The Duke I Once Knew

By: Olivia Drake

Narrated by: Helen Lloyd

For years, Abigail Linton devoted herself to caring for her parents and her siblings’ children. Now, eager to create a life of her own, Abby seizes upon a position as a governess on a neighboring estate. Unfortunately, her absentee employer is Maxwell Bryce, the Duke of Rothwell, the notorious rake who once broke her youthful heart. But since he hasn’t set foot on his estate for 15 years, Abby assumes she’ll never have to lay eyes on him ever again. Then, from out of nowhere, Max appears. He is stunned to come face-to-face with the girl he fell for years ago - before he went away and she stopped writing to him...even though Abby swears that he is the one who left her without a word. Could it be that this spirited, witty spinster has won Max’s heart all over again - and that they may have a second chance at love?

Love this book and cant wait till the others come out! Waiting on pins and needles!

Engaging! Yet Hero isn't very heroic...

& Heroine is her family's doormat. But hero points it out, so I felt it made it part of the growth of the characters. I would've liked to have seen more commitment to love by hero towards heroine though. More than sex to link their childhood love to love in their present. Many times he thinks love or honorable thoughts (reader gets insight) but consistently acts openly flirtatiously with other woman & was not honorable by bringing Mistress-to-be/Londoner party to his house where his sister was. Teen girls should've been more severely punished, as their behavior at that time would've immediately ruined them forever. Too flippantly handled & not accurate to times. Also, some of the letters should've been read & part of it.
