One Winter with a Baron

The Heart of a Duke, Book 12

By: Christi Caldwell

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

A clever spinster.

Content with her spinster lifestyle, Miss Sybil Cunning wants to prove that a future as an unmarried woman is the only life for her. As a bluestocking who values hard, empirical data, Sybil needs help with her research. Nolan Pratt, Baron Webb, one of society's most scandalous rakes, is the perfect gentleman to help her. After all, he inspires fear in proper mothers and desire within their daughters.

A notorious rake.

Society may be aware of Nolan Pratt, Baron's Webb's wicked ways, but what he has carefully hidden is his miserable handling of his family's finances. When Sybil presents him the opportunity to earn much-needed funds, he can't refuse.

A winter to remember.

However, what begins as a business arrangement becomes something more and with every meeting, Sybil slips inside his heart. Can this clever woman look beneath the veneer of a coldhearted rake to see the man Nolan truly is?

Short, sweet, simple.

This was a simple tale fashioned to fit into the series. Kind of a bonus I guess. Very short, simple and sweet. That's it.

A nice, short love story

Overall, I'd rate this a 4. Not what I necessarily enjoy the most from CC, but it was not bad either. I enjoyed learning how these characters unfolded.

A treat

It’s a classic romance that finishes with a smile-inducing happily ever after, nothing more or less.

Great Holiday Story

This is a great romance which just happened to be set during the holidays. Christi Caldwell has written another great book, a little shorter but just as emotional and touching as a longer story. Tim Campbell has again performed wonderfully.

so sweet

but not boring. its clean so you can listen to it anywhere and the ending is warm and fuzzy. The way its read with a 'posh' accent is pretty cool as well. Well worth listening to.
