Resumen del Editor

As a notorious member of the Heirs' Club, Bray Drakestone can't resist a challenge from one of his well-heeled colleagues - especially when it involves money and horses. But the friendly wager takes an unexpected and deadly turn.

Bray is forced to agree to marry one of his challenger's five sisters - sight unseen. Now gamblers all over London are placing bets on whether Bray will actually go through with it.... Miss Louisa Prim, the eldest sister, doesn't care a whit what the reckless rogue at the Heirs' Club promised her brother - she has no intention of marrying the future duke of Drakestone. Bray, however, sees her rejection as another challenge. He bets that the fiery Miss Prim will not only agree to marry him; she will propose to him! But why does her opponent have to be a divinely handsome scoundrel? And so sweetly, irresistibly seductive....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] strong plot with enough twists to satisfy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Unsatisfactory ending

The story was great, but there were a lot of gaps. The ending was especially unsatisfactory. So many unanswered questions!

3.5 Stars

The Duke in My Bed by Amelia Grey (Audiobook)
Narrated by: Barrie Kreinik
Series: Heirs’ Club of Scoundrels 1

3.5 Stars - This was a good read. There were some parts that really pulled me in and showed me the feelings between Bray and Louisa, but sadly, for me, there wasn't enough of that. The storyline was good and I enjoyed Bray learning about what a family is. I enjoy the way this author writes and will definitely continue with this series.

This was the first time I listened to Barrie Kreinik. I felt she did a good job.

Missing something

The book was satisfactory, a little more romance would have been nice. It felt like something was missing from the story.

A great romance

I cried at the end. It was a wonderful romance
I hope there is more from this author. I would get them all.

Romantic and Fun

The story is romantic, amusing and fun even if at times heart wrenching. I loved the leading characters but the young sisters added a lot of fun to the story. The narrator made the story come to life. This is the first time I listen to a story for this author but I plan to listen to more.

Very well done

The story was well written. The narration was remarkable. I was captivated with it and listened when I normally wouldn't.

Fun and easy

I’m not sorry I listened. It was totally predictable but cute and I liked the hero. heroine was a bit annoying at times but it didn’t ruin it. There was a bit of steam and H and H had chemistry

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This book made my Mother's Day complete!

I loved this book! From beginning to end it was one of those can't stop listening to it books. The characters are all so special. I didn't want it to end. I laughed so hard at the part when the Duke first goes to meet his new wards, it was genius! Amelia Grey is new to me, but has shot to the top of my must read list. I'm am a self proclaimed romance super fan, considering the volume of romances I have either read or listened to well over 500, so when I say get "get this one" I can tell you with confidence, you're going to love it.

The narrator can either make or break a book for me. If I'm going through a time when I want to find something new, I might look at what a really good narrator has done in the past, which I started doing with my all time favor narrator, Josephine Bailey. I honestly thought, at times, that the narrator was Josephine Bailey. I just hope Barrie Kreinik will narrate all of Amelia Grey's books, past as well as future books, because the combination is wonderful!

Historical romance with two stubborn characters

My first experience with this author and also this narrator. I enjoyed both. Duke Bray Drakestone is having a devil of a time with Miss Louisa Prim. The woman refuses to marry him. Both Bray and Louisa are headstrong, proud, arrogant and come from completely different upbringings. Let the HEA challenge begin. Adding to the fun of the story are Miss Prim's four active younger sisters. Be aware of a few kissing scenes and one fairly explicit scene. These do not take over the charm of the story and can be easily skimmed.

Heartwarming

An easy listen. No huge drama, I mean you witness a death, attempted mugging, and a physical altercation, yet they are approached in the book as if nothing really happened. My favorite part was the family dinner. Before and after the Duke arrived.
