The Irish Duchess

By: Patricia Rice

Narrated by: Roger Clark

Duke meets shrew. Taming doesn't happen.

Neville Perceval, the bankrupt Duke of Anglesey, has been burdened since youth with more responsibility than one man should handle. He has finally accepted that he needs to marry a wealthy, gracious lady who will ease his burdens and smooth his political path.

Fiona MacDermot, the rebellious, untamed cousin of an Irish earl, has the freedom and independence Neville has never known. Like the duke, she needs cash to help starving villagers and orphans. Unfortunately, she'd rather earn a living than have anything to do with useless men, and the politicians she knows all belong at the wrong end of a rope.

But when the duke is nearly beaten to death, and Fiona's looms are lost to a murdering thief, their lives are entangled in ways that threaten their futures. Lust shouldn't factor into their destinies, but it does, and now they have to find their dreams together, or die trying.

Fun and Sassy

The characters are well written, the story is a roller coaster, and the performance is smashing.

I Loved This Series!

I Loved the series. The Characters are rich and warm. This series was the first books of Patricia Rice. I looking forward to the next series.

Good story line

I liked this series and this book. It had an interesting plot as did all the others. I appreciated the humour speckled throughout this book too. What did annoy my a little bit was the constant boob grabbing by the hero! It's just so unrealistic. If my husband did that to me everytime he saw me I'd smack him!

Characters from last book

Plot develops with characters from previous book in this series. Female is a spitfire with humorous interactions with Male, but plot was not as intriguing as previous books. Still a good read, just rated a bit lower when compared to first two books.

too many winds & turns..but loved their love story

Didn't like the start ...the Duke going to get Fiona in lreland...that was too obvious! it was as if Michael & Blash we're trying to set them up.
But loved how the love grew between them and their interactions were cute! fell in love with the Duke character not sure why...need to listen to it again!

narrator was good with all those characters involved!!!
