About this listen

Her Aunt Allegra said, "A young lady with a fortune is subject to all sorts of untoward attentions by the worst sort of vagrants."

It is a lesson Tabitha Timmons, a penniless spinster, has never needed to heed. That is, until she is left a vast fortune payable only upon her marriage to the very respectable Mr. Barkworth - a match that offers little chance of discovering exactly what her aunt means by "untoward attentions."

But the same can't be said when the Duke of Preston happens along Tabitha's path. He spies a rebellious streak in her that matches his own, and he makes it his mission to save her from such a passionless match, interfering in her life at every turn. All too soon, Preston - whose very name spells ruin - has Tabitha caught between the good fortune that guarantees her security, and his kiss, which promises an entirely different kind of happily-ever-after.

Not every Audible title is worth listening to more than once I have more than a few I'm sorry I bought. This book is a dreamy romance. Susan Duerdan's narration made it so much better.

Wonderful story but was dragged out in several places. Such a good plot that I’d rather it was added to and not cut short!

Only one problem....

Love the banter between Tabby and Preston, LOL fun, hope the rest the series is as much fun to listen to.

Great fun!

I love this story. My only disappoint was that the extremely mean people in the story never received their comeuppance. But, the story was very good and I lived the characters. While some of the back story is sad, I loved the wit between the characters. I have one simple complaint. What is with all the whispering. I find whispering irritating in real life, and apparently books as well. A little is plenty.

Along Came a Duke and a good story.

I'm hooked on this author. I've read & listened to quite a few romance novels and have gotten good at knowing what to expect. Elizabeth Boyle adds life to her novels. She spices things up by using funny descriptions of the characters and events throughout the story. She adds just enough twists and turns to keep me guessing. Most of all, I love her humor. It's always nice to get a laugh or two out of a good book.

Elizabeth Boyle is fun to read!!

It’s not the worst, but definitely not the best I’ve heard. The characters were not very likable. There’s also a lot of whispering, which got really annoying.

Just okay

This was my first book for this author. The story was OK, though nothing original or new. The story is not new and predicted. I got bored at multiple points of this book that I had to fast forward. However, the narrator Susan D was splendid! She improved tremendously since her first audiobooks! Good for her , I enjoyed listening to her.

Not so thrilling really!

The narrator did an awesome job narrating both the female and male voices. She really brought the story to life. The story itself was exceptional. I got hooked in the first few minutes and was not able to put it down. Fast paced, funny, and romantic. Highly recommend this story.

So very entertaining

The narrator was dreadful, the story was not compelling and the characters were not developed to be interesting or likable. I’m pretty generous listening to books while doing mundane tasks, but this one was painful.

Skip this one

This was my first Elizabeth Boyle, and it was interesting how much it sounded like an Eloisa James novel. It didn't hurt that it was read by Susan Duerden!

Really sweet romance.

Very cute!
