Resumen del Editor

A duke in disguise...a damsel in distress...a match made in - Manchester?

When 23-year-old Theodore Radney becomes the Duke of Reddington after his father dies, the weight of his new responsibilities is enough to send him into a panic. Theo soon accumulates a pile of debts - and discovers he can’t touch his inheritance until his father’s will is probated. His brother-in-law, mill owner Ethan Brundy, lends him the money, with one caveat: Theo will repay the loan by working in the mill.

Daphne Drinkard and her mother have fallen on hard times, and are now reduced to taking in boarders. When a Parliamentary candidate hires the dining room for a series of political meetings, Daphne knows he might be her last chance for an advantageous marriage. Still, she’s far more intrigued by the boardinghouse’s newest resident. Mr. Tisdale is obviously a gentleman - but why would a gentleman be working in a cotton mill?

Delightful series! 🌸

I really enjoyed this book (and series). It captivates from the beginning with well written characters, solid storyline and superb narration. It's definitely the kind of series that is perfect for readers who love sweet, fun, and wholesome stories. I highly recommend this series. 🌞

My thanks to the author for giving me a free review copy of this audiobook at my request. 😊I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Who doesn't love a duke in hidding story?

A very sweet, historical, clean romance. It was touching to watch a duke fall on hard times and be able to relate with his peers in ways that touched the heart. Our leading lady was as sweet as she was smart. Very lovely story and perfect for a day where you would like to sit back and have some tea and be whisked away to simpler times. I thoroughly enjoyed the epilogue as well, wish I could have listened to that for a few hours longer. This felt like an escape to a BBC show.

The narration was wonderful. He did great voices for all of the characters. Even when one character was talking to a crowd he did a stellar job voicing a lot of the people in the crowd and no one sounded like anyone else.

I enjoyed this so much I downloaded the first in this series and plan on having a go soon!

Enjoyed

I've enjoyed this series so far. Please keep them coming. I love the clean storylines and characters that grow throughout the story.

Sooo Much Fun!

Another Sheri Cobb South book on my Love It list! I haven't read the other's in this series but you really don't need to because she does an amazing job of giving the details you need to keep you from feeling lost or like you missed something important. I wouldn't mind reading the rest of the series since all of her books have turned out to be so much fun. The narrator does a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute listening to him. If you like the Regency style and clean romance then you'll love this book.

This book proves how amazing this series is!

Audiobook: Narrator – Noah Michael Lavine

Absolutely LOVED this audiobook! I never get tired of listening to this narrator. He gives an amazing performance to an era long past while not losing me to an accent that I might not be able to follow. Each character is clearly defined and of course, I can’t help but swoon, again, each time he does Ethan’s voice. But this time he’s introduced me to Theo and I was a bit worried it might be a little too much but as soon as this book began I knew it was going to be perfect. Highly recommend this narrator!

Theo has got himself into some hot water after the death of his father and then the very public break up from his paramour. With the probate of his father’s will too late to help, he asks for Ethan’s help to tide him over. Ethan however, cunning individual that he is, declines – with very good reason – and sets Theo up to work in the cotton mill.

Daphne and her mother, once the height of society, now operate a boarding house, each dreaming of more. When Theo arrives on their doorstep, it is in succession with another individual, a man set to beat Ethan in his bid for the seat in the Commons. With her mother pushing her towards one man and her heart yearning for another, Daphne’s dreams change a bit.

This was such a wonderful read/listen! I loved the lighthearted banter of the characters, the quirky individuals that preside at the boarding house and most importantly this hero and heroine. Daphne was just so sweet and her dreams really were simple but honest. Theo was stuck in a place that either way he was going to lose. My heart hurt for them both.

I’ve become a huge fan of this series and this book solidifies it as a winner all around. I can’t help but recommend it to anyone who likes a sweet historical romance with characters that come to life and fill your heart from the first page to the last.

The Desperate Duke

A sweet regency romance. I really loved the transformation that Theo underwent in this story, and Daphne is such a sweet, likable characters.

Sheri Cobb South has written a great story with a unique storyline. I look forward to checking out more of her books.

Noah Michael Levine did a nice job with the narration. There were a few small disruptions in the audio, but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment.

great listening to this book was narrated extremely well. loved listening to a book about a Duke that had to work for a while before he could have any money.

Good Read

The Desperate Duke (Weaver Book Four) was a good read by Sheri Cobb South. Theodore Rodney is twenty three when he becomes the Duke of Reddington, and it sends him into a panic. He finds himself with a lot of debts but can't touch his inheritance until his father's will is probated. His brother in law lends him money, but he must repay the loan by working in his mill. Daphne Drinkard and her mother fell on hard times. They must take in boarders to help them. I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

Sad to see the series end

The Duke of Reddington has some explaining to do. Before he inherits his dukedom, he spends more money than he actually can get to and as a result. is forced to work in Ethan Brundy's fabric shop to repay the depth. Fun ensues.

It's too bad this is the last book in the series. I have enjoyed living with the Brundy's and the nobles who needed to make room for them.
