The Duke's Holiday

The Regency Romp Trilogy, Book 1

De: Maggie Fenton

Narrado por: Sue Pitkin

The cold, precise Duke of Montford demands things his way: neatly ordered, in place, and adhering closely to the rules. So he is furious when he learns that the tenant of his ducal estate has been dead for a year, and a stranger has been running the Honeywell business - which, by contract, is now Montford's. When he arrives in Yorkshire to investigate, he discovers that the estate is being run by an unruly, tomboyish woman - and a bluestocking at that!

Fiery redhead Astrid Honeywell is independent and educated. She's been handling the Honeywell family business for years. And she's not about to relinquish it to anyone - not even Montford - because of some archaic contract.

Montford and Astrid have an instant hatred for one another...and an undeniable, unspeakable attraction. They must resist this improper desire - after all, Montford has a fiancée in London. But when Astrid's life is placed in terrible danger, Montford finds he may be willing to risk everything to save her.

Very entertaining

I love listening to the this book. It kept
Me well entertained while working out doors.

dubious consent

I did not finish. dubious consent is a big NO for me. The narrator wad very good. But, I probably won't listen to this author, again.

Fun, Original Elements in Story

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would definitely try a later book by Maggie Fenton. But, this novel did not transport me to another time as much as I would prefer. The historical facts were there in abundance, but the "feel" of another time was not conveyed fully.

Would you ever listen to anything by Maggie Fenton again?

Yes, I liked her voice. She varied her voice for different characters and she conveyed the sense of fun the writer wanted to convey.

What does Sue Pitkin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The author added many true-to-the times historical aspects to the story, which I enjoyed. Her main characters had original qualities (No spoilers). Also, the lightness of touch was much appreciated. Too many romance novels read like being smothered in heavy velvet.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No, too predictable for a movie, so are most all romance novels
