Ne'er Duke Well

De: Alexandra Vasti

Narrado por: Mhairi Morrison

In this steamy Regency romp, Lady Selina is determined to find the Duke of Stanhope the perfect wife—the only problem is she's starting to think that might be her.

Peter Kent—newly inherited Duke of Stanhope and recently of New Orleans, Louisiana—must become respectable. Between his radical politics and the time he interrupted a minor royal wedding with a flock of sheep—not his fault!—he’s developed a scandalous reputation at odds with his goal of becoming guardian to his half-siblings. For help, he turns to the cleverest and most managing woman of his acquaintance, Lady Selina Ravenscroft.

Selina is society’s most proper debutante, save one tiny secret: she runs an erotic circulating library for women. When Peter asks for her help, she suggests courtship and marriage to a lady of unimpeachable reputation. (Which is to say, definitely not herself.)

But matchmaking doesn’t go according to plan. Peter’s siblings run rampant on Bond Street. Selina ends up in the Serpentine. And worst of all, the scorching chemistry between Peter and Selina proves impossible to resist. For the disreputable duke and his unpredictable matchmaker, falling in love just might be the ultimate scandal.

Perfect!

This book has everything I love: strong female; strong, kind male; steamy scenes; true love; and no wickedly evil backstabbers or deception!!! Aside from the main romance, there are a couple interesting storylines that keep the plot going. I highly recommend this book and this author!!!!

Good read!

Dislike female voice for male characters. Each gender should voice their own character in the book.

Unique

This book had a unique storyline. The narrator was extremely slow though and I had to speed it up to 1.5x

Funny, Sweet and Heartwarming

This delightful gem had me laughing, swooning, and fully immersed from start to finish! The narration was perfect, particularly with Peter’s Louisiana drawl. Highly recommend!

Fun, Regency rom-com. Spicy scenes did NOT disappoint.

The narrator was fantastic, I just had to increase the speed as the talking was a bit too slow for me to follow. Once I did that, I was fully engaged with the story. Awesome debut novel!! Can’t wait for the next one in the series!!
