The Duke

Victorian Rebels Series, Book 4

By: Kerrigan Byrne

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Strong as a Viking. Handsome as Adonis. Rich as Midas. Collin "Cole" Talmage, Duke of Trewyth, is the stuff that legends are made of. He's the English Empire's golden son - until fate has its way with him. Cole's family is killed and his closest comrade betrays him on the battlefield, leaving him gravely injured. But Cole is not one to dwell on misfortune. He is a man of duty, honor, and desire. And now he's ready for the fight of his lifetime....

Imogen Pritchard is a beautiful lass who works in a hospital by day and as a serving maid at night. Years ago, when she was young and penniless, she ended up spending a scandalous night with Cole, whose tormented soul was matched only by his earth-shattering passion. Imogen entered a marriage of convenience - one that left her a wealthy widow - but she never forgot Cole. Now that her long-lost lover has turned up in her hospital, injured and with no memory of her, Imogen is torn. Is it a blessing or a curse that their past remains a secret to Cole, even as his new passion for her leaves him wanting to protect and possess her at all costs? Contains mature themes.

The best of the series

Best audiobook of the series,brings every emotion of a romance that is possible. Also feels like they make two steps forward only to retreat because of the males egotistical temperament. But they finally have a wonderful happy ending.

great series.

This one was a little on the mean side more than the others. I don't think I would have put up with this Duke!

Awesome!!!

I love KB’s stories of her brutal men who’ve been brought to their knees with love. Cole and Imogen were a great couple. Especially Imogen. She was a nurse then a worker in a whore house then a countess. Cole was a prisoner of war who was rescued by The Highlander (book 3.) It was about a serial killer who killed those who looked like Imogen. You can guess who the led up to.

There was explicit sex, which I skipped past since I was more interested in the story than the sex. And the F-bomb was used 21 times.

As to the narration: Derek Perkins is not all that good when it comes to a woman’s voice but he is terrific with the men having their own distinct voice.

Highly Recommended Series

So far this has been a fantastic series. Great books and wonderful narrations. I can't get enough.

Oh How I LOVE The Way This Author Writes!!!!!

Derek Perkins is brilliant! They way he transports one into the story is spectacular. Combine that with a great story and you have fireworks. Couldn’t put this down. The first book of Ms. Byrne that I listened to (also narrated by Derek Perkins….The Highwayman….) so entranced and touched me that I listened to it five times. This book as well, will be well loved forever. Now to find more books by Ms. Byrne, narrated by Derek Perkins!!!!!!!

One Great Series...Book 4

Narrator: Derek Perkins does a good job...again.
Liked this one also. Really like Cole in the beginning not so much after he came back.
Imogen & Cole both go through a lot. The emotions felt real. Pretty captivating.
Like when characters from previous books all come to give a hand.
One thing with all 4 books is that the endings do feel kind of rushed.

Finding his heart

But when she sees who it is she is shy but he is gentle. Cole the Duke of Talmage pays 20 guineas for Genie(Imogen) not realizing she was a serving maid and not a whore.
