For too long Miss Emily Parr has been subject to the whims of her indebted uncle and the lecherous advances of his repulsive business partner. Her plan to be done with dominating men forever is simple: find herself a kind husband who will leave her to her books. It seems an easy enough plan, until she is unexpectedly abducted by an incorrigible duke who hides a wounded spirit behind flashing green eyes. Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, spends countless nights at the club with his four best friends and relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with.

He has no plans to marry anytime soon - if ever. But when he kidnaps an embezzler's niece, the difficult debutante's blend of sweetness and sharp tongue makes him desperate for the one thing he swears he never wanted: love. Yet as they surrender to passion, danger lurks in Godric's shadowed past, waiting for him to drop his guard - and to rob him of the woman he can't live without.

Saw reviews where people are going off about misogynistic behavior. Maybe you shouldn’t read romance novels. She however set out to win his heart in hopes of an offer.. gets it then when he is offering badly but says he loves her she is like big nope and nope to friends I’d rather find a stranger? Is she a freggin idiot? So much better to hope some mysterious guy will just step in and your uncle of course won’t give you to an a hole. Oh and of course so she can keep control of her fortune.. That she has no access too. Because the stranger husband would get that control. Like a say no logic to that . She could negotiate her freggin freedom with one of those guys. Stupid is as stupid does

Don’t get her

I loved the writing. Funny story. A bit of a reverse harem but overall a fun listen

Awesome narrator

I guess I’m not understanding Audible. The stories to pick from are nothing I want to read. This one included. I’ve picked some Classics like Hardy, Austin, Alcott and Outlander but I’m finding it hard to find something that doesn’t set my nerves on edge listening to it. Complete nonsense.

Nope....

What an amazing book. This author is new to me and a keeper.
I love this book very much. The characters are funny and strong. This particular read is a little different for me of all the other books I have read. This one the heroine is so strong and doesn't give up on what she wants in her life from the beginning where she wanted freedom until she fight for the man she loved. This is a must read I am on Book 2 and I can't wait. Happy reading

Awesome !!!
