Publisher's summary

Over five seasons, Miss Harmony Barrett has managed to repel every gentleman of consequence and engineer a debacle at Almack's so horrifying that her waltzing privileges are revoked. If she's not in the library reading about Mongol hordes, she's embarrassing her family or getting involved in impulsive scrapes.

Enter the Duke of Courtland, a man known for his love of duty and decorum. Through a vexing series of events, he finds himself shackled to Miss Barrett in matrimony. But all is not lost. The duke harbors a not-so-secret affinity for spanking and discipline…and his new wife is ever in need of it.

Will the mismatched couple find their way to marital happiness? Or will the duke be forever Disciplining the Duchess?

Best so far!

Finally, I could relate to the characters. Very believable except for the dog dinner scene! I love the redemption aspect.

Good for mood reading

The description of this book, matches the book perfectly. The story is good but a little rushed, but you don’t pick this book for a great story line. ;)

Good listen

The narrator didn’t bother me as much as she seems to have bothered other listeners. I liked it. The book was good but the h forgave the H a little too easily in the end for my liking. I didn’t get enough groveling.

Book was wonderful. Reader was just that with out any artistry.

The readers sing song recital of the words was annoying. Loved the book and the characters.

Too easily forgiven for abuse

It starts really good with maybe a little noncon discipline, but reasonable. Unfortunately, it devolves in to straight up abuse. The author is good about making it clear that it’s abuse, but in the end she’s a little too easy to forgive and willing to be punished by someone who fully abused her….it feels a bit icky in the end.

not what was described

I did not like the narration, the woman sounded as though she sould read poems instead of dirty romance books. it was described as a brat meets disciplining husband book when it's not how it was read. It read as a sweet 16 romance with a couple of dirty scenes.

Perfect theatrical reading!

I was looking for and expecting a more explicit tale. However, the quality of the narrative performance, the nuance and laugh out loud humor throughout this book seduced me.

CONTEST: how many times door closes in background?

What did you love best about Disciplining the Duchess?

I loved almost everything about this book, except the distracting background noises on the audio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Disciplining the Duchess?

Most memorable to me was the scene where Court disciplines Harmony too severely and it almost destroys their relationship.

What aspect of Emma Kent’s performance would you have changed?

Distracting background noises were very annoying and in some cases she speaks so very slowly it is also annoying. However that is better than narrators who talk too fast. I do love Emma Kent's English accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, I did do that!!!

Any additional comments?

Annabel Joseph also wrote "CLUB MEPHISTO", "MOLLY's LIPS" and BURN FOR YOU which are incredibly revealing about the BDSM lifestyle. The first two are on audible.com and I am awaiting BURN FOR YOU on audible.

Excellent Writing, Poor Behavior

Let me start by saying that this was a highly enjoyable book for the longest time. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is my absolute favorite genre. Domestic discipline when done right adds to the story in a positive light. This was not done right. There is a big difference between domestic discipline and domestic violence. He beat her with a stick, twice. Then was all shocked when she became withdrawn. There is nothing romantic about that. It’s hard to enjoy a “romance novel” in its entirety when it includes such clear abuse. The narrator was phenomenal though!

Touching story about two opposite people finding love

I read this several years ago on my Kindle and remembered how much I enjoyed the story. at times the narrator spoke a little too slowly for me, but by the end I got used to it.
This is a story of opposites in personality and behavior, but finding that each of them can come to the middle and be the best people they can be together. I love historical fiction romances with a little spanking. Without spoiling the story, there is a part in this that caused me to cry because it was a little too much of punishment if Harmony, however, I understood the necessity of it as it played into the storyline.
