Empowering

I so enjoyed the storyline. Wonderful to see a ‘broken’ woman strive and accomplish wholeness. Very well written! Thanks Christi

One of the Best Romances Ever

This may be my new favorite historical romance! Christi Caldwell pushes the boundaries and gives us two fabulous characters who are broken but stronger for their healing. Like the Japanese art of mending cracks with gold, these characters are even more beautiful and wonderful because of their imperfections. If you love strong characters who are outside society’s norm, you will want to read this series but especially this book. In the Dark with the Duke will be one of those books I reread whenever I need a little romance or courage!

Awesome

Part of the Lost Lords of London series by Christi Caldwell, this is a fantastic read, it brings together two tortured souls, haunted by their pasts. Lila our heroine, youngest sister to widowed Sylvia and Henry the Earl of Waterson, has hidden from the world since Peterloo, is determined to enter the living again. She feels in order to do this she needs to learn to defend herself and her family so she seeks out Hugh, our hero, renowned bare knuckle fighter for the Rookeries. Both have learned not to trust and hide who they really are from the world, suddenly find that they have a lot more in common that they thought possible. Passion flares between them and despite interference from all sides, love finds a way. This book is darker and grittier than Christi’s previous book, but it makes the character more real and believable. Although characters from previous book pop up this can be read as a stand alone, having said that once you read this you will definitely want to read more. This is how regency should be written, not the staid two dimensional characters authors normally write about. I highly recommend this book

Lovely

A lovely story of two people locked in their own fears that intersect and could end their unusual relationship. The lady finds herself needing instruction in self defense and seeks out a notorious street fighter. But things aren’t always as they seem and love blossoms despite their very different backgrounds.

Enjoyable Read

Excellent narration! very good story! really enjoyed this book. highly recommend books written by this author.

Great story, lovely romance

Christi and Tim did it again. Another great listen. I really liked the characters...they're strong, independent and flawed. Christi continues to wow me with her imaginative stories. This one, like the others in this series blends aristocrats with common born folks to show differences between the classes and similarities between people. Thanks again Christi and Tim.

Too repetitive

While the story was mostly intriguing, the main characters internal thoughts were so repetitive I almost stopped listening several times. And I didn't enjoy how the hero wouldn't stand up for himself but his transformation in the opposite direction was almost instantaneous. Too little was explained about the evil character. The ending came rather quickly and left me unsatisfied. Because of this it really needed an epilogue.

I think I'm in love with Tim Campbell's voice....

This was my second Christi Caldwell novel narrated by Tim Campbell. I have to admit as much as I love a cultured British accent, I adore how Tim Campbell is able to distinguish between all of the distinct accents from East London. On to Book 3 in the series.

Better than the first book

I enjoyed the first book. I adored this one! I wanted to hear Layla, pit his partners in their place again at the end. it was wonderful.

In The Dark With The Duke

This audiobook by Christy Caldwell was narrated by Tim Campbell. The story was excellent. The plot was good. The narrator did a excellent job.
