The Duke That I Marry

A Spinster Heiresses Novel

De: Cathy Maxwell

Narrado por: Mary Jane Wells

Once upon a time there were three young ladies who, despite their fortunes, had been on the marriage mart a bit too long. They were known as “the Spinster Heiresses”....

Is it wrong for a woman to want more?

Not if she is a Spinster Heiress. They do not settle. Any young miss would be very lucky to find herself promised to a man like the duke of Camberly. However, Miss Willa Reverly has watched her friends marry for love. Camberly may be the prize of the season, but she will not be “sold” to any man. She wants his devotion or she wants nothing at all.

When is a marriage of convenience inconvenient?

Newly named to the ducal title, Matthew Addison is determined to discover the secrets behind Mayfield, the bankrupt estate he has inherited. He doesn’t have time to coddle a headstrong heiress who is determined to ditch him over something as silly as “love”. Little does he know that his questions will place her in jeopardy. Now, he must do what he must to save them both.

Could it be that in running from danger, they might be racing headlong into a truly unexpected fate: falling in love?

Weak

Cathy Maxwell is capable of outstanding novels with original, captivating story lines. This one was relatively weak & overly predictable. More a short story or novella than a novel. Mary J Wells turned in a quality performance with easy to distinguish voices for each character.

Loved this!

Not overly long, so character development, plot etc concise for he genre. Loved the dialogue between characters.

Narrator is a master. She really adds to the experience of the story!

Loved the Duke in this story!

I loved this Duke because he was very compassionate - he was thoughtful, patient, and very kind. Everything she thought about him (all her prejudices) were counteracted by his actions.

love it short heroine!

Write on dear one.

Great pairing of author and narrator

There is something to be said for the right narrator of a book, when the delivery brings it to life!

Well done. No insta-love, thankfully! Some real heat, not overly graphic, but well done. The Whodunit was a tad easy to reason out. But it was very well done.

Creditworthy? I’d say yes!

Delightfully Entertaining

The characters in this book are interesting...not complex...but interesting and likeable. The story is a lovey-dovey romance with a little mystery and a few relationship challenges thrown in to add spice. MJW did a a great job as usual in adding humor and personality to the story. This is another keeper for me.

Good narration

A decent story for a long drive, and good narration. Story was predictable, and easy to listen to, but I won’t be giving it a re-listen.

Lovely story. Awesome narration!!

Mary Janes Wells is an awesome narrator for historical romance novels. She is amazingly good with doing all the characters different voices. No one compares to her. I think the novels would be good on their own but she makes them 100 times better. Love, love, love everything she narrates!!!

Love story

I loved the book. The narrator made it so enjoyable. I didn't have to try to figure out the words.

Great story. original

I liked that the story was original. When reading a series sometimes they can get yo be same plot different names.
