About this listen
For too long Miss Emily Parr has been subject to the whims of her indebted uncle and the lecherous advances of his repulsive business partner. Her plan to be done with dominating men forever is simple: find herself a kind husband who will leave her to her books. It seems an easy enough plan, until she is unexpectedly abducted by an incorrigible duke who hides a wounded spirit behind flashing green eyes. Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, spends countless nights at the club with his four best friends and relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with.
He has no plans to marry anytime soon - if ever. But when he kidnaps an embezzler's niece, the difficult debutante's blend of sweetness and sharp tongue makes him desperate for the one thing he swears he never wanted: love. Yet as they surrender to passion, danger lurks in Godric's shadowed past, waiting for him to drop his guard - and to rob him of the woman he can't live without.

Moral conundrum
Brilliant storytelling and narration. Slightly slow pace but didn’t detract. The moral issues raised were quite tormenting. Emily is a delightful balance of naivety and strength. The characters develop richly and without artifice. Difficult and delightful to listen to. Well done.

Terrible narration and childish start
I had to skip whole chapters in this book as o found the narrator tedious to listen to.
Storyline was ridiculous at the beginning and barely believable at the end
Hope the next book in the series is an improvement

A 'nice' if not ridiculous storyline at times.
There wasn't much of a storyline but the characters were fun. The author obviously paid no attention to the strictures of the time.
The story was dragged into monotony by the awful Narrator who talked as if she was giving football results. Very short statements with no flow.
Very poor narration.

Enjoyment marred.
Found the story was spoiled by the narrator sounding like she was talking to children.

Fabulous
This story definitely deserves the five stars I have awarded. The characters are extremely well written and quite believable. I recommend this book which includes the audible version to anyone who likes their historical romance with a a bit of steam. I will certainly continue to read books by this author.
