With her whirlwind social life in London, Lady Isabella Wharton has little interest in the customs of the country. But when her godmother asks her to pay a visit to her bachelor grandson in Yorkshire, Isabella can't refuse. It behooves her to please the old dowager, since she harbors one of Isabella's most scandalous secrets. So off she goes to see the newly-titled - and notoriously rustic - Duke of Ormond.
Trevor Carey doesn't care about what goes on behind ballroom doors. He is content with the simple life - and isn't ashamed to admit it to a society flirt like Lady Isabella. But the country air brings out a different side of Isabella - one full of longing and passion. Can her sophistication be hiding a desire for love? When a blackmailer from the city arrives to threaten Isabella, Trevor will shield her from harm - even travel to London. Can the duke tackle the ton on Isabella's behalf...and manage to keep her all to himself?

There is nice chemistry between the main characters Trevor and Isabella. The love scenes are sweet and not too graphic. Isabella is a women with scars from her first marriage and Trevor is a wonderful tender sensual Hero.
This story takes place in the country so it doesn't focus on Balls or proper etiquette.....it focuses more on the mystery and romance which is quite refreshing. .
Since I enjoyed this one, I will be listening to the remainder of the series.

I never thought I'd say this but it was a nice change to get away from the Rakes (though I do so love 'em) and the sweet virgin type books as this listen was an enjoyable and refreshing substitution. It had a rich likeable cast of characters that were mainly based in the country rather than ballrooms and a plot that not only had romance but also intrigue running through it as you try to figure out just who the villains are. Isabella, a widow living happily in London with pre-conceived distasteful ideas of the 'country' Duke...... that is until she is forced to the country on a mission and stays with the handsome, charming, likeable Duke then slowly she realises that she's the one that's got it all wrong.
There's murder (opening scene), blackmail, danger, secrets, threats, mystery, sabotage, fun, good secondary characters, sub plots, twists, and, of course, a sweet tender romance that develops as the H/H spend time with each other, learn from one-another and decide to compromise .....then their passion ignites. Trevor's life and kind ways, especially with his sisters and tenants, slowly draws her in but Isabella unfortunately becomes a damsel in distress and is in need of rescuing so Trevor is only too happy to be her knight in shining armour (and who doesn't want one of those).
This book partly concludes but there are still unanswered follow-on questions and an obvious 'simmering in the background' secondary romance that, no doubt, will be the main focus in book 2 mmmm can't wait.
Worth a credit? If you're like me and love a good, well written and well narrated historical romance that you can get lost in then this has to be in your Library - so that's a YES.
ENTERTAINING REFRESHING REGENCY ROMANCE WITH DRAMA

The story skims over an important part of how the main character gets out of the desperate events of the opening of the book.
I think if you knew some of that detail, it would make some of the later part of the book easier to understand why the main character drags her feet on things or is so very hesitant.
I am sorry to say I did not enjoy the narrator in this book. I think she would work fine in other books. I just didn’t care for her in this book. And that did take away from my listening to the book quite a bit. I did finish the book, but it wasn’t my favorite. And there were two other characters discussed in the book and there may be books about them, but I’m not gonna bother to dig for them so for me that says something too.
I liked it, but not a second read/listen.

The story is basically good with interesting plotlines and I like the characters, but I won't listen again, and I'm very glad I picked this up on sale. It is not worth a credit to me.
Good story, needs serious editing

My only complaint is that some information gets repeated a few times when totally unnecessary and almost the same phrasing. It got annoying after a while. Hence only 4 stars. That said I’m goi g to see if the library has the rest of the series , and if not, I might just use a credit.
Be warned there is a thread of the mystery that is unsolved, but the story wraps up this couple’s narrative nicely.
Suspense!
