About this listen

Wyatt Stanton served as a spy for Wellington until he receives word of his brother's death. Reluctantly, he returns to England as the Duke of Amesbury and to Amberwood, a place he once loved and was banished from after his brother falsely accused Wyatt of burning down the family stables with over two dozen horses inside. His soul seared by war, the man who lived for danger must now become a member of Polite Society and find himself a duchess so he has an heir.

Meadow Grant's father sold her to Lord Selfridge so he could pay his gambling debts. Selfridge collects beautiful things, and Meadow is the most beautiful girl of the Season. Once he possessed her, Selfridge lost interest and moved on to other things. Now a widow, the resilient Meadow is ready to make her own choice this time and find a husband who yearns for children as much as she does. Though attracted to the Duke of Amesbury, he is far too arrogant and conceited for her tastes, even if he does kiss well.

Wyatt is bored with all the younger women on the Marriage Mart, but he believes the beautiful and more mature Lady Selfridge fits his idea of a suitable duchess. Meadow wants to be courted, though, and Wyatt is up to the challenge. Though neither looks for love, will the reckless Wyatt and spitfire Meadow realize love has found them and will flourish, given the chance?

Rewrite of Book One

Pretty much the same as book one with different characters and enemies. It didn’t exhibit much imagination with a few exceptions. It was a disappointment for me because I enjoyed the first book so much. This one seemed to me like a template that the author used to plug in new characters and crises. I don’t think I’ll continue the series.
Matthew Lloyd Davies did another nice Audible narration.

Not the best...not the worst

In this book #2, the scenario is the same as in book one...just different characters. Characters were fairly interesting, but the plot was very predictable. This probably won't be a repeat listen for me.
