About this listen
Governess Abigail Chantry will do anything to save her sister and two dearest friends from destitution, even if it means breaking into an empty mansion in the hope of finding something to sell. Instead of treasures, though, she finds the owner, Lady Beatrice Davenham, bedridden and neglected. Appalled, Abby rousts Lady Beatrice's predatory servants and-with Lady Beatrice's eager cooperation-the four young ladies become her "nieces," neatly eliminating the threat of disaster for all concerned!
It's the perfect situation, until Lady Beatrice's dashing and arrogant nephew, Max, Lord Davenham, returns from the Orient-and discovers an impostor running his household.... A romantic entanglement was never the plan for these stubborn, passionate opponents-but falling in love may be as inevitable as the falling of autumn leaves....

“You have not laid eyes on me in five years. Do not call me your wife.” The gossip columns claim that the Duchess of Kensington is pregnant. Which is outrageous, considering that she has not seen her husband in five years. Having already seen his first wife to the grave, Dominic does not wish to repeat the past. So, he must keep his distance from his new Duchess. Yet… despite his indifference, Dominic is enraged to hear the rumors. And he returns to London to demand her submission. Only to find her in utter disobedience… And even more irresistible than he remembered.

He is the last duke standing...the sole remaining bachelor of the three self-proclaimed Decadent Dukes. Yet, Davina MacCallum's reasons for searching out the handsome Duke of Brentworth have nothing to do with marriage. Scottish lands were unfairly confiscated from her family by the Crown and given to his. A reasonable man with vast holdings can surely part with one trivial estate, especially when Davina intends to put it to good use. Brentworth, however, is as difficult to persuade as he is to resist.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Autumn Bride to be better than the print version?
If I could bookmark all the fun passages in the audio edition as I do in the book/eprint version so I can go back and listen again, then yes. Since I can't, No. But I enjoyed the audio.Who was your favorite character and why?
Aunt Bea is a hoot! She's quite funny, but also loving and loyal.What does Alison Larkin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Alison Larkin was a great pick for this narration. I read the ebook first, then bought the audiobook. I could hear each character's voice in my head as I read. Ms. Larkin's Bea, Freddie and Daisy were different, but better.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The conversation between Abby and Aunt Bea when Abby found Bea in her lonely room, uncared for moved me to tears. I got just as angry with Max as Abby did. I know Max was at sea working to keep Bea living in comfort, but not having someone check to make sure everything continued along the same path when Bea man of affairs passed away leaving her care to his son was irresponsible. The apple does not always fall close to the tree. He should have known better.Any additional comments?
This is a beautifully written story with wonderful dialogue. A little sad at the beginning, but it becomes humorous very soon after. I am waiting for the next story which is The Winter Bride (Damaris & Freddy's) love story. What's weird is I would not have pick these two characters to fall in love, but, I'm now intrigued.I can't wait for the second book in the series!

Excellent

Writing was good. Abby and Max were great together. The story kept me interested and I stayed up too late reading (listening.) The narration was well done.
I'm looking forward to subsequent adventures of the Chance Sisters.
