For Love of the Duke

The Heart of a Duke, Book 1

By: Christi Caldwell

Narrated by: Morag Sims

After the tragic death of his wife, Jasper, the 8th Duke of Bainbridge buried himself away in the dark cold walls of his home, Castle Blackwood. When he's coaxed out of his self-imposed exile to attend the amusements of the Frost Fair, his life is irrevocably changed by his fateful meeting with Lady Katherine Adamson. With her tight brown ringlets and silly white-ruffled gowns, Lady Katherine Adamson has found her dance card empty for two Seasons. After her father's passing, Katherine learned the unreliability of men, and is determined to depend on no one, except herself. Until she meets Jasper. In a desperate bid to avoid a match arranged by her family, Katherine makes the Duke of Bainbridge a shocking proposition; one that he accepts. Only, as Katherine begins to love Jasper, she finds the arrangement agreed upon is not enough. And Jasper is left to decide if protecting his heart is more important than fighting for Katherine's love.

Very enjoyable!!!!

AWESOME READ!!!!!!!! Can not wait to read her next book!!!! Fresh new writer to enjoy!!!

Such a great listen!

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for the sisters story next! This was such a nice listen, love, anguish, the evil parents only out for themselves and making their kids lives so much harder....oh, and a hot duke!

A wonderful narration of such a romantic novel!

Would you consider the audio edition of For Love of the Duke to be better than the print version?

Both are just as romantic and wonderful. The narrator does an excellent job with the different voices, both male and female. I truly enjoyed listening to it. I have read the book as well.

What was one of the most memorable moments of For Love of the Duke?

Their first encounter, meet at the bookstore, the proposal.... I'm still listening to the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were many. The proposal. Their kissing scenes.

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

Yes.

Any additional comments?

I found this story to be quite romantic and fun. I'd highly recommend this audiobook and Christi Caldwell's novels.

Absolutely Amazing!

The whole series is worth a read, but Book 1 is truly magical. I was so engrossed in this book that it pained me to pause for sleep. Great wit and humor. True emotion that you can feel. The narrator does an amazing job embodying the essence of each character. This is absolutely one of my favorite books now and the audio version is a must have!

Entertaining Story

Any additional comments?

This was an entertaining listen, but rather lightweight and shallow. Very formulaic and predictable but still held my attention.
