“Lush and romantic, The Ice Duchess weaves a beautiful tale of hidden desire and a second chance at love too long denied.” — Sofie Darling, Award-Winning Author

“This book blew me away! Think Tessa Dare! One of the most romantic I’ve read in a long time.” — RynnieReads Reviews

The start of the wildly popular Duchess Society series!

A scandalous countess plays matchmaker… for the only man she’s ever loved.

Georgiana Whitcomb, the infamous Ice Countess, has no plans to marry again. Not after the heartbreak that once shattered her. But when a Christmas wager forces her into the company of Dexter Munro—the very man she once longed for—Georgiana’s carefully frozen heart begins to thaw.

Dex is days away from inheriting a dukedom and bound by a deathbed promise to find a bride by Twelfth Night. The problem? The only woman he’s ever wanted is the one who refuses to wed him.

Old wounds and forbidden longing collide in a scandalous holiday reunion where passion proves impossible to resist. But melting the Ice Duchess may take more than desire—it may take the kind of love that defies every rule of society.

If you crave second chances, searing chemistry, and a Regency romance dripping with heart and heat, The Ice Duchess will sweep you away.

Not much to it.

4 ⭐️s it’s probably generous. The plot line wasn’t bad - long separated, lovers reunited. The outline of the characters wasn’t bad - a heroine determined to help other women; an unpretentious soon-to-be Duke with a passion for science as hero. But somehow it never came together.
The main characters were sketched so lightly that I couldn’t get a sense of who they were and I couldn’t become invested in them. The romance fell flat for me without that essential connection to the hero and heroine.

EXCELLENT VIRTUAL VOICE NARRATION!!

The virtual Voice Audible was very good. Its a novella but I liked the quick story and the lead couple.
