Publisher's Summary

The third sensual romance in the 1797 Club series by USA Today Bestselling Author Jess Michaels.

Adelaide Longford is London’s most overlooked bluestocking wallflower and that is fine by her. Being ignored gives her the perfect opportunity to sneak out and secretly take on the persona of the most celebrated actress of the day, Lydia Ford. The thrill of walking the boards and hearing the applause of those who watch her is the most exciting experience of her life. 

Until Graham Everly, Duke of Northfield comes into her life. He is broken after the humiliating loss of his longtime fiancé to his supposed best friend and they enter into a lusty affair which sets her body on fire. Graham has no idea why he’s so attracted to both the bespectacled, prickly Adelaide and the passionate Lydia, but soon he is caught in a dance with them both and torn between which future he wants to pursue. 

When Graham finds out Adelaide’s secret identity will he be able to accept both parts of her? And will he be able to save her from a lurking danger that neither of them could have ever foreseen?

Pure Brilliance once again

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Jess brings her characters alive, and I have fallen in love with this group of brothers...

What other book might you compare The Broken Duke to, and why?

I have read numerous books that might have compared, but honestly don't stand out in comparison to Jess Michaels.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I love the scene where she is uncovered, and his response is "Thank God"... I was so touched that in that moment that was his first reaction, proving his love for her.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely, I actually love that I can listen to it whilst driving, at work, cooking and ironing.... really upset that the next book "The Silent Duke" is not available in Audible...

Any additional comments?

I would love to get The Silent Duke and the Duke of Nothing in Audible Narration. I love reading/listening to whole series... so find myself at a loss as to what to do next as I cant move onto the book after these two without having listened to them. I hope this can be done as I'd love to finish the whole series.

SLOW SLOW SLOW

I usually like D. O'Farrell's narrating but this was desperately slow and wispy. The male voices were horrible, it was nearly laughable.

The story was painfully slow. I'm getting my credit back on this one. If you're looking for similar but much better than this try books by Tessa Dare and Kerrigan Byrne.
