Give the Devil His Duke

Drop Dead Dukes, Book 1

Set against the Bridgerton-era backdrop of Regency London, Anna Bradley's witty and sexy new trilogy sets fiercely alpha dukes against the duchesses who are determined to transform their delinquent husbands by any means necessary. A delight for fans of Mary Jo Putney, Sabrina Jeffries, Ella Quinn, Diana Quincy, and Julia Quinn.

One should never judge a duke by his cover. As far as London society knows, Giles Drew, the Duke of Basingstoke, is everything a proper aristocrat ought to be. But when a notorious scandal sheet publishes details of Giles's questionable bedroom antics, only one bride can salvage his reputation.

Prim and penniless, Francesca Stanhope has resigned herself to a season full of the ton's snickering—until the Duke of Basingstoke's dizzying courtship transforms her fate. Yet wedded bliss quickly turns into a clash of wills as Franny realizes her handsome duke is a devil in disguise.

But beneath the newlywed's skirmishes lies scorching heat. And while each attempts to tame the other, the truth is that this unconventional union may be all either could ever desire . . .

Contains mature themes.

So boring

This book honestly was probably one of the hardest books to get into. Not only is the plot super drawn out, but the narrators voice was so obnoxious for the Duke, I could not get into it.

Cute and sweet!

This was a cute and sweet listen. Although there wasn't too much to the plot and main conflict, I found this a pleasant and easy listen which was exactly what I was looking for! I'm excited to start the next in the series!

Absolutely delightful!

Both MCs are just wonderful. This was exceptionally well written, and rhe narration is also very good. Some excellent twists and turns, and a very sweet HEA.

Nice story

It took us a while to get there. He had to work for her and it was a long day listening to this book. But I’m happy with the result.

The humor is not well mixed with the angst...

I enjoyed this book because I love Bradley's writing, but her attempt at humor fell short for me... Good book anyway and good narrator!
