The Duke's Club, Book 3

Narrado por: N. Ormerod

***A Steamy Regency Romance***

Hidden identities, secret pasts.

Lady Margaret Duval is being forced to marry her father’s best friend, a man she truly despises. A man she can never admire. Just once she wants to know what if feels like to love. To experience life as it was meant to be.

Pretending to be simply Meg Miller, a common lady’s maid, she sneaks away for a touch of adventure.

Renowned rake, the Duke of Suffolk, has grown tired of a hedonistic London. A few weeks traveling the back country of England sounds too appealing to ignore. Of course, a duke of the realm would never be accepted into that world. His only hope to blend in and find a touch of reality is by pretending to be simply Ian Temple, an itinerant painter traveling from village to village in search of the perfect subject.

Two people pretending to be someone else. Two people searching for more to life, hoping to find honesty and truth by hiding their reality, believing the other would never be accepted into their world.

good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

A narrator to kill a book!

Why? I realllly need to know WHY any writer, editor, producer, ANYONE would choose such a horrible narrator to represent their work!

This was a good story totally destroyed by a bad narrator.

good book. terrible Audible series problems

This is a 4.5 star book, a 3 star narrator presentation and a 1 star for Audible's mismanagement of this 2020 series.

AUDIBLE BUYERS BEWARE. TONS OF TECH PROBLEMS.

I own book 1 Duke's Desire, and it was on my Audiblr list. Then it disappeared. Now Amazon lists the audiobook as unavailable. So I had to away to access it as a Kindle book.

Book 2 has has similar problems as it disappeared after syncing to the Audible app.

Books 3 and 4 of Duke's Club series have audio quality that varies through a book. It sound like the narrator changes locations (back echo) or equipment. There are hundreds of spots where words or phrases repeat, like an old LP skipping and bouncing on the record. I love the vocal timber of the narrator, but authors that use her need to use intense oversight. For example: orientated DOES NOT mean oriented. Orientate is the past tense of orient or the far East. She makes r this error in each book. Also, I understand putting a teaser chapter at the end of the book. Buy if you do this it MUST be introduced with book title, series name and placement # and an invitation. If you just stick random chapters at the end of the book the author, publisher and narrator are acting disrespectful to their customers and look very unprofessional. Consumers will be cautious to buy in the future is you can't treat readers/listeners better.

The stories are good and deserve audiobook treatments with higher standards. I appreciate the inclusion of a tiny bit more history that this series offers, compared to so many historic romance series.

The for heros of the four book's formed the Duke's Club while at school. Now grown they are becoming the Dukes' Club, with a meaningful move of the punctuation mark. That construct, 4 peers bonded by boarding school injustice, seems very familiar, perhaps from a Victoria Alexander 2017 series?

Hidden Identity & Forbidden Romance +18 year read

Another fun steamy romance for the adult reader. As with this author's other books these are geared towards the adult reader mostly due to the amount of detailed bedroom scene information given and arousal talk. The story on this one is basically of two nobles who step out on a town under the disguise of an artist and a maid and then find themselves in a forbidden romance due to their families. It was quite fun but I did struggle with the narrator. It was better when played at 1.25 speed.

—I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

True love

I truly enjoyed this book. It is an easy listen of true love from the past. The reader does great with the accent.
