About this listen

The one woman he will never forget

Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has lived the last three years in self-imposed solitude, paying the price for a mistake he can never reverse and a love he lost forever. The dukedom does not wait, however, and Haven requires an heir, which means he must find himself a wife by summer's end. There is only one problem - he already has one.

The one man she will never forgive

After years in exile, Seraphina, Duchess of Haven, returns to London with a single goal - to reclaim the life she left and find happiness, unencumbered by the man who broke her heart. Haven offers her a deal: Sera can have her freedom just as soon as she finds her replacement - which requires her to spend the summer in close quarters with the husband she does not want but somehow cannot resist.

A love that neither can deny

The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day The Day of the Duchess.

Firstly, to the author- please, please, do not ever type the phrase, "cut her a look" again. Sarah MacLean, I have never heard a phrase so over used before by an auther. Stop that!
As for my review...
In the end I enjoyed this story. The layout was different, and at first the time jumps annoyed me, but I did get used to it and enjoyed the style.
I love the Soiled Sisters, the comedy and general feminism of this series.
Again the narrator does a good job with a number of characters, and the sex scenes are very steamy.
4/5

Different to the others, in a good way

I loved this more than I thought I would. Interesting plot and story development. Likeable leads each emotionally bruised by the other through badly contrived circumstance, misunderstanding and poor communication. It was interesting to see their love story play out and get a sense of each of the Talbot sister’s personalities. The narration was excellent. I recommend.

Enjoyable
