About this listen

A battle-scarred duke. A substitute bride. A dangerous secret that brings them together.

The Honorable Roberta Talbot is tired of being the practical one in her family. As the impoverished daughter of a reckless baron, she has spent years supporting her mother and siblings. When a chance meeting brings an opportunity for adventure her way, Birdie grabs hold and takes it… all the way to a haunted castle in Scotland and into the domain of its beastly lord.

A tormented past…

Captain Gabriel Eversleigh never expected to become the Duke of Dunross. Racked by survivor’s guilt after the Battle of Waterloo, Gabriel wishes for nothing more than to be left alone in his tower. Bound by honour to fulfil his promise to wed a girl he has never met, Gabriel plans to be a husband in name only.

But the bold young woman who arrives as his bride is irksomely determined to upend both his life and his castle. Worst of all, she pulls on the strings of a heart he thought was long since dead.

A committed wife…

Determined to turn her sham marriage into the real thing, Birdie not only confronts the ghosts of Gabriel’s past but stirs up a dangerous secret hidden deep within the castle walls.

When Gabriel discovers he’s married the wrong bride, will their love be able to flourish, or will his softening heart harden once more?

Cute in Places

This book has some cute spots that made me chuckle. There were also some places that legitimately made me cringe. Birdie’s reaction to Gabriel the 2nd time she sees him is so horrifying and unkind that I almost stopped reading the book altogether. And again, later on, something she says to him about looking beastly (this is no spoiler based on the title of the book)…..who would say something like that to a person they care about?! It’s kind of juvenile. This is not a book — or series, for that matter — with deep, mature characters but it is cute and they’re pretty quick reads. The narrator does a great job, especially if you increase the speed a bit. I put it on 1.15 and was very pleased with her performance.
