Publisher's summary

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!

So Touching

This was the best of the series to me. I enjoyed it immensely. I cried for Harry but he was the hero of the story for me. This author is so amazing. She has touched my heart with each of her stories. BRAVO 👏

The plot. It always kept me guessing!

Wonderfully done! Had me crying one minute and smiling the next. I’ve enjoyed all of Lorraine Heaths novels but this one is especially exceptional.

Amazing writing, amazing listen

This is a story of love, sorrow....mostly love. It's been a long long time since a story made me cry...really cry. But I cried and cried over Harry. While it took a while for my ear to adjust to Helen Lloyd's narration, I now believe she's perfect for L Heath's writing. James Adams' diary reading is icing on the cake.

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
