About this listen

A lesson in seduction....

Miranda Hodgkins has only ever wanted one thing: to marry Robert Carlisle. And she simply can't wait a moment longer. During the Carlisle family masquerade ball, Miranda boldly sneaks into his bedchamber with seduction on her mind. Soon she's swept into rock-hard arms for the most breathtaking kiss of her life. But when the masks come off, she's horrified to find herself face-to-face with Sebastian, the Duke of Trent - Robert's formidable older brother.

Shocked to find Miranda in his bed, Sebastian quickly offers her a deal to avoid scandal: He'll help her win his brother's heart if she'll find him the perfect wife. But what begins as a simple negotiation soon spirals out of control. For the longer this reformed rake tries to make a match for Miranda, the more he wants to keep her all to himself.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Justine Eyre is the perfect fit for this Regency romance.... Her voice is textured and full of emotion, and her British accent draws the listener into the story.... Eyre varies her narration as the story moves from passionate romance to humor and scheming. She gives each character a unique voice - from the determined-sounding Miranda to the deeper, more forceful tone of Sebastian. Listeners will eagerly await the next installment in this new trilogy."

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

NO

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The Least interesting was all the reason why Miranda was not good enough to become Sebastian Duchess

Which scene was your favorite?

I didn't have a favorite scene

What would have made this romance irresistible?

If there were just Miranda and Sebastian as a couple instead of Miranda, Sebastian and Robert 3 people in a relationship is a disaster

Any additional comments?

I would have loved to been able to give If The Duke Demands 5 stars but there is just to much repetitive angst going on in the story. Miranda Hodgskin is a orphan raised by her aunt and uncle, tenant farmers of the Duke of Trent. Miranda has always played with the Carlisle brothers and as she grows into a young lady she believes herself in love with second son Robert. She plots to trap Robert into marriage but all goes south. She finds herself in the wrong bedroom on the wrong bed.

Sebastian is a newly minted Duke who suffers from guilt of not being there when his father dies. He was with an actress. Now he finds himself having feelings for Miranda but she is not Duchess material and he says this over and over and over. Miranda is beneath him but he is sexually drawn to her and she eventually becomes sexually drawn to him. Only when she realizes she will never have his brother. Robert is in love with another women and is going to offer marriage to her.

This dance between Sebastian, Miranda and Robert continues all the way to the end of the book. When a Light in Sebastian mine comes on by way of his mother. The ending is rushed and not well thought out.

ANGST!!

What did you love best about If the Duke Demands?

Wit & some plot twists

What about Justine Eyre’s performance did you like?

different voices that well distinguish the characters, and help to provide the historical & geographical context. Eyre is one of my favorite audio performers, along with Mary Jane Wells & Rosalind Landor.

Any additional comments?

I look for books by narrators I enjoy, and that's how I found this book.

Pleasant escape with a great narrator

Adorable heroine, thoughtful, sensitive and responsible Duke, a great storyline, wonderful narration and great characters sums this book. I LOVED it. So much so that I finished it in less than 24 hours while I filled all my free time as well as all the busy ones with these characters. Couldn't wait to find out what happens next and could not bear to have it be finished. You will NOT go wrong with this book

What can I say except WOW!

Great start to capture your interest. Story moves quickly. Good ending for a romance novel.

Holds your interest

This was a sweet love story. The down to earth family and Miranda had a quirky side but not over the top. The only nemesis was the one in their heads. Which is okay, but sometimes it’s more interesting to have a bad guy/gal. It could have also had more content if they explored Miranda adjusting to life afterwards.

Sweet and sensual love story
