Publisher's summary

He was her bitterest enemy….

Ash Turner has waited a lifetime to seek revenge on the man who ruined his family—and now the time for justice has arrived. At Parford Manor, he intends to take his place as the rightful heir to the dukedom and settle an old score with the current duke once and for all. But instead he finds himself drawn to a tempting beauty who has the power to undo all his dreams of vengeance….

And her dearest love

Lady Margaret knows she should despise the man who’s stolen her fortune and her father’s legacy—the man she’s been ordered to spy on in the guise of a nurse. Yet the more she learns about the new duke, the less she can resist his smoldering appeal. Soon Margaret and Ash find themselves torn between old loyalties—and the tantalizing promise of passion.

I love imperfect men.

This is my favorite book by Courtney Milan. The H and h are both delicious. It took time for me to get used to the narrator. She did a good job, though. The cover of the book reflected my image of the protagonists perfectly.

Good read

An exciting read
Not run of the mill
Characters that are real and think like us
interesting twist at its end

OMG this story is amazing!

I have to say when this first started I was a little leery but I was drawn in by the narrator. what an awesome story! I wish all heroes were like Ash. no matter how much you try to dislike him you can't help but like him. This was a masterfully written story.

Loved this

Historically informative, strong woman who with the help of a daring hero changed minds. Lots of twists could not stop listening.

Well thoughtout storyline

This one had an interesting story. It wasn't my favourite, but it was good. The story was well thought out. Hidden identity themed historical romance.

Excellent Historical Romance

The story in this audiobook brings a breath of fresh air to the genre. What might appear at first glance to be a "been there done that" storyline for a historical romance (an upper-class woman who is unappreciated by her family but whose loyalty to them comes before her own happiness and a hero who is determined to have revenge upon that family but finds himself conflicted when he falls for the heroine) is turned into something unexpected by above average writing and atypical characterizations. Although I found the hero to be a bit idealized (he has surprisingly modern-seeming sensibilities) that was offset by the fact that he certainly had flaws and was a very well-developed character. The interactions between the protagonists was fun to read and the external forces at play in keeping them apart were unique.

The narration was above average and I was surprised (and vastly disappointed) to find only two other audiobooks narrated by Rebecca De Leeuw on Audible. Her character differentiation was excellent, her voice is very pleasant, and her ability to traverse the entire emotional spectrum in both male and female character voices without over-dramatizing was stellar.

Horrible narrator that ruined the story instantane

The narrator was not well suited for this story. It was like having your grandmother reading the racy parts, which ruined it.

So good I wish I could buy it twice!

What made the experience of listening to Unveiled the most enjoyable?

This is a very rare find. A writer who writes a good story with fully fleshed out characters, and a reader who brings each moment to life. This book is up there with the best reads of Rosalyn Landor, and that's saying something. I enjoyed every moment, and stayed up long past my bedtime listening (which I hate to do since the book will then be over far to soon!)

Ash is a character that is wholly original. A strong male lead who is sensible and doesn't lead with his ego. Very well done.

I really wish Rebecca De Leeuw would have read more books available for me to buy. She's amazing. I will always look for books read by her.

Highly recommended.

wonderful

Courtney Milan is one of my favorites. Down to earth romance rather than over the top, but still very engrossing and entertaining.

Didn’t like Margaret

Margaret seemed kinda dull to me - not good enough for ash. Ash is a so perfect <3. The story overall was ok - The heroine ruined it. It’s hard to stay interested in a romance if you don’t root for the couple. I did get through it though mostly to find out what happened to the relationship between ash and his brothers. Mark and smite sound so lovable.
