New York Times best-selling author Cathy Maxwell's glittering Marrying the Duke series continues.

Twice he has been close to the altar and still no duchess. Will the third time be the charm?

A duke can't marry just anyone. His wife must be of good family, be fertile, and be young. Struggling playwright Sarah Pettijohn is absolutely the last woman Gavin Whitridge, Duke of Baynton, would ever fall in love with. She is an actress, born on the wrong side of the blanket, and always challenges his ducal authority. She never hesitates to tell him what she thinks.

However, there is something about her that stirs his blood, which makes her perfect for a bargain he has in mind: In exchange for backing her play, he wants Sarah to teach him about love.

And he, in turn, has a few things to teach her about men.

You can't go wrong with Mary Jane Wells reading! The ending seemed to have hurriedly progressed at least the chapters, into the final chapter, which I hated. Why can't me know more about their future together? Their wedding? Anything!

A bit of a rushed ending, but I liked it.

I typically do not write reviews, but this one is worth it. I loved the story, the narrator, and the characters. Once you pick it up, you'll have to force yourself to put it down to do things, like sleep. I think I found a new favorite author. (I already enjoy Mary Jane Wells.)

Loved it!!!

I haven't read/listened to a Cathy Maxwell book for some time now. I always loved her novels. Well, this book is another hit. As usual, the author brings all emotions into her story. Gavin and Sarah are both strong characters. They know what is expected of them; however, love prevails - as it should. This story is quite entertaining in itself and I was surprised by the ending. I loved it. Ms. Maxwell, please continue to give us wonderful stories.

Another Wonderful Cathy Maxwell Book

After just finishing the third listen, I know I'll be listening again in the future. The first listen was a follow-up Charlene's story. I kept the book in the library. The second listen, a year later was to remind myself why I kept the book and decided it's because there are so many appealing aspects beyond the romance. I appreciate the dialogue, the relationships with secondary characters - the charming ones, the evil one and the in-between maternal one - and the narrator's appeal. The third time, I'm reminded how much I like Mary Jane Wells's contribution to character development. While another narrator could bring the characters to life with different levels of playfulness and it would be entirely appropriate to the prose, right now, I'm enjoying the more playful character interpretations and Mary Jane Wells excels at this. I'm starting a Collection called Titles Narrated by Mary Jane Wells and find I have TEN already!

A Very Enjoyable Tumble Into Love

This was by far my favorite romance novel. The storyline was unique and imaginative with characters that you wanted to cheer for I had to stop everything I was doing and listen straight through what a great find. the narrator was outstanding thank you for doing such an excellent work.

Excellent excellent excellent this is got to be
