hearts Aflame: Beneath the Thorns of Revenge, Love Blossoms

De: Amanda Mariel, Wallflowers Revenge

Narrado por: Charlie Albers

Amidst the enchanting snowfall and twinkling candlelight of Regency England's holiday season, a tale of redemption and reawakened hearts unfolds in Au Revoir, My Duke. Lady Charlotte Ashbourne stands on the precipice of ruin, her family's fortune ruthlessly stolen by the enigmatic and brooding Duke of Ravenscroft, Grant Tilbury. Driven by desperation, Charlotte is determined to reclaim her family's honor and fortune from the man who ruined them.

Grant Tilbury, a notorious rogue, revels in a life of vice and leisure with no intentions of settling down. However, when he crosses paths with the spirited and beautiful Lady Charlotte, he finds himself intrigued. Unable to resist the challenge, he makes her an indecent proposal. Seeing an opportunity for revenge, Charlotte devises a daring plan: accept his indecent proposal, make him fall in love with her, bring him to his knees, and then shatter his heart as he did her family's.

As Christmas magic weaves its spell, the boundaries between pretense and reality begin to blur. Charlotte finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Grant, discovering hidden depths and vulnerabilities in him that she never anticipated. Grant, too, is captivated by Charlotte's fiery spirit and unyielding determination, finding himself entangled in emotions he thought he’d forever forsaken.

With secrets unveiled and their game of hearts taking an unexpected turn, the holiday festivities become a backdrop for a passionate battle of wills. Will Charlotte's quest for vengeance be overtaken by an undeniable love? Can the rogue Duke find redemption in the embrace of the woman who sought to destroy him? As their hearts intertwine and the true spirit of the season works its magic, the fate of their love hangs in the balance. Will Charlotte bid adieu to the Duke forever, or will love triumph in the most unexpected of ways?

Revenge by Charlotte!

This was a revenge which Grant Tilbury, Duke of Ravenscroft did not expect. Not in a million years!
And Lady Charlotte Ashbourne was the cause - but actually, it was a legitimate case of 'but he started it first', which children often say when told to stop fighting, for example.
I was so happy when they found their happy ever after - what a relief that was!
This was a deliciously engrossing story, well written into the bargain and I loved every single part of it.
This narrator is unfortunately not my favourite one, however, the rendition was done pleasantly enough.
I have just finished listening to an early copy of the audio version having previously read the book and am quite happy to leave my voluntary review of it.

Victorian times love story

Au Revoir, My Duke by Amanda Mariel and Wallflowers Revenge is a fantastic story of love and revenge. Charlie Albers did a fantastic job with the narration, bringing the story to life. The story is entertaining, interesting, enjoyable, and funny. I like how the relationship between the two characters develops over time. Lady Charlotte and Duke Tibury won’t know what hit them until it’s too late (the love bug). Will their relationship be true? Will Lady Charlotte give up on revenge or will she be able to get her revenge? What will happen in the future? Listen to find out.

Charlotte and Grant

Part of the Revenge of the Wallflowers, Lady Charlotte Ashbourne and Duke of Ravenscroft, Grant Tilbury's enemies to lovers story. Their Christmas story is well written with a very good storyline that held my interest and kept me turning pages. I had to know what would happen and if they would get their happy ending. I enjoyed listening to Charlie Albers narrate their story.

Great audio

A fasted paced audio story. It's very good with an excellent narrator. Grant must collect all the debts owed to his father as a new Duke. Charlotte is from one of those family's. Filled with anger she seeks revenge but doesn't count on the other steamy feelings that present themselves.

Filled with twists, drama, family issues and more an adventure not to miss.

Wonderful Holiday Story

Grant Tilbury, Duke of Ravenscroft, has done what he had to in order to clean up the mess his father left him. Lady Charlotte Ashbourne’s family is near destitution and ruin because of the Ravenscroft calling in her father’s debt. Charlotte wants revenge against the unfeeling duke. When she confronts him, he offers a compromise. If she will spend Christmastide with him (chaperoned, of course), he will return some of the family’s funds. Sometimes, the picture you have of a person is far from the truth. As Charlotte and Grant spend time together and get to know each other, they come to understand each other. The story has drama, anger, family issues, loss, a few twists, and finally understanding. The is a wonderful heart-touching story with sensitive and caring characters and a lovely happy ending. Enjoyable narration.

Loved the characters ....

Loved the characters, not the narrator. I am a huge fan of any story that does not paint the woman as a damsel in distress. Mariel dared to buck tradition and create a heroine with a fierce personality and determination of heart. Charlotte and Grant are a sassy firework that gets under your skin and sticks to the heart. I cannot say the same about Albers' narration. It was missing spirit. More personality was needed.

Enjoyable way to spend the day

This was a delightful way to pass the day—an easy, enjoyable listen, beautifully narrated by the ever-charming Charlie Albers
