About this listen

The day was as hot as the pond was inviting. It's not as if anyone in Little Huffington was going to happen upon a secluded vale on the Duke of Greycliffe's lands. And Venus Collingswood didn't want to get her shift all wet. It was the perfect setting in which to plan her lovely bookworm of a sister's betrothal to the mysterious new duke arriving seven days hence. If only she had a suitable accomplice....

Andrew Valentine, Duke of Greycliffe, never thought arriving at his own household a week early would cause so much trouble. The housekeeper thinks he's his own cousin. Actually, the chance to not be the duke for a while is a pleasant opportunity indeed. It might even help him interrogate the delectable little nymph he's discovered swimming in his pond - if he can manage to get a word in edgewise.

I listened to the entire series back to back as I found each book engaging and was left hungry for the next. Needless to say i enjoyed it all. Venus and Drew's 'meet-cute' developes into a love that will endure decades, setting the tone for the coming book's themes: marriages of love, compatibility and respect. Whilst I am sure this, and each book, can be listened to as a standalone, I recommend starting here and completing the series in order, particularly as Venus's character is integral to each. Enjoy!

Lovely short story - didn't like narrator - she sound stilted and pause-y. Almost ruin the story for me but I persevered and it was ok.
