About this listen

A FISHERMAN'S DAUGHTER

Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her family's fishing business afloat. Her poor widowed father has fallen ill, and her foolhardy brother has moved to London, leaving her precious little time to read or pursue her own dreams. But she'll do anything for her family, so she cheerfully spends mornings in her rowboat, casting her nets. The very last thing Poppy expects or wants to find tangled in them is a dangerously attractive man. Especially one with a head wound—who's convinced he's a duke.

AND A DUKE OUT OF WATER

Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but he's having the devil of a time convincing his wary, fiery-haired rescuer of that fact. The truth is he came to the seaside resort of Bellehaven Bay to escape his life in London. Unfortunately, someone in Bellehaven wants to kill him—and he intends to find out who. He implores Poppy to tend to his injuries and hide him on her beach, reasoning it will be easier to find his attacker if that man assumes Keane is already dead. She wants no part of the scheme but can't refuse the generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he recovers. It's a mutually beneficial business arrangement...nothing more.

ARE ABOUT TO MAKE WAVES

Under Poppy's care, Keane regains his strength—and a sense of purpose. As they work together to solve the puzzle of his would-be murderer, he's dazzled by her rapier wit and adventurous spirit; she's intrigued by his mysterious air and protective streak. Though Poppy's past gives her every reason to mistrust someone like Keane, the seawalls around her heart crumble in the storm of their passion. But when clues hint at the prime suspect in Keane's attempted murder, Poppy must decide where her loyalties lie. Torn between the world she's always known and the one she's always dreamed of, she'll need true love for a shot at her fairytale ending.

Poppy and Keane

When Poppy Summers went fishing that morning, she never expected to catch a duke in her net. She did just that and he didn’t get there voluntarily. Keane, Duke of Hawking and Poppy set out to find who attacked him and who means him harm. This is a well-written, heartwarming romance with a strong confident heroine and an affable, determined hero. There is a bit of danger (he was tossed in the ocean), a mystery, lots of humor, a steamy romance, and a happy ending. In the audio version, Beverley A. Crick does a very entertaining narration.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.

Class Difference

One Duke Down is a decent class difference historical romance. Poppy saved Keane, Duke of Hawking, from death when she accidentally fished him out of the ocean. She hid him and helped him figure out who wanted him dead. As they sleuthed out the villain, Poppy and Keane fell in love. The romance was done well, the plot was interesting. I enjoyed the novel.

Delightful!

This novel was a pure delight! Not only does this cover perfectly reflect the joy you will find between it's pages, it is so beautiful and such a lovely reflection of the novel. Anna Bennett charms me with this novel! I loved the first novel in this series, and I think this is a wonderful edition to the collection and I am waiting with batted breathe to see what Bennett gives us next. This is the second novel in Bennett's Rogues to Lovers series, and while it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend you read both books in this series because they are gloriously exemplary historical romances.
