Resumen del Editor

Devlin Markham, the notorious "Devil Duke" of Huntington, needs a woman. And not just any woman. If he can't woo one of the most eccentric bluestockings of the Ton within the month, he can kiss his hard-earned fortune good-bye. But he's always thought love a wasted emotion and marriage an inconvenience at best. And oddly enough, Lady Sophie Wolcott seems unmoved by his charm....

When Sophie learns her beloved orphanage is in imminent danger, she will do anything to save it. Even marry a ruthless rake who takes what he wants in business and pleasure - a man who's everything she's always feared most - but whom she reluctantly begins yearning for.

Then Sophie becomes the target of a killer lurking from the dark shadows of Devlin's past. And they find not only their lives in jeopardy but their very hearts.

Contains mature themes.

The devilish duke

I never tired of this book. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Fun characters, strong female lead.

I liked it

Nice story line and the narration was pleasant, story line was good. too bad no sequel?

💜 I absolutely loved it!!

Well what a pleasant surprise this was!! First book by this author for me, and I hoped/trusted that it would be good because Justine Eyre is a good narrator. Usually when I read a new (to me) author I don’t have high expectations because there are so many, and there are often a lot of misses before we get a hit. Well, this was a hit. I rreeaalllyyy like when the main characters are not in relationship turmoil the entire dang book. I’d much rather they be drawn together and there be a bad guy, than to have the them challenged over and over and over again until we finally have a connection and a HEA. This book gave me what I wanted. Also, we often can see the storyline as we go along. We can see who’s going to do what and have figured out most of whats coming, but I ttoottaalllyyy did NOT with this book! It was kind of a bummer in a way because I had really decided the bad guy was a certain character. There are so many possibilities and I did have everyone guilty at some point but the “bad guy” was definitely a surprise! The secondary characters were super engaging and I am really disappointed that the series isn’t one of continuation from this first. But, thats ok. Justine Eyre did a fantastic job of keeping track of quite a significant amount of character voices and she did a phenomenal job at it!
Totally worth my 2 for 1 sale credit! Looking forward to more by this author and definitely moving forward in this series!

Just became a favorite

I enjoyed this book tremendously. Very glad that the heroine isn't a weak, confused, flaky girl that keeps making the stupidest choices. The banter between the main characters kept a smile on my face and I also enjoyed the dialogues with all of the characters. You have to love the adorable aunt Mabel an the smart little Nicholas. All that with my favorite female narrator. I intend to keep it in my library to listen again and again.

could not put it down

I just loved this story. As always Justine Eyre does an amazing job with narration.

Great

Love to listen while I do other things
Without having to sit and read the book

Judy

1 st book by this author, loved it,kept me guessing!
The Duke was very bossy and protective, and she gave it right back!!!

So refreshing

The only complaints is the narrator can only do 1 male tone. Otherwise the book is fantastic. The main character stays strong without turning weak and ridiculous. The story line kept my interest all the way to the end.

Love it

Love the story and the narrator. I enjoyed listening to it while Im driving. Looking for more stories like this

EXCELLENT

Really well done first book. Now going on to book two. One of the things I liked best was the fact that Sophie NEVER doubted him. So refreshing to have them both actually believe in each other as they fall in love. But Sophie's steadfastness was a very nice turn. Highly recommend. Justine Eyre was great.
