By the age of 30, I had suffered more tragedies in my life than anyone should ever have to experience. Even though I ran and owned a multi-billion-dollar enterprise that I saved from bankruptcy, had more money than I could spend, and lived in a high-rise penthouse on Fifth Avenue, my life was still desolate and empty. I closed off my heart and myself to everyone. This was my life until a woman named Zoey Benson crossed my path. For the first time in over five years, I felt something. A feeling that I had long buried deep inside me. A feeling I never wanted to experience again.

Story
Henry, Duke of Torquil, wouldn't be caught reading the wildly popular "Dear Lady Truelove" column, but when its advice causes his mother to embark on a scandalous elopement, an outraged Henry decides the author of this tripe must be stopped before she can ruin any more lives. Though Lady Truelove's identity is a closely guarded secret, Henry has reason to suspect the publisher of the notorious column, beautiful and provoking Irene Deverill, is also its author.
Publisher's Summary
In New York Times best-selling author Marie Force’s dazzling historical romance debut, the clock is ticking for a wealthy duke who must marry by his 30th birthday - or lose his title....
Derek Eagan, the dashing Duke of Westwood, is well aware of his looming deadline. But weary of tiresome debutantes, he seeks a respite at his country home in Essex - and encounters a man digging on his property. Except he’s not a man. He’s a very lovely woman. Who suddenly faints at his feet.
Catherine McCabe’s disdain for the aristocracy has already led her to flee an arranged marriage with a boorish viscount. The last thing she wants is to be waylaid in a duke’s home. Yet, she is compelled to stay by the handsome, thoughtful man who introduces himself as the Duke’s estate manager.
Derek realizes two things immediately: he is captivated by her delicate beauty, and to figure out what she was up to, Catherine must not know he is the Duke. But as they fall passionately in love, Derek’s lie spins out of control. Will their bond survive his deception, not to mention the scorned viscount’s pursuit? Most important, can Catherine fall in love all over again - this time with the Duke?

Marie Force Rocks Her 1st Historical Romance
I love the Marie force Gansett Island series so when I heard she wrote her first Historical Romance, I dedicated to give it a try. To be honest I've been wanting to try out the genre for a while now.
The story itself was utterly amazing. I loved it beyond words. I can't speak highly enough of it. Such a great love story for so many reasons.
The only thing I have negative to say is about the voice actors. There was a male and a female. And while the male did okay, the female could only do the one voice, so it was very hard to figure out if she was speaking as the male or the female at the time. I mean it was really bad. She didn't even try to distinguish between different voices for different characters. They had a male and a female voice actor - so why not have the male read the male parts and the female read the female parts? Would have worked out WAY WAY WAY better.

Great historical novel
Marie does it again. This book was everything we expect from a Marie Force book, great plot, amazing characters and steamy romance. This is my first historical romance and I loved it. Looking forward to the series.

My Musings
Hmm, while there re some delightful moments in this book, I had a difficult time dismissing several problems with it. One cannot decide who will inherit his title in England. Now a duke could decide who would inherit his wealth and unentailed properties. Also, this didn’t feel like an Edwardian romance. He talked of adding a bathing room as if that were a recent invention. It is not. The aristocracy have had them for a long time. Even ones with hot and cold running water. Travel in a horse drawn carriage to Gretna Green could not have been accomplished in 2 days.
Now, let’s talk characters. While I did like both Catherine and Derek, their relationship happens extraordinarily quickly. Plus, Catherine had every right to be angry and dissolutioned when she discovers he’s a duke. This would have been a perfect time to keep them apart sexually and build the sexual tension between then which a keep ingredient in historical romance. While I enjoy sexual scenes and Ms. Force is excellent at writing them, I missed the hesitant kisses and stolen touches where the passion builds until they both combust.
Overall, this is still an engaging read, and I will read the next book in this series, but I do hope Ms. Force will do a bit more research so the die-hard historical romance fans will better appreciate her brilliant writing skills and not be pulled from the story by the inconsistencies.
I did listen the to the audio version of the book, and while they are not the best narrators I’ve listened to, there are certainly not the worst. Personally, I’m not a fan of having two narrators because for me it’s more noticeable when the female is reading the male lines that it’s a female voice trying to sound male, and the same holds true for the male narrator. Happy reading/listening!

A good listen.
I am not one for historical romance but since it was Marie Force I gave it a listen. The voices of the character's really brought it alive. I couldn't wait to find what the key opened and was not disappointed. I did get distracted by the "Simon says" wording but that is just my odd sense of humor. I will definitely be waiting for the next book in the series.

Great First Historical!
Marie Force has been holding back. I loved her Quantum series and her historical series is off to a great start. Can't wait to read more and hopefully hearing Shane and Anais narrating! 😍
