What the Duke Doesn't Know

The Duke's Sons, Book 2

De: Jane Ashford

Narrado por: Naomi Frederick

Lord James Gresham, the fifth son of the Duke of Langford, is at a loss over what to do next. He’s made his fortune as a captain in the Royal Navy. Perhaps now he should find a proper wife and set up his nursery, but the sea calls to him. His search for a wife leaves him uninspired, until a beauty with a heart for revenge sweeps into his life.

Half-English, half-Polynesian, Kawena Benson is out to avenge her father and reclaim a cache of stolen jewels. Her chief suspect is Lord James, as she points out with a pistol. There’s nothing for James to do but protest his innocence and help Kawena search for the treasure, even though it turns his world upside down.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Throw in Ashford's gift for creating intriguingly different characters and her dry sense of humor, and you have a romance worth cherishing.' (Booklist)

'Kudos to Ashford for bringing a free-spirited Polynesian heroine into strict Regency society, adding diversity and interest to a charming romance.' (RT Book Reviews)

'Ashford's delightful second venture into the social lives of the six sons of the Duke of Langford (after Heir to the Duke) pokes gentle fun at British society stuffiness in a story that pits propriety against authenticity, passion and personality.' (Publishers Weekly)

Not a very strong foundation

it just didn't work out for me. it didn't hold me. For to good narrating

Good but not excellent

overall, the book was good though I didn’t really love the heroine. And then she didn’t give the boat to her husband to be as planned. She was on the selfish end, but it was pretty much good. Unfortunately, it ends so abruptly you feel like didn’t finish the story. so I guess they are just going to ride in her new ship and if she has kids, they’ll be there too. I don’t see that working. it really could’ve been amazing story but it just didn’t make it.
