The Duke Buys a Bride

The Rogue Files

By: Sophie Jordan

Narrated by: Carmen Rose

A bride wasn’t in his plans . . .

The last thing Marcus, the Duke of Autenberry, expects to see after sleeping off a night’s drunken shenanigans is a woman being auctioned in the village square. Before he can think about the ramifications, he buys her, thinking he’s winning the girl her freedom. Instead, he discovers he’s bought a wife.

A duke wasn’t in hers . . .

Alyse Bell is almost rid of the shackles that bound her in a name-only marriage, but the day her friend promised to purchase her in a wife auction, he vanishes, leaving her to face a mob of unsavory bachelors intent on owning her body and soul. But the appearance of a wicked, wealthy stranger changes her path forever.

The road to ruin . . .

Marcus doesn’t know what to do with the impertinent chit who clearly isn’t duchess material! Insisting their marriage isn’t legitimate, they leave for his estate in Scotland, hoping to devise a plan to get rid of each other. However, on a journey fraught with misadventure, their attraction grows and Marcus realizes he’ll do anything to keep this fiery woman for his own.

Ehh

The story was okay. Not what I was expecting. But the performance killed me! No feelings in tone. It was so monotone I was DYING to hurry it on. She did the men's voices fairly well. It was just so BORING to listen to. I might have enjoyed the story more if I just read it myself.

Excellent

Loved the story and the premise. Great narration also. Hope there is a next one

Just lovely!

Such a lovely story. Once I started it, I could not stop listening and completed it in one day. I’ve never done that with an audiobook before! I’m looking forward to listening to the next one!

great book

Loved it. Another great book by Sophie Jordan. Looking forward to listening to more of her books.

A little too much banter

Not what I expected. The journey was a bit long. Ultimately, a good love story.
