About this listen

The one woman he will never forget

Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has lived the last three years in self-imposed solitude, paying the price for a mistake he can never reverse and a love he lost forever. The dukedom does not wait, however, and Haven requires an heir, which means he must find himself a wife by summer's end. There is only one problem - he already has one.

The one man she will never forgive

After years in exile, Seraphina, Duchess of Haven, returns to London with a single goal - to reclaim the life she left and find happiness, unencumbered by the man who broke her heart. Haven offers her a deal: Sera can have her freedom just as soon as she finds her replacement - which requires her to spend the summer in close quarters with the husband she does not want but somehow cannot resist.

A love that neither can deny

The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day The Day of the Duchess.

A story About Stupidity.

The Heroine is said to have trapped a Duke, when it all goes "Pear Shaped", she flees and makes a new life for herself, leaving her family behind.
The Hero, is the Duke, who seems to be quite happy to risk his "loves" reputation. Then blames her for everything that happens, suffers a major "Temper Tantrum", lashing out at everything.
Having worked through his Tantrum, he realises he loves her, starts searching the world to find her.
She returns with a plan to secure her future and then immediately turns into a "Door Mat" for her husband.
The "love lorn swain", continues to be a "Douchebag", manipulates her and justifies his treatment by saying. He wishes to make her see they belong.
The only light moments are when the sisters are involved.
This is a very Toxic Relationship.
I don't enjoy stories were we are described one character, but the person involved is an exact opposite, ie the strong woman, turns out to be a wimp.

The wimpy duke

Sad that women were treated this way, as chattel. Sera is very powerful and didn’t deserve either the duke or her mother. He is eventually redeemed but he’s a spoiled brat and a slow learner. I liked the narration, it gives body to the story.

I really tried

I found the narrative stiff (no pun intended) and finally too frustrating to listen to. There was no depth to the reading.

The story compared to 'bombshell' (which was brilliant) and 'Rogue not Taken' was ... was frustrating. i struggled with this story as the Duke was manipulative and cruel. I felt sorry for Sarah. I couldn't finish this book.
