More than a Duke

Heart of a Duke, Book 2

De: Christi Caldwell

Narrado por: Tim Campbell

Polite Society doesn't take Lady Anne Adamson seriously. However, Anne isn't just another pretty young miss. When she discovers her father betrayed her mother's love and her family descended into poverty, Anne comes up with a plan to marry a respectable, powerful, and honorable gentleman - a man nothing like her philandering father.

Armed with the Heart of a Duke pendant, fabled to land the wearer a duke's heart, she decides to enlist the aid of the notorious Harry, Sixth Earl of Stanhope. A scoundrel with a scandalous past, he is the last gentleman she'd ever wed... however, his reputation marks him the perfect man to school her in the art of seduction so she might ensnare the illustrious Duke of Crawford.

Harry, the Earl of Stanhope, is a jaded, cynical rogue who lives for his own pleasures. Having been thrown over by the only woman he ever loved so she could wed a duke, he's not at all surprised when Lady Anne approaches him with her scheme to capture another duke's affection. He's come to appreciate that all women are in fact greedy, title-grasping, self-indulgent creatures. And with Anne's history of grating on his every last nerve, she is the last woman he'd ever agree to school in the art of seduction. Only his friendship with the lady's sister compels him to help.

What begins as a pretend courtship, born of lessons on seduction, becomes something more, leaving Anne to decide if she can give her heart to a reckless rogue, and Harry must decide if he's willing to again trust in a lady's love.

Wow is all that can be said

Well played by the main characters and turned out beautiful in the end . I like the creative ways this culture handled difficult situations in their time period.

Lovely romance

Christi Caldwell has written a deeply romantic story about two people who are not perfect but perfect for each other. Tim Campbell is a wonderful narrator who brings the story to life.

Christi Caldwell is my new favorite author!

I love this series. This book was most entertaining. Very well done. I look forward to more by Christi Caldwell.

A Good Story

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book & am a huge fan of Tim Campbell...he could read the phone book & I would listen! This was a really good book to listen to & I enjoyed the story....the ending dragged on a little more than I like, Harry is smarter than that! Basically a good book I would recommend

glad to reach the end

the story was ok, but destroyed by all the mithering, and the repetitions of the reasons decisions were made. amateur, needs a good clean up.
