Project Duchess

By: Sabrina Jeffries

Narrated by: Beverley A. Crick

From New York Times best-selling author Sabrina Jeffries comes a sparkling new series about an oft-widowed mother’s grown children who blaze through society in their quest for the truth about their fathers...and in the process find that love just might conquer all....

A series of stepfathers and a difficult childhood have left Fletcher “Grey” Pryde, fifth duke of Greycourt, with a guarded heart, enviable wealth, and the undeserved reputation of a rogue. Grey’s focus on expanding his dukedom allows him little time to find a wife. But when his mother is widowed yet again and he meets the charmingly unconventional woman managing his stepfather’s funeral, he’s shocked to discover how much they have in common. Still, Grey isn’t interested in love, no matter how pretty, or delightfully outspoken, the lady....

Beatrice Wolfe gave up on romance long ago, and the arrogant duke of Greycourt with his rakish reputation isn’t exactly changing her mind. Then Grey agrees to assist his grief-stricken mother with her latest “project”: schooling spirited, unfashionable Beatrice for her debut. Now that Beatrice is seeing through Grey’s charms to his wounded heart, she’s having trouble keeping him at arm’s length. But once Grey starts digging into her family’s secrets, she must decide whether her loyalties lie with her family...or with the man whose lessons capture her heart....

“Anyone who loves romance must read Sabrina Jeffries!” (Lisa Kleypas, New York Times best-selling author)

not Jeffries best effort.

:very confusing at first. so many characters. the second half was much better. four stars

Great original storyline!

Loved this book, largely because Beverley Crick is such a marvelous narrator. She excels in creating male voices, as well as female ones. This love story is also a sweet one, about a duke who had a difficult childhood and a woman -- poor cousin to his half-brother-- who also has survived her own troubled past..

Family Reunion of Sorts

There are dukes a-plenty in this first of the series. Add suspicious deaths and it would seem hard to find time for love. The author, however, weaves it seamlessly into the story. This is my first book by Ms. Jeffries and it won’t be my last.
The narrator did a good job and all the male voices were different enough to be distinguishable from each other. Kudos to her for that.

Who's that Duke

Duke's, father's, step father's, brothers, cousin's, sisters, friends and a mother....This was more of who's who's and not a who done it. Still it was mildly entertaining.

Well done.

Good mix of romance and intrigue. The narrator did a great job of voicing each character.
