Publisher's summary

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.

Delightful romance with excellent Narration,

Humorous romance with never a dull moment in the story. Many interesting characters that were fully sketched in by the author wonderfully narrated. I read many romances but this one was fresh and fun. I hope the author can write another with the same quality.

very enjoyable

This was a lovely surprise, very funny and great listen. Having read some of the reviews and since it was on sale, gave it a try. It is worth a credit even without the sale. The duke ends up landing in quite a farce, which turns his normal super-structured life upside down. The dialog between the Duke and Astrid was well written. Lots of quirky characters, the great-aunt was one of my favorites. Some of the scenes had me laughing out loud. Narrator did a great job, only complaint was that many of the men's voices were too nasal, seemed to fall back on that voice too often. I highly recommend this book for something different among the typical regency romances.

Loved it

This is my first time writting a review, but I had to do it because I loved this audiobook. It is funny and romantic.

Absolutely Delightful

What a pleasant surprise! Bought on a whim, having never before read this author or heard this narrator. I now have a new favorite, and can't wait for more from these two! Unique, laugh-out-loud scenes and storyline, fabulous characters, both main and supporting. An unlikely, imperfect hero and heroin, but PERFECT for each other!

Flawed Awesomeness

This audio book has been one of the best listens ever!!! The characters were full of your not so typical characteristics. These characters were easy to love. The Male and female leads were the most hilariously flawed people I have ever seen. This was laugh out loud funny. The romance seemed genuine and the naughty bits were HOT!!!

I will definitely listen to this again. I can not wait to the release of the other books by this author!!!

Very Entertaining!

I actually laughed out loud in various parts. I was looking for a fun romance and picked this one based on reviews. It was very entertaining and did not let me down. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Fabulous and funny

So many funny scenes and the narrator brought them to life.
I read so many books and love historicals but many repeat similar themes.
This book is so unique from the typical pattern. I loved it.
A great listen/read.

Very enjoyable fairy tale of a book

Adventure, love, abduction, obsession, humor, hea, perfectly enjoyable listen. Plan to listen again on a day I need some light-hearted pleasure.

I tried twice but I couldn't get pass the narrator

I tried twice to listen to this story but I couldn't get pass the narration. Her voice was irritation squared. I made it too the third chapter then gave up. Not worth the credit

absolutely amazing!

I was blown away by how much I loved this book! it was very well written. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, and the narration was superb!
