The Duke and the Lady in Red

De: Lorraine Heath

Narrado por: Helen Lloyd, James Adams

Sparks fly in the finale of the Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James Place series, as the last wicked rogue meets his match.

When Rosalind Sharpe gains the attention of the deliciously wicked duke of Avendale, she's torn between her distracting attraction to the notorious rogue and the knowledge that he - rich as Croesus - is the perfect target for a deception that will put her swindling days behind her.

However, Avendale is no fool. After he discovers the tantalizing lady packing up to leave London with his coins in tow, he confronts her with a scandalous proposition: She can have all the money she requires - for a week in his bed.

Desperate for the funds, Rose agrees but on one condition: He must never question her motives. Avendale quickly sees beneath her mask and discovers she is more than passion and pleasure - she is everything he has ever desired. But claiming her requires he unveil her secrets and lose her forever. Unless he can put his own dark past aside and risk everything for a chance at love.

wonderful!

the narrator was not quite as good as the other I've heard read heaths books, but I still loved it. I actually cried at one point, and that is unlike me. if you want to read or listen to books with intelligence and heart, heath is definitely the way to go!

A Feast for My Ears

What made the experience of listening to The Duke and the Lady in Red the most enjoyable?

The story was great but the narrator's made the story telling even better. This was no light weight regency love story. I think it's post regency pre Victorian. I couldn't stop listening. I have these really great water proof blue tooth buds so the only time I wasn't listening I was either sleeping or doing something else I found annoying because it interfered with my listening

What did you like best about this story?

This story dealt with a very mature subject. It's not a hearts and flowers story.. It's serious drama.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Rose and the Duke first met

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes. When her brother died. I had to break out the tissue to dry my eyes and to blow nose

Loved this book!

Loved the characters! Harry made me cry! Their journey was redemptive, but more about the beauty of love and how personal sacrifice is a part if that experience, for a lover and for family. The story went into directions I did not anticipate. A pleasure to read!

Heartbreak and happily ever after all in one

Wonderful story...tears and joy...once you get used to the narrator the story unfolds into a tale of sacrifice, heartbreak and true love....

Great story

Excellent storyline, voice was pleasant and well done, definitely would recommend this book. Good characters

So unexpected, Lovely

I truly came to care for these character.
The story line was new and drew me in.
I am adding this title as a favorite in my library.

amazing

I loved this story. I fell in love with the characters and cried while listening. it's a great story I can't wait to read more

So much sadness but also love, redemption & forgiveness

The story started interesting but then became amazing in the last 1/4 of the book. Rose showed great kindness and generosity to the ones she loved and this encouraged the Duke to be able to in turn open up and provide the same. He even reconnected with his estranged family. I TRULY enjoyed the book although a small part also profoundly saddened me. Great story. The only thing that would have made the overall a 5 star would have been to cut back on some repetitive main character ramblings.

The Duke & his secretive Lady in red

I absolutely loved this Romance.Now it took some getting use to the narration but once you allowed yourself to get involved into the story,it starts off with treachery & seduction.Two people out for their "own"gains,alot of smoldering,romantic scenes,lies & deceit start off the story only to end up with a complete change of heart,some growing up for the Duke who finds himself finding love,selflessness in a woman who is reported to be deceptive but who turns out being a Lady Robin Hood.An absolutely heart warming wonderful story.I loved it. It literally brought quite a few tears to me eyes.I highly recommend this story,it was written well & also narrated well once you get use to the gravely,English accent.I would absolutely read again in the future.Wonderful:)

Her best

I was expecting another humorous and entertaining historical. it was that and more. This book really touched my heart! I believe it's her best yet. I haven't given 5 stars to anyone in a while. I did this book. The narration was good, but I had to speed up the playback from 1x to 1.25x. Sounded normal after that. Before, she sounded a bit like she'd taken too much hydrocodone! Loved loved this story!!
