My Fair Duchess

A Once upon a Rogue Novel, Book 1

By: Julie Johnstone

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

After years of playing the rogue to hide a dark family secret, the Duke of Aversley feels tainted beyond redemption and cynical beyond repair. Never does he imagine hope will come in the form of a quirky, quick-witted lady determined to win the heart of another aristocrat.

Thanks to a painfully awkward past, Lady Amelia De Vere long ago relinquished the notion she was a flower that had yet to blossom. But when her family faces financial ruin and the man she has always loved is on the verge of marrying another, she’ll try anything to transform herself to capture her childhood love and save her family—including agreeing to participate in a bet between her brother and the notorious, dangerously handsome Duke Of Aversley.

Bound by the bet, Amelia and Aversley discover unexpected understanding and passion beyond their wildest dreams, if only they can let go of their pride, put trust in each other and chance losing their hearts. This is book one in the Regency Romance series Once Upon a Rogue.

Good book!!!

I’ve listened to this book more than once and enjoyed it every time. It’s fun, but serious, humorous and heartwarming yet angsty and a bit gritty....

Excellent narration!

Worth it!

Emotional Triumph

A beautifully written story by Julie Johnstone that brings both tears and smiles. Beautifully performed by Tim Campbell as always.

Just ok

I was looking for something different, didn't find it here. Just ok. I like books to grab me make me want to stay up all night knowing I have to get up early the next day. I don't find that here but it was entertaining.

Forgot about my life's tribulations reading it. LOVED IT

I absolutely adore this book. ADULT mature characters, engaging story and a Duke that makes all other men I know seem very small in comparison. I stayed up until 2 am reading this book even though I had to be at work by 8 am. You will absolutely love it too.

Just so so

I have read a number of Ms Johnstone's books and liked most of them. This one, however, is not her best. Even Tim Campbell isn't on his best performance. I will probably return.
