A very good example of Eloisa James brilliance. A great story narrated Susan Duerden. Enjoy!

I really liked it, a little confused

So, I really did like this book. However I kept expecting there to be the giant problem listed in the description. As we got closer and closer to the end I kept waiting and waiting… nothing. Anyway! Still a good book.

She learns to stand up for what she wants .

Great premise. A young woman who has been beleaguered about every single thing in her life. She had been trained to be a door mat . But she is of good birth and has a handsome dowry. Her only weapon is she is smart and says what she thinks.
She demonstrates the old rule of thumb that girls can not just be friends with a handsome man with out feeing attraction. This was what happened to her. She loves him but he is enamoured with another girl and swears that woman is the one he wants to marry.
Well he cannot have everything his way.
I like that the author addressed this topic. It is a painful situation that every person faces at one point in their lives. Most times the result does not end as good as it did for the couple in this book.
The narration was well done. Excellent job.

Love the personal connection at the end of the Novels.

If you love Julia Quinn novels you will adore Eloisa James… maayyybe even more. Something I love about Eloisa, at the end of every novel, she gives some history about the story. And she connects her personal experience to the story/characters at the end of the books. This one’s personal significance was super sweet. Love her writing also the sauce is spicier than Julia Quinn’s novels. I’ve really enjoyed her books and the character development and stories she creates. On to the next one!!

Not That Duke!

I liked this audiobook. The characters were interesting. I really liked Stella I could relate to her and her insecurities. She has red hair, freckles and wears spectacles. She is also more rounded. The Duke of Huntington,Silvester was a bit clueless. He was infatuated with Lady Yasmin. She is blonde and beautiful. The Duke is also competing with Lord Giles for Yasmin. Stella and Silvester have a a lot in common but he keeps leaving her for the other lady. The narrator is wonderful.
