Publisher's Summary
I was born into British aristocracy, but I've made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom.
Back in Britain, my family is fighting over who's the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it's me - if I'm married. It's not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman.
Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I've never wanted - so I need a wife.
To take my mind off business I need a night that's all pleasure. I need to bury myself in a stranger.
The skim of Scarlett King's hair over my body as she bends over...
The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name...
The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge...
It all helps me forget.
I just didn't bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day.
She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me.
A sexy, stand-alone romance.
For Harper and Max's story, listen to King of Wall Street.
For Violet and Alexander's story, listen to The British Knight.
For Darcy and Logan's story, listen to The Earl of London.
For Grace and Sam's story, listen to Park Avenue Prince.

The trope continues
The good narration gave me hopes early on that there would be enough unique story elements that it wouldn’t be same-old-same-old… but alas, nope! Still the rich emotionally cold, massively successful man meets gorgeous woman who is the first woman ever to get him to open up…and they have phenomenal sex while he orders her around…but *shocker* then she pushes him away because *you’ll never guess* she is scared of feeling too much/getting hurt/what if he doesn’t really love her?
Yawn.
I’d love one of these to be a good romance that I could script myself.

Spicy and Awesome
If only we could all find a wonderful, sexy, single fella as easily as Scarlett did 😉 Their relationship started with fireworks and ended with a love inferno. The path is almost as important as the destination, it's a great third installment!

enjoyed immensely
I really liked this book. I liked the marriage of convenience trope, and liked that it took awhile for them to reconcile. I find, at least in the books I pick up, often the main guy screws up royally and then he goes "Oh, sorry by the way" in one discussion and that's it. This book has him apologize, then again, then reaffirm his love for her. It felt like he really took her feelings seriously and cared about her a lot.

A bit of fun
Witty

A great story, easy to listen to. narrators did a great job, but sounded older than in their thirties.
Also, the text has Shane saying words I wouldn't expect to hear from an Englishman on the regular so it was a little off-putting. Using different (English) references instead of North Americam ones would have helped.

Happily Suprised
So happy for Scarlette, She deserved to be happy they all do. Didnt want to have it end. I was hoping for more interaction with the other charaters in the series. Shane East is delightful, I could listen to him read to me all night, and Saskia is spot on.

Love Shane East - not the character so much
I am a bit new to romances on audio but I think I got spoiled with my first few which have the narration style of the main narrators reading all their lines in each chapter - I do not love the narrators reading as the other character, especially the bedroom scenes. Aside from that, while I could listen to Shane East talk in my ear all day, Ryder sounds like a jerk and I didn’t really like the chapters described from his perspective. I do like the Scarlett character, though I wish she’d be a bit stronger during their interactions.
It’s worth trying out but wasn’t my favourite.

This one I am happy listening to 🙂
Love this story. I cannot believe that I listened, the first day for 6hrs, and fined it off the next day. It was a little long. But, God know how much I ❤️Shane East

Dirty talking Duke? Yes, please!
I'm so absolutely thrilled with this book. Such a great story and character. It's such a fresh take on a love story. A bit of a second chance romance mixed with a fairytale and topped with that Louise Bay magic that makes everything better.
This is a MUST read! I fell so in love with Ryder as much as he fell in love with Scarlett. Two characters who find in each other what they never knew they always needed. And this book is exactly what you've come to love about a Louise Bay novel: fun, sexy, STEAMY, and full of heart.
Narration by Saskia Maarleveld and Shane East was perfectly cast. Saskia brought vulnerability and strength to Scarlett and Shane's voice oozed sex appeal as Ryder. And that accent...wow!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Strong female lead changed to whiny & meek.
first half of the book you have a strong Confident Woman which turned into a total opposite whiny and meek stranger annoyingly questioning everything throughout the second half on thoughts that would normally be common sense to pretty much anyone. sad representation of women & just extremely annoying. nearly quit listening many times and surprised I actually finished. wasn't worth my listening time in the least.

Perfect fairytale romance!
It was predictable with plenty of romance & steam. This started as an 'about last night' and ended with my heart fluttering. There's no real drama. I enjoyed listening to Scarlet's story (sister of Max King of King of Wall Street). LB didn't disappoint. Although this is a series, this being book 3 these are all stand alone books for various family or friends of Max King. Narrators were fantastic! Would be a great road trip listen. Worth my credit: yes! I can't wait for Violet's book.

Unremarkable
It was "okay". not special or great. The characters were surface only. I didn't love either of them. This felt like a book that was written in a weekend. Sweet story, but rushed and not well written. it almost felt like a children's book. other than the "love scenes" which was rushed and redundant. the conversations were; he said, she said, he said, she said, they said, I said, he said... redundant as well. not a lot of thought put in to the way it reads.

Use that credit!
Another good story by Louise Bay. For those of us who love this genre, this one is definitely a winner. The narration was perfect and the ending, well...

BRILLIANT LOVE STORY 💖💖💖💖💖
LOVED both characters, Ryder and Sharlotte meet the first time when he's trying to by her business. There is a attraction between them, but she wants his money to help her business and he wants just to by it.
Enter the story line, Sharlotte's been terribly hurt by her first husband in a painful divorce . Ryder is kinda one night guy with no plans for marriage. But to save his family's home and title he must be married. before his Grandfather dies or has a greedy cousin who will inherit the the title in the land.
At first Ryder seems not to care about the title and the estate, his sister is the one that takes care of the estste and the land and he wants her to have the home she loves. His Grandfather had part of ownership in Ryder's business and put it in his will as part of his Estate. Now to save everything he needs a wife only until he can inherit his Grandfather's estate.
Now he needs a wife. but who...who can he pay to be just his wife ? ....Sharlotte !!
Fun read , fabulous storyline ! . GREAT NARRATORS, especially SHANE EAST !!💖💖
PERCT BRITISH ACCENT, BROUGHT RYDER TO LIFE !! ALSO SASKIA MAARLEVELD WAS GREAT WITH SHARLOTTE'S VOICE!!
BROVO LOUISE BAY!!

Duke Rules!
Where does Duke of Manhattan rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Read the whole series thus far and greatly enjoyed Ryder and Scarlett. They are a great couple and the entire story was well done. It took off fast and kept going. I so wish there was a follow up and an additional story about these too. I enjoyed Max King and Harper but loved reading about Max's sister and her HEA with Ryder. Great summer read!

Dreadful.
Extremely poor all the way around. The narration was especially painful. Absolutely do not recommend this book.

A 5 star Sexy Must Listen!
I loved it! It was sexy, funny, full of angst, & steamy. The storyline kept me hanging on & wanting more. The narrators did a perfect job of conveying the emotions. I loved Shane West! His accent was very sexy. Sasha Maarleveld delivered a great performance as well. Thank you for another great story Louise Bay!
