About this listen

When an ambitious entrepreneur pretends to be a lady of means, she catches the eye - and heart - of a duke....

Jessica McGale’s family business desperately needs investors, and she’s determined to succeed at any cost. But she knows London’s elite will never look twice at a humble farm girl like herself. Posing as “Lady Whitfield”, however, places her in the orbit of wealthy, powerful people - most notably the duke of Rotherby. His influence and support could save her company, but Jess never expected the effect he’d have on her.

Society thinks Noel is a notorious, carefree duke who dabbles in investments, but there’s a side to him that only his closest friends see. When he crosses paths with Lady Whitfield at a business bazaar, his world tilts on its axis. She’s brilliant and compelling and brings him to his knees like no woman has before. Trust is difficult for Noel, but Jess makes him believe anything is possible....

As time ticks down on her Cinderella scheme, the thought of achieving her goal at Noel’s expense breaks Jess’ heart. He doesn’t just want her now, he wants her forever. But will her secret end their future before it begins?

Finally oral sex!

I really liked this book. It was different from most regency romances in that that the heroine (Jess) was not a naive virgin, and hero (Noel) was not a damaged brooder. They were both well-adjusted and honest about their feelings for each other.

I also really enjoyed the sex scenes. I was so happy that there was actually oral sex, which I think is missing from most historical romances. There was some slight domination that was appropriate and sexy.

I realize the story is really realistic, but I don't read/listen to these for reality. I recommend!

Tears are the mark of a good story

I enjoyed this so much. I love the subversion of dynamics so much. And I adore this reader she’s just one of my favorites. And you know a story is good when I am brought to tears at the emotional climax. 10/10

Good but the Scottish accent is silly

I liked the first one better but I will listen to the next one unless it's the same lady to read it. The Scots accent was painful! otherwise she did a fine job.

Did not finish.

Gave up about chapter 15. I don’t care about these people and was looking forward to listening to something else. So I quit and went on to something else.

too much dominatrix & oral sex

I would rate this overall as 2 not 4, I am all for strong women, but this was a bit too much. Also the narrator was very off-putting. The heroine was half ninny & half strong, so was very inconsistent. The duke was likeable, but I did not believe the whole plot. If this is indicative of this author, I have decided not to read any more of her books.
