Summary

In this captivating novel, Mary Balogh, the premier writer of Regency romance, invites you into a world of scandal and seduction, of glittering high society and intrigue, as an arrogant duke does the unthinkable - he falls in love with his mistress.

She raced onto the green, desperate to stop a duel. In the mêlée, Jocelyn Dudley, Duke of Tresham, was shot. To his astonishment, Tresham found himself hiring the servant as his nurse. But Jane Ingleby was far too bold for her own good. Her blue eyes were the sort a man could drown in - were it not for her impudence. She questioned his every move, breached his secrets, touched his soul. When he offered to set her up in his London town house, love was the last thing on his mind.

Jane tried to pretend it was strictly business, an arrangement she was forced to accept in order to conceal a dangerous secret. Surely there was nothing more perilous than being the lover of such a man. Yet as she got past his devilish façade and saw the noble heart within, she knew the greatest jeopardy of all, a passion that drove her to risk everything on one perfect month with the improper gentleman who thought love was for fools.

More than a mistress

However many times I read this book I never get tired of the story.
I love the interaction between Jane and the Duke and the silliness of the ton in those times!
I think to me this is one of my top ten stories
and can commend Rosalyn Landor's excellent reading, the way she portrays each character
Is exactly how I imagined their voices to be!
A very enjoyable read!

disappointing narration

I'm a big fan of this book, I've read it time & time again & in my head Tresham is urbane, arrogant, and very sexy. horror of horror the narrator has him sounding like an over 50 pompous leche! i haven't plucked up courage for the steamy beautifully written love scenes.........cringing at the thought of it!!!!! if this is the standard of narrator I think I'll be cancelling my membership sharpish

A great listen.

Really enjoyed listening to this story.
Comical lines and events with believable characters, all made so by a brilliant narrator.

Delicious

One of Mary Balogh's better novels. Great story, a tiny bit of spice and a wonderfully arrogant hero. Rosalyn Landor has also not overdone the treacle this time.

I absolutely enjoyed this book, especially as Rosalyn Landor was the narrator. I loved the storyline, and it kept me so interested.

Bought for the narrator. Wasn't disappointed

Rosalyn Landor could read the phone directory out and I would probably still listen! Great story, beautifully read. Felt the ending was a little bit rushed but otherwise a nicely crafted narrative. Downloaded after listening to Rosalyn narrate Julia Quinn novels but will definitely try more by this author now.

Enjoyable, if a little lengthy

I already like Mary Balogh books and have ready probably most of them. This isn't my favourite series, but it's enjoyable anyway.

As usual, Rosalyn Landor is the perfect narrator and as we know, the narrator can make or break a book - wait until you get to book 3... Overall I'd recommend the series
