Romancing the Duke

Castles Ever After

By: Tessa Dare

Narrated by: Carmen Rose

As the daughter of a famed author, Isolde Ophelia Goodnight grew up on tales of brave knights and fair maidens. She never doubted romance would be in her future, too. The storybooks offered endless possibilities.

And as she grew older, Izzy crossed them off. One by one by one.

Ugly duckling turned swan?　

Abducted by handsome highwayman?　

Rescued from drudgery by charming prince?

No, no, and . . . Heh.

Now Izzy’s given up yearning for romance. She’ll settle for a roof over her head. What fairy tales are left over for an impoverished twenty-six year-old woman who’s never even been kissed?

This one.

A dark tale about a Duke

This was a good twisted tale about a Duke with a disability. The narrator held my attention throughout the entire story. This was a twisted love with different twist and turns. Well worth the credit.

Really enjoyed this book.

This was an interesting story and different from your normal historical romance and I don't want to give any spoilers away. The hero and heroine were strong, smart and witty. Some good secondary characters. Plenty of dialogue and some hot and steamy sex scenes.

The narrator did a fantastic job I thought. You could totally tell the difference between the male characters and female characters. I would definitely listen to more of Carmen Rose narrations.

Loved this unique book!

This book was so much fun! Ransom, our hero, was funny and sweet. The conversations between him and Izzy were so good. I love the Moranglians and Ransom’s reaction to their special craziness! It was such a good story and Carmen Rose did amazing voices!

Sweet, fun and spicy

I’m sure many people will fault the story for “historical accuracy” or other such nonsense, but I loved this cute little romantic romp. With a big wink and a nod, Tessa Dare revels in flaunting all things ‘tropeful’ in a cleverly modern romcom in fancy dress. Truly a fun, heart lightening read.

Great read!!!

This was a well written romance. I listen to it twice in a row. I could not put my headphones down. The reader was also very good with her voices.
