What I Did for a Duke

For years, he's been an object of fear, fascination...and fantasy. But of all the wicked rumors that shadow the formidable Alexander Moncrieffe, Duke of Falconbridge, the ton knows one thing for certain: Only fools dare cross him. And when Ian Eversea does just that, Moncrieffe knows the perfect revenge: He'll seduce Ian's innocent sister, Genevieve - the only Eversea as yet untouched by scandal. First he'll capture her heart...and then he'll break it.

But everything about Genevieve is unexpected: the passion simmering beneath her cool control, the sharp wit tempered by gentleness...and though Genevieve has heard the whispers about the duke's dark past, and knows she trifles with him at her peril, one incendiary kiss tempts her deeper into a world of extraordinary sensuality. Until Genevieve is faced with a fateful choice...is there anything she won't do for a duke?

Finally a good story

In this bing society, it’s so easy to become bored. I was looking for a romance story with depth , angst, fire and a good HEA. This was it . I only read one of the other books in this series and that was enough to not get lost in this one. It can be read as a standalone, so don’t feel as if you have to start from a book one. The narrator is always one of my favorites, and she did a stellar job here as usual.

Is it Lust or Love?

Genevieve has loved Harry for years, they are such good friends, they like the same things. She has waited three years for him to propose and then he tells her he is going to propose to their friend Millicent. This sends her into a slow developing romance with another house-party guest, Alex Moncrieff, the Duke of Falconridge. But Alex is at the party to seek revenge on Genevieve's brother, Ian, and what better way than to seduce his sister.

Julie Anne Long brings about what at first seems impossible. Turning a love addled miss into a passionate siren with the "wrong" man.

This is probably my favorite book of the series and I'm delighted that the series is now on Audible.
I also initially found the narration to be too fast but I could adjust it on my Fire tablet so it was not a problem.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
