A Duchess a Day

By: Charis Michaels

Narrated by: Morag Sims

USA Today bestselling author Charis Michaels enchants with her Awakened by a Kiss series, taking our favorite fairy tales' forgotten characters and making them the hero of their own story.

An heiress with a plan…

Lady Helena Lark has spent years trying to escape her wedding to the vain and boring Duke of Lusk. She’s evaded, refused, even run away. When her family’s patience runs out, they pack her off to London to walk down the aisle. But Helena has another idea: find a more suitable bride to take her place, even if she must look for a replacement duchess every day.

A bodyguard with a job to do…

Declan Shaw, better known as “The Huntsman,” is a mercenary who can pick and choose his clientele. After his last job, escorting a young noblewoman to France, landed him in jail under false accusations, he wants nothing to do with aristocrats or women. But the law isn’t done with him, and if he agrees to babysit a duke’s errant fiancé, the payout could make his legal troubles go away.

A most unexpected alliance…

When their worlds collide, Declan realizes that containing his new client is only slightly harder than keeping his hands off her. Helena senses an ally in her handsome new bodyguard and solicits his help. Together they must escape the forces that oppose them and fight for the fairy-tale love they desire.

Loved It!

I enjoyed the story and the narration very much . I hope more of Charis Michaels books are recorded and released on Audible soon .

Wish I would have checked it out from the library

This one is a middle of the road for me. It's light and low angst which I like but it kind of lacks really much of anything to make it memorable except for the tie in to Snow White. The reader gives a 3 star performance as well. Definitely not the best but certainly not the worst performance ever except for the sister, Joan. That voice was atrocious!! I cannot believe that a producer listened to this and didn't demand it be changed. But I am constantly amazed at how many errors and issues make it into audiobooks even when they are professionally done.

So much fun!

I really enjoyed this book. It was such a fun and surprising take on the Snow White fairy tale, but with such clever tweaks to the well-known tale. I may have even laughed aloud when I finally “got” the joke of all those duchesses.
