Publisher's summary

Suspended from his work as an agent for the Crown, Griffin, Duke of Strathmore, exists under a dark cloud of suspicion for crimes he didn’t commit. He’s on a desperate race to clear his name by any means until a grave error lands him under house arrest with the last sort of distraction he needs.

Lady Violet West is about to be married to the most boring man in England. When the disgraced Duke of Strathmore lands in her lap - literally - she decides he’s the answer to her longing for adventure. Although her brother is convinced of Strathmore’s guilt, Violet isn’t as certain. Griffin doesn’t want her interference.

Violet won’t take no for an answer. So begins a secret partnership between the fallen duke and the determined lady. Their quest to uncover the truth leads to danger and desire. But the most perilous risk of all is losing their hearts.

inner dialogue abounds

I'm trying to finish this book, if it weren't for the narrator I would have already given up. the majority of the book is repetitive inner dialogue. the plot could be good if the story would get on with it. if you like books with 80 to 90% angst filled self talk then you will love this book.

Fabulous!

This is such a fun and delicious book! Full of wit & humour (I adored Lord Flowerpot & Aunt Horrible”), tears, and a couple I loved—you’ll love Violet & Griffin!

Just couldn’t finish

I rarely don’t finish a book but with this one I found myself drifting off thinking of other things i could be doing rather than listening. This tells me the plot didn’t grip my attention, the narrator didn’t spark my interest, and there was so much detailed sex it totally took away from the story. I only got through chapter 14 and I finally gave up trying to concentrate on the story.

A good listen.

The descriptions of the sex scenes are explicit, so if you don't like that you should skip it.

Keeps Getting Better

Dangerous Duke is good. I may like this one the best so far. From the beginning there is humor and a nice feel to the characters. Once again the individual's background affects who they become as adults and in all three stories so far, they are very different. This book is steamy as well.

Love this

I loved this book. Great story line. Main characters were funny and I fell in love with them. Sexual content and language appropriate to the story telling. Cannot wait to read the next book in the series!!

Dangerous Duke

Again this book fits in perfectly with this series. Turns.out the color.putple is my favorite as well. Too.bad her eyes were not violet.as well.

It's easy to love these characters

Griffin and Violet were easy characters to root for. Griffin's rough edges, despite being nobility, make him more likeable. Violet is daring, helping her character stand out. The two people being stuck in the house together and falling in love storyline is something any romance reader is familiar with. It could have easily gone down the path of expected and boring. But author Scarlett Scott does a great job making the familiar story-line fresh and interesting. I continue to think she relies far too heavily on sex to depict physical chemistry and love. At a certain point it feels like a bit of a crutch and takes away from the story. That said Rosalyn Landor continues to be a perfect narrator for this book series. She can make almost any audiobook amazing.

My favorite of them all!

Love the heroine and the hero! The story made sense and flowed. The narrator was excellent in exuding emotion and giving each character their own personality. I actually felt for the characters emotions.
Loved it both times I’ve listened to it!

Wonderful

The only thing that was tough for me is the F - bomb as I know they didn't use that word back then. Other wise it was a wonderful story.
