Publisher's summary

Author Gaelen Foley presents the Inferno Club - a scandalous society of London aristocrats, notorious for their shameless pursuit of pleasure. But the Club's members have a higher, secret purpose: spying for the Crown.

Rohan Kilburn, the Duke of Warrington, has quite a reputation. He's "The Beast" - a debauched rake whose many exploits echo in the countryside surrounding his ancient familial castle. In truth, he's devoted his life to the Inferno Club, swearing off love for duty in an attempt to thwart a tragic family curse.

Beautiful spitfire Kate Madsen wants nothing to do with "The Beast" after she is mistakenly abducted by smugglers and delivered into his fearsome clutches. Rohan similarly refuses to fall for her, mindful of the many dangers in his life. But when she starts to thaw his icy heart, Rohan knows he will do anything to make Kate his own.

I liked this

There's a reason I don't read reviews before reading/listening to books. I really enjoyed this. I wasn't sure if I'd continue with the series after Book 1. That seemed very disjointed and hard to enjoy. But this one I did like.

I'm a fan of bluestockings and throw in a Duke who's afraid (although he'll never admit to that) to fall in love. Maybe it's the ancient family curse or maybe it's his occupation but he won't allow himself to admit his love for Kate.

Now throw in spies, ocean voyages, kidnapping, and a cave exploration worthy of Indiana Jones. This is a long book but I found it easy to listen to and follow. Narrator was good. I will continue with the series.

flighty female

Not a bad story, but why make the female (who's supposedly smart and raised with man's education) so flighty at times?? It's the typical "all he'll is breaking loose and she decides that the time to take a stand and not move until she says what's on her mind!"

Dangerously delicious!

This was SO much fun... a crazy ride through unbelievable adventure and the treacherous waters of the hearts truest desires.
Excellent narration, incredible heated romance and a credit well spent!

Loved this book!!!!

This book was one of my favorites. I was on the edge of my seat throughout and I finished the book in about a day because of it. I highly recommend this book. I also thought the narrator was excellent which can make or break an audiobook!

First for Author and Narrator..AMAZINGLY GOOD!!

Would you listen to My Dangerous Duke again? Why?

This is the first book from Foley I've listened to. Loved it!! The narrator was splendid!! Going to look for more books👍🏼

Loved it! Loved it!

Compelling and better than the 1st book in the series. Creative and original storyline and would reccomend!

Kate had such a darling character

I really enjoyed reading this book although it took me almost a week and a half to do so. The characters seem real and the interactions believable. I have purchased another book I have been wanting to read but I would love to get back to this series after I finish that book and find-out what happens next.

Syrupy romance

I enjoyed the plot with Fantasy type organizations but felt there was something off in the use of modern day vocabulary like condom and syrupy aspects of the romance.

British Romance meets Goonies

The story was good, slow in some parts that seem to drag on, but not terribly steamy.

Beastly Good

Any additional comments?

The heroine arrives at the Beast's castle as a prisoner dressed like a prostitute. The Beast doesn't know she is forced to come. The H is really not a Beast. That is a facade. He eventually tries to help the heroine, Kate. They go through dangerous experiences to find out the truth of Kate's background and they bond during the process. This is an engaging book that kept my attention throughout. It is not great literature, but it is entertaining and likable literature. I loved the characters and the plot. Well worth the price.
