The Duchess Takes a Husband

Gilded Age Heiresses, Book 4

By: Harper St. George

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

Despite her illustrious title, Camille, Duchess of Hereford, remains what she has always been—a pariah. Though her title means she's technically accepted by London Society, the rebellious widow with her burgeoning interest in the suffrage movement and her American ways isn't exactly high on every hostess's guest list. But Camille starts to wonder if being an outcast is not without its perks when the tantalizing answer to her secret fear appears in the shape of Jacob Thorne, the illegitimate son of an earl and co-owner of London's infamous Montague Club.

Jacob is used to making deals with his club members—he's just not accustomed to them being beautiful women. Nor have the terms ever been so sweetly seductive as Camille's shocking proposition. To finally buy his own club and gain the crucial backing of investors, Camille offers Jacob the respectability of a fake engagement with a duchess. In return, the tempting widow has one condition: she wants Jacob to show her if it's possible for her to experience pleasure in bed.

The lure of such a bargain proves too delicious to resist, drawing the enterprising rogue and the wallflower duchess into a scandalous game and an even more dangerous gamble of the heart.

Full of longing and romance!

Best book of series! Absolutely loved this finale! Some history (would have enjoyed more Suffrage content), love and laughter! Rich details combined with a great storyline made this book bing worthy!!! Was up all night listening until the satisfying end!

Just Perfect

Finally this last, lovely heiress gets her due.
I loved the story, particularly the personalities of the couple, and the narration is superb! I reread it a few more times!

A Listen Taught While Entertained

The Duchess Take a Husband is a take on the “teach me” trope. Camille needed to be taught that wasn’t broken from her abusive husband (no deceased). Jacob is the illegitimate son an earl and owns a gaming hell. Jacob falls first and there is mutual pining. I love how he is gentle with her. I love how Camille grows and comes into her own and chooses herself instead of placating others at the expense of her emotional wellbeing. It’s such a beautiful story, and my favorite in a very strong historical romance series.

Loved the series

Thoroughly enjoyed this series and will read more by this author. I love Justine Eyre! Her narration is perfect for this series.

Enjoyed for the most part

Great story. The only objection I have is with the narration. What happened Justine? Not her usual voice.
