Publisher's Summary
Her Aunt Allegra said, "A young lady with a fortune is subject to all sorts of untoward attentions by the worst sort of vagrants."
It is a lesson Tabitha Timmons, a penniless spinster, has never needed to heed. That is, until she is left a vast fortune payable only upon her marriage to the very respectable Mr. Barkworth - a match that offers little chance of discovering exactly what her aunt means by "untoward attentions."
But the same can't be said when the Duke of Preston happens along Tabitha's path. He spies a rebellious streak in her that matches his own, and he makes it his mission to save her from such a passionless match, interfering in her life at every turn. All too soon, Preston - whose very name spells ruin - has Tabitha caught between the good fortune that guarantees her security, and his kiss, which promises an entirely different kind of happily-ever-after.

Another Great Regency Romance
Lots of twists and turns for the young heroine in this book.
Took me a while to get into this book as I wasn't thrilled with the narrator. She doesn't really have a great voice for doing the male characters.
But I did get used to her interpretation
Otherwise an excellent book.

Nice story
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Only with a warning regarding the narrator
What didn’t you like about Susan Duerden’s performance?
Susan has quite a good reading voice. Her young female characters are OK however her older females tend to be screechy. Her male characters are awful and are somewhat exaggerated, almost aggressive and overdone. I’m not sure if I grew used to her or if perhaps she softened somewhat as the story rolled on. I wonder if she would be better to not try so hard.
I hate to criticise as I appreciate how difficult it must be to do this. 😜
Did Along Came a Duke inspire you to do anything?
I’m reluctant to listen to the remaining books in the series because of the narrator.
