Publisher's Summary

The Duke of Rockliffe is 36 years old, head of his house, and responsible for his young sister, Nell. He is, therefore, under some pressure to choose a suitable bride. Whilst accompanying Nell to what he speedily comes to regard as the house-party from hell, he meets Adeline Kendrick - acid-tongued, no more than passably good-looking yet somehow alluring. Worse still, her relatives are quite deplorable - from a spoiled, ill-natured cousin to a sadistic, manipulative uncle. As a prospective bride, therefore, Adeline is out of the question. Until, that is, a bizarre turn of events cause the Duke to throw caution to the wind and make what his world will call a mésalliance.

Still a good story

I liked this one a lot, a little less than the first one, though. Mainly because I can't handle characters who lie and just get deeper and deeper into it without telling anyone. But anyways.

Rockcliffe is amazing. He's a fantastic character, and Alex Wyndham is basically the most perfect narrator there could ever be for him with a silky smooth voice. However, I didn't like Adeline's voice - as with the first, it seemed weak and dry. Nell's voice was better done, but I hope the next few books improve for the women's voices. Adeline herself was the character I liked the least, unfortunately. She was supposed to be strong and wild, but turned into a doormat.

The plot is good - funny, if a bit predictable. I really enjoyed the side story romances - Nell and Harry and Jack and Thea. The setting, 1776, was well-described and easy to imagine. Lots of talk about whether they should powder their hair or not (I sense a change coming ...).

I feel like my review does not do this book justice - it is really good if you like historical romance and want a good listen.

For the audiobook - the last 15 minutes or so are a bedroom scene.
