An Unlikely Duchess

By: Nadine Millard

Narrated by: Beverley A. Crick

Edward Crawdon, Duke of Hartridge, is being forced by his slightly overbearing but loving mother to spend time with her old friends at their estate in Ireland. He does not know it, but a contract exists between the two families stating that Edward must marry their eldest daughter.

On the day of his arrival, Edward meets Lady Rebecca, Caroline's younger sister, under very unusual circumstances. Edward cannot stop thinking about Lady Rebecca, but she is completely unsuited to being a duchess. However, she becomes rather a toast of the Ton, and even though he cannot marry her, Edward realizes that he cannot stand idly by and watch Rebecca marry someone else.

Will Edward admit his true feelings for Rebecca? Will he defy his responsibilities and duties, his idea of a "proper" duchess, and follow his heart?

What made the experience of listening to An Unlikely Duchess the most enjoyable?

great story of a woman whowas not raised by her family to be Duchess material and yet she outshines her sister and fines a wonderful love

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

Yes

Very enjoyable

I liked this a lot! I listened to this going to bed and woke my husband laughing out loud. I loved the characters and the dialogue was a riot. Rebecca is quite a lady. And Edward is charming. This was a pleasure!

Narration

Only the high pitch of narrator’s voice. It did no justice to the male voices. Also, too excited and rapid. I slowed the speed but two narrators, male and female would have helped he audible version of this story.

I was hoping for more but.....

This was actually a good story and a definitely 4 star worthy effort on Nadine Millard's part, but again as so many romance novels do, the story ran flat soon after. There were moments where the story was more entertaining and moments where it dragged on. Overall entertaining and if you are looking for a historical romance and are okay with a not very challenging love story but one where the issues get solved easily and without much fuss then this could be a possibility for you.

Delightful light Romance

Delightful light romance with a delightful heroine. The narrator was ok but could have been better.
