Summary

Her Aunt Allegra said, "A young lady with a fortune is subject to all sorts of untoward attentions by the worst sort of vagrants."

It is a lesson Tabitha Timmons, a penniless spinster, has never needed to heed. That is, until she is left a vast fortune payable only upon her marriage to the very respectable Mr. Barkworth - a match that offers little chance of discovering exactly what her aunt means by "untoward attentions."

But the same can't be said when the Duke of Preston happens along Tabitha's path. He spies a rebellious streak in her that matches his own, and he makes it his mission to save her from such a passionless match, interfering in her life at every turn. All too soon, Preston - whose very name spells ruin - has Tabitha caught between the good fortune that guarantees her security, and his kiss, which promises an entirely different kind of happily-ever-after.

Super Regency Romp

Lovable rouges, dastardly relatives and romantic but fiesty girls. Enjoyed every second.

Enjoyable nicely narrated book.

Love books with humour and romance. There is enough twists and turns in the story to keep you well entertained, wanting to listen to the whole book in one go. Ms Duerden is an exceptional narrator, she brings the characters to life.

An absolute delight

As a life long fan of Georgette Heyer it was a joy to discover Elizabeth Boyle. Along Came a Duke is full of wit, fun and endearing characters, beautifully narrated with clearly defined voices. An absolute joy to listen to. A thoroughly feel good novel and one I am sure will be read again and again.
