About this listen

The brooding, illegitimate son of a duke meets his match in the determined woman hired to transform him into a gentleman from USA Today best-selling author Christi Caldwell - perfect for fans of Bridgerton.

Rafe Audley lives to thwart his father, the duke of Bentley. The ne’er-do-well who abandoned his children claims he wants to make up for his failures, but Rafe only cares about protecting the people of his mining community and providing for his three siblings, who've been his sole responsibility since childhood. So far, Rafe has turned away the duke's man of affairs, solicitor, and other interlopers, until the clever duke sends the unlikeliest of people to convince Rafe to join English High Society - a bold and intriguing woman.

Edwina Dalrymple has never failed a charge. She's quite adept at successfully transforming young women of the gentry and daughters of newly minted lords to take their place in society. Taming a bastard son of a duke will be child's play, plus this job promises to enhance her reputation within the ton. All she has to do is fetch the wayward Rafe and groom him to be presentable to Polite Society.

As the tenacious teacher and her domineering, stubborn, refuses-to-be-taught pupil engage in a fiery battle of wills, their chemistry ignites and the true lesson becomes clear: Opposites attract and hearts must be heard.

Critic Reviews

"Along Came a Lady is exactly what I needed to read right now. Edwina and Rafe’s love story is ribboned with subtleties about gender roles and class expectations that make this novel both thoughtful and delightful all at once.” (Jodi Picoult, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Book of Two Ways)

"Christi Caldwell's crisp, sparkling writing is infused with emotion, passion, and a belief in the healing power of love. This is terrific Regency romance!" (Amanda Quick, New York Times best-selling author)

"Emotional, funny, and filled with passion - everything I want in a romance.” (Lorraine Heath, New York Times best-selling author of The Duchess Hunt)

Story was nice and light. It was easy to follow and I enjoyed listening to it after finishing a more stressful story. Will look at other books by this author.

Good light reading
