Publisher's summary

RITA Award Winner, Historical Romance, Short, 2015

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 26-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.

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.

I have mixed feelings about this book.

I laughed a few times and was deeply touched on several occasions. Sadly, the readers interpretation of the heroine was often frustrating to me. She sounded too bland most of the time. This made a big difference in my enjoyment of the story. Otherwise, a fun listen.

Its a bit slow

It was hard to get through I found myself not paying attention and easily distracted from the story and the narration put me to sleep
