The Desirable Duchess

Dukes and Desires, Book 1

De: M. C. Beaton

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Lovely Alice Lacey was a true incomparable, and her marriage to the Duke of Ferrant was the event of the season. Almost no one realized, however, that Alice was secretly in love with someone else - or that she had confided her feelings to a clever talking mynah bird who announces these intimacies at the moment of the couple's wedding.

Now the gossip mongers are relentless. Alice's marriage started out, and has remained, cold and impersonal, and her new husband is already rumored to be taken with another woman.

Before she even realizes what is happening, Alice finds herself in a world of opposites: The man she thought she loved is something other than he seems; and the man she married, something far more than she hoped. Her last hope and redemption has to be convincing the man she wedded that they are in love.

Lovely

A heartwarming story. Narrator was great. MC Beaton is always a winning story. Can never go wrong choosing one of her books.

Another entertaining and interesting tale

There are certain authors from whom I have come to expect the most. M C Beaton is one of those authors and she has delivered for me again.
Though this title is not a favored genre, it kept me reading.

Funny, Laughable

A lovely tale, Justine Here's performance was spectacular as expected. Cheney has a razor sharp wit and always enjoyable.

Loved it!

The build up to the end while predictable had me on the edge of my seat laughing my head off. I was excited to get to the next book in the series. Happy Listening!

Beaton and Eyre - great duo!

Have thoroughly enjoyed all my experiences with this author. The narration by Justine Eyre is perfect for the stories she reads. Downloading more with the two paired.
