Publisher's Summary

The sixth steamy audiobook in The 1797 Club series from USA Today Best-seller Jess Michael.

Lucas Vincent may be the Duke of Willowby but he’s never acted as such. He’s been too busy working for the war department as a spy. But years of dangerous work has finally caught up to him, and he was involved in a violent attack that nearly killed him. Forced home, his angry, aggressive desire to get back in the field and find out to who betrayed him is keeping him from healing.

Diana Oakford was raised by a physician who served the King’s war department, and she knows better than most the dangers that job entails. She was also trained in healing, so when she’s asked to come and assist with Lucas’s recovery, she has a hard time refusing.

Once they’re alone together, an unexpected connection begins to grow between these two people who have fought their emotions all their lives, and more begins to heal than just Lucas’s broken body. But just when they start to believe they could find some kind of happiness, the past rears its ugly head and Lucas will have to choose between the life he once led and the woman who has changed his world.

Disappointing

The book is well written, but it is so poorly read or performed that is gets nauseating....turnly. I couldn't continue listening. If you're unsure, listen to the sample. I definitely didn't prior to purchasing.

New narrator please

The story line was ok but the narration was terrible I had to speed it up to 1.5 to get through the story, even then there were longer than needed pauses. I will be returning the book. I will never listen to this another time and plan to stay clear of this narrator. I don’t understand how the people who are editing the audio of the book don’t notice these things, have her read at a normal speed and tell her to quit pausing.

Beat narrator!!!

I think I can listen to anything narrated by Danielle O’Farrell... wonderful on all 10 books I’ve listened to.....

Is the Duke truly injured?

As the series has progressed the covers have become more provocative. In the first picture, you could just see a lady, now we are dealing with courtesans, undercover.
This story had good bones, but they get hidden under the need for erotic sex and double entendre.
The narrator still can't do mens voices and the women's voices have become squeaky.
Why have an seriously injured Duke? If he has to continually forget he is indeed hurt.
It probably doesn't help, that due to "Lockdown", I am listening to them one after another. This shows up the errors, brings to your attention how erotic sex, imaginative sex, double entendres and constantly thinking about sex; overtakes the story line.
