Heiress in Red Silk

Duke's Heiress Romance Series, Book 2

De: Madeline Hunter

Narrado por: Beverley A. Crick

In this series from New York Times best-selling author Madeline Hunter, a mysterious bequest brings a whole new life - and brand-new love - to three unsuspecting women.

In one life-changing windfall, Rosamund Jameson goes from struggling shopkeeper to heiress - and co-owner of a new business. Not only will her sudden fortune allow her to move her millinery shop to fashionable London, but Rosamund will be able to provide her younger sister with a proper entry into society. The only hitch for resourceful Rosamund is her arrogant, infuriatingly handsome business partner....

Kevin Radnor is shocked that his late uncle, the Duke of Hollinburgh, bequeathed half his company to a total stranger - worse, a beguiling beauty who can only hinder his enterprise. But Rosamund insists on an active, equal partnership, so Kevin embarks on a plan: a seduction that will lead to a marriage of convenience, giving Rosamund the social status she needs, and guaranteeing him the silent partner he desires. Yet as this charismatic gentleman sets his flirtation in motion, he begins to wonder who is seducing whom - and if he can learn to share himself body and mind, without losing his heart....

Contains mature themes.

NICE AND SPIICY

Quite enjoyable. It shows that a women does not have to play the victim.

Excellent listen

I listened to all three books in this series and think this is my favorite. While the characters were well developed in all three, they seemed to really come to life in this, the second book. I love a good romance where the characters are just as good as the story...where the characters actually enhance the story. This definitely will be a repeat listen for me.

Loved it

For some reason I really felt immersed in this story. I felt for them both when they went through their difficulties.

Another beautiful Hunter book

Her books just get better and better and I love this particular heiress for her strength, and humility and kindness. Transportive, as always!

Loved this book

I love books that include businesswomen I especially modistes and fabric accessories sellers. I seek them out in this genre as it was so hard for women to marry back then and give up their businesses control to husband. I do wish narrator had not narrated the main character as such an old sounding woman she is a beautiful businesswoman who sounded very old and not as authoritative and smart as she is. Disappointed in that and was disappointed she married him as I did not trust him. Otherwise I loved the narrator.

Great book

Was old Duke killed ? Who.is the third heiress ?

As I've listened 3 times to Heiress for Hire and
Heiress in Red Silk. ... You realize I've enjoyed everything about these characters and the inventions and women running their own businesses...
there are a few unanswered points of interest not revealed .
Is there a 3rd book following this year ?

Good writing but needs excitement

Good writing but lacks excitement - the author needs to get cutthroat and make her characters really ache and long for each other — without the deep lows, there can be no highs when it’s time for the happy ending. She got close with this one, though. I liked the characters, just needed a bit more drama. On to number 3!

The Descriptive words

The authors descriptions of colors, smells, scenery, FEELINGS, made the reader feel apart of the story!! WONDERFUL WORK!!

good read

it is a nice story, and the performance is easy to follow story. I enjoyed the story.

Fascinating backstory

The setting of the book is intriguing ; not just the same old damsel in distress
