The Duke I'm Going to Marry

The Farthingale Series, Book 2

By: Meara Platt

Narrated by: Hollis McCarthy

Daffodil Farthingale, known as Dillie to her friends and family, is horrified to learn the man she has just rescued from ruffians outside the Farthingale townhouse is none other than Ian Markham, the notorious Duke of Edgeware. If the Chipping Way bachelor curse holds true, she is doomed to marry the wretched rakehell.

Dillie wants a man who will love her and be faithful in the marriage. The duke will never do, for he harbors secret torments and has sworn he will never fall in love or marry. When scandal breaks - after all, he does spend a week recovering in her bed - Dillie leaves London, little knowing that the handsome duke has just left town as well.

With the Farthingale family and his assailants on their trail, Ian and Dillie suddenly find themselves trapped in the same charming inn during a torrential rainstorm. Can Ian overcome his haunted past, and can Dillie ever overcome her mistrust of him to wind up falling in love?

An entertaining, humorous, Regency romance

The Duke I’m Going to Marry is an entertaining, often humorous, Regency Romance with a bit of spice.

The narrator of the audiobook does a terrific job breathing life into the characters and emotion and humor into the words.

Recommended for mature readers/ listeners: contains sex scenes.

Outstanding

This is a beautifully written love story. There’s no reason to write my own synopsis since you may read the author’s synopsis instead. This story will capture your attention and have you hanging on every single word until the end. Richly developed characters and secondary characters as well. A full, rich ensemble of characters make up this story. There is suspense, villains, schemes, family devotion, family dysfunction, well developed backstories, and love. A beautiful, endearing, romantic love story. There are descriptive sexual details in one part of the story. If it’s too much for your taste, fast forward that part. But don’t let that stop you from getting this book. I listened to the audiobook version. I enjoyed the narrator, but have one little critique for her. And that is not to give such a mature, sing song voice to an 18 year old female. On a positive mention for this narrator, she has great emotion in her performance of this story and she has a well trained & beautiful singing voice. I highly recommend this audiobook.

wonderful tale

a great listen, narration was spot on. characters were fun and interesting and easy to like with the exception of the nasty ones, they were most easy to dislike.
