About this listen

USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this delightful spin on Shakespeare's classic, The Taming of the Shrew.

This time, who’s taming whom…

Cassandra Pomfret holds strong opinions she isn’t shy about voicing. But her extremely plain speaking has caused an uproar, and her exasperated father, hoping a husband will rein her in, has ruled that her beloved sister can’t marry until Cassandra does.

Now, thanks to a certain wild-living nobleman, the last shreds of Cassandra’s reputation are about to disintegrate, taking her sister’s future and her family’s good name along with them.

The Duke of Ashmont’s looks make women swoon. His character flaws are beyond counting. He’s lost a perfectly good bride through his own carelessness. He nearly killed one of his two best friends. Still, troublemaker that he is, he knows that damaging a lady’s good name isn’t sporting.

The only way to right the wrong is to marry her…and hope she doesn’t smother him in his sleep on their wedding night.

While I enjoy this author, as sometimes happens, I couldn’t get through this book in ebook format. Weeks later, listening to the really superior narration, the story finally drew me in. I don’t like shrews, I don’t like endless insults to males, but there’s enough left in the characters to make it worth a listen. Did I say the narration was superb?
Folks need to keep in mind that if it weren’t for men, we wouldn’t be enjoying kindle and audible at all. We’d still be pitching tents and cooking over open fires. No thank you.

Excellent in Every Way

This is one of those books you need to give a little more time before passing judgment. In the beginnig, the characters appear too zany. Kate Reading, the awesome narrator that she is, did a great job interpreting and presenting their zaniness. Consequently, I debated on whether I could tolerate those quirky characters for 12 hours. But, I stuck with it and came to develop a real liking for the characters as they developed into very personable people with depth. Cassandra, the female lead character, has a very strong personality who speaks her mind. She also has strong beliefs in women's rights which were unusual for that time perod. The reluctant hero of the story appears a real loser with weak character. At first the reader would think the disparities in their characters are insurmountable. Not so, Lucien, our hero, has strengths that Cassandra shows him that he has. This was a delightful book and I'll listen to again and again.

Well-written, well-developed characters

What can I say…I love Loretta Chase and Kat Reading brings her characters to life! Strong, flawed women and their chosen men…please write book 3!

Funny, endearing, great characters, great performance…

At first I didn’t like Cassandra’s treatment of Lucious, but it became clear that she was protecting herself. Lucious was adorable in a way that showed he was willing to change from rouge to adoring lover. Together they faced the challenges of being too much alike and different.

Lovely

The long time Lucius and Cassandra have known each other has a real piquancy.
Her mother is awesome! So is her sister.

But the addition of Mary Wollstonecraft grabbed my heart.

Loretta Chase writes depths but the best humor in historical romance!!

Incredible! Lovely main characters
