The Demon Duchess

An Aristocrat Falls for a Cowboy Second Chance Romance (The Demon Duchess Series, Book 2)

De: Tessa Bowen

Narrado por: Virginia Ferguson

In The Devil Duke, the beautiful but scheming baroness will stop at nothing to keep her man from falling for his new waifish house guest, to no avail. We catch up with the jilted aristocrat in The Demon Duchess.

Abigail Sutton does not take kindly to being dumped. Desperation leads her to seek comfort in the arms of her surly horse trainer, the mysterious Jack Johnson from America. A night of fleeting passion results in a life-altering “predicament”. Now, the baroness finds herself fighting for the attentions of an entirely different sort of man - a man who is much more than he seems - a man who might just offer her the family she’s never had. That is, if she can prove to him she is not just a pampered pain in the ass.

Her pursuit of the handsome but stubborn drifter lands the baroness in Montana of all places, where she will learn plenty of new skills - rope-tying and lasso-tossing, just to name two. Many surprises are in store for the newly thawed ice queen.

Heartbreak over one man will lead to true love with another....

A Cowboy and a Baroness

What a great story that kept me engaged. The narrator gracefully told the tale from England to America. This is the second book in the series and a great continuation. Enjoy!

Beautiful tale of extreme opposites attract......

The Demon Duchess is the second book in this series, and, although the author does a great job of making this a standalone, I highly recommend reading both books to get the most enjoyment. The Demon Duchess picks up right at the end of the first book, in which our heroine, Abigail Sutton, an English duchess, is the villain. Abigail is the perfect example of a proper English aristocrat with her hair always perfect and her manners impeccable. However, underneath this proper lady beats the heart and courage of a warrior. Watching her blossom from an emotionally corseted, sad and lonely woman into a brave woman strong enough to fight for her new life was a great pleasure indeed.

On the rebound from getting dumped in book one of the series, Abigail seduces a horse trainer, Jack Johnson, and becomes pregnant from their one encounter. The two are complete and total opposites and can hardly tolerate each other, but they decide to marry for the sake of the child. What proceeds is a wonderful journey across England, Montana, and even Australia as Jack and Abigail learn to heal from the wounds of their pasts and develop a deep love for each other. The author writes a moving story that had me alternating from frustration to giddiness and from fury to joy multiple times through the book. These two fought hard for their HEA, but all those challenges made me truly believe they could beat the odds and make each other very happy.

Virginia Ferguson narrates both books in the series, and she is the perfect choice for this role. The continuity between books is pleasing, and Ferguson has a crisp British accent that perfectly portrayed the ever changing roles and personalities of Abigail. However, as well as she handled Abigail, Ferguson does equally well with Jack's rough, masculine American accent. The team of Bowen as an author and Ferguson as a narrator makes for an out-of-this world listening experience.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

Love always wins in the end

I was a little skeptical with this book as I didn’t like Jack or Abigail. Jack was a real jerk and Abigail is still a spoiled duchess. But their love story won me over.

wonderful story

the baroness finally meets a match in a burly cowboy but the past keeps him from believing he can have love and a family again a second chance will change all he believed great story loved it !
