About this listen

Sent to London by her untrustworthy uncle, the beautiful and feisty Katherine Ralston arrives for the Season in utter despair. Not only is she caught up in the mad whirl of ballgowns and galas, she must also make certain that her disreputable uncle doesn't sell her family estate in her absence. Katherine Ralston, a country girl at heart, sees the Season in London as something she must endure.

Nicholas Varnon, known as the Black Duke for his rakish and irresistible charms, sees the season as a chance to repair his rakish reputation. Yet, he seems to be taking quite an interest in the spirited Katherine. Suspicious of trickery, Katherine is determined to ignore the sinfully sexy charms of the Black Duke. Little does she know, she may have just met her white knight in shining armor....

Contains mature themes.

Critic Reviews

"Absolutely delightful . . . if you aren't reading the smaller Regencies you are missing a rare treat. The stories are innovative and the characters lively. Good job, Ms. Enoch. " ---Affaire de Coeur

...and a rather shrewish Kate. I enjoyed this audiobook for its story progression, the occasionally witty dialogue and the contrasting facets of the Duke's persona. However, i was disappointed by Kate. She's a cappuccino made with quality beans and burnt milk. Her circumstance upon arriving in London leant itself to sympathy and she soon found protection, goodwill and friendship, but...her immaturity was prevalent over the last chapters where I was constantly distracted by thoughts of wishing she'd just grow up already. She was nice and independent overall and nowhere near as annoying as some other FMC's I've encountered in other books so i do recommend this one for the little goodie it is.
