The Forbidden Duke

The Untouchables, Book 1

By: Darcy Burke

Narrated by: Marian Hussey

Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel's excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she's lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety. She definitely shouldn't be in the arms of a man capable of utterly destroying what little remains of her reputation.

Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is known as the Forbidden Duke, a mysterious, intimidating figure who enters society just once each year at his stepmother's ball. A decade ago, he was a devil-may-care rake until his idle roguery brought about the ruin of Eleanor Lockhart - and his resulting self-imposed isolation. Now she's back, and she needs his help. But by saving her, he may just ruin her life all over again.

The Forbidden Duke by Darcy Burke (Audiobook)

Series: The Untouchables, Book 1

3 Stars - This was my first historical by Darcy Burke. I found the writing good, and I enjoyed the setting of a girl having a season. I haven’t read one of these in a while and it was nice to be back in the ballroom, so to speak. Titus and Eleanor had good chemistry together, and were overall well rounded characters.

This was also my first time listening to Marian Hussey. I felt she did a great job narrating. I would happily listen to her again.

Fairytale romance!

Loved the story! Dashing hero and a strong heroine! Marian Hussey did a superb job bringing this story to life......she is such a good storyteller😍

Romance is still alive.

Loved this book. It was a very well written story. Lighthearted and a good ending. Could have heard more about some of the other characters but storyline was good.
