Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel's excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she's lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety. She definitely shouldn't be in the arms of a man capable of utterly destroying what little remains of her reputation.

Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is known as the Forbidden Duke, a mysterious, intimidating figure who enters society just once each year at his stepmother's ball. A decade ago, he was a devil-may-care rake until his idle roguery brought about the ruin of Eleanor Lockhart - and his resulting self-imposed isolation. Now she's back, and she needs his help. But by saving her, he may just ruin her life all over again.

The Forbidden Duke by Darcy Burke (Audiobook)
Narrated by: Marian Hussey
Series: The Untouchables, Book 1

3 Stars - This was my first historical by Darcy Burke. I found the writing good, and I enjoyed the setting of a girl having a season. I haven’t read one of these in a while and it was nice to be back in the ballroom, so to speak. Titus and Eleanor had good chemistry together, and were overall well rounded characters.

This was also my first time listening to Marian Hussey. I felt she did a great job narrating. I would happily listen to her again.

This story was okay. I've read better HR. I like that there was no insta lust.
The characters we well matched.

No mystery, suspense or surprises, just a typical romance story.

As for the narration it was fantastic. I am a big Marian Hussey fan. She does a great job on the men's voices and reads with emotion.

Okay story, Great narration.

If you could sum up The Forbidden Duke in three words, what would they be?

Totally Awesome Read!

The Heart of a Duke Series by Christi Caldwell. Both keeps you wanting to know what happens next and what happens to the other characters in their stories.

Have you listened to any of Marian Hussey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Don't remember - but will look for others she has narrated.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me smile a lot and want to know what happened next.

Any additional comments?

Totally an awesome read - Marian Hussey tells this story so well! Miss Eleanor deserved Her Forbidden Duke - Titus is perfect for her.
