The Duke of Deception

The Untouchables, Book 3

De: Darcy Burke

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

After five years on the Marriage Mart, Miss Aquilla Knox is ready for spinsterhood until a benefactress steps in to help her secure a husband. Only Aquilla doesn't actually want to marry - her failure is entirely on purpose. When the earl she's nicknamed the Duke of Deception sets his sights on her, she refuses to be drawn in by her attraction to him. If there's one thing she knows, it's that a gentleman is never what he seems.

Edward Bishop, Earl of Sutton, has a reputation for courting young misses and dropping them without a second thought. This has earned him a reputation for deceit, a description he can't refute because he does in fact, harbor secrets and will do anything - deceive anyone - to ensure they don't come to light. As he comes to know the charming Miss Knox, his resolve is tested. However, trust comes at a price and Ned won't pay with his heart.

Solid book

You get what you want with this when you choose a period romance. It’s sweet and slightly dramatic and overall enjoyable.

This one was not great to me, as the main female lead’s character could have had more depth, and it also bothered me that the entire base of her character changed between the last book and this one and the reader is just told that she’s been hiding her true feelings about marriage for years...but again, her character was pretty flimsy. She could have been anyone.

Other than that, it was fine.

Also Marian Hussey is a goddess and I love her.

wonderful story

love the narrative and the story. both had secrets. I love the series so far.

Won’t be disappointed

The story line was original and not the repeated version of other stories. The narrator was excellent I her story telling.

Okay Story. Great Narration!

This was an okay story. I liked Ned and Aquilla together, they made a good match and had genuine chemistry. There is a one very long sex scene with a lot of talking during it, but very well written. Not erotica not rated G.

The story line and plot was okay. I think there could have been more with the brother and then the end seemed rushed. Not much else really that happened.

As for the narration, it was brilliant! I love Marian Hussey. She does a superb job on all the voices, and the men sound like men. She reads with emotion and has a great reading voice.

More!

I really want to know more about the other characters too. I really like these people.
