The Gentleman Spy

Serendipity & Secrets Series, Book 2

By: Erica Vetsch

Narrated by: Mary Sarah

He only wanted a duchess for a day - but she's determined to make it a marriage for life.

When his father and older brother suddenly pass away, the new Duke of Haverly is saddled with a title he never expected to bear. To thwart the plans of his scheming family, the duke impulsively marries a wallflower. After all, she's meek and mild; it should be easy to sequester her in the country and get on with his life - as a secret agent for the Crown.

But his bride has other ideas. She's determined to take her place not only as his duchess but as his wife. As a duchess, she can use her position to help the lowest of society - the women forced into prostitution because they have no skills or hope. Her endeavors are not met favorably in society, nor by her husband who wishes she'd remain in the background as he ordered.

Can the duke succeed in relegating her to the sidelines of his life? When his secrets are threatened with exposure, will his new wife be an asset or a liability?

Narrator improvement

The second installment of this series by the same narrator that was so awful in the first book has improved tremendously. Was not distracting and did a good job with both male and female voices. Great story and can’t wait to purchase author’s next book.

Story entertaining

The narrator’s tone, pronunciation, and cadence were terrible. The plot was entertaining and interestingly developed.

Most excellent audiobook!

From the writing to the presentation, I loved everything about this book. Best I’ve heard in eons. My thanks to the author and narrator!

A concern

I am hard of hearing, and often found the whispered voice difficult to understand. And I’m struggling with whether or not I will purchase the next book in the series.

The book is well written, and I like the complexity of the characters…

Good story, annoying narrator -

I almost stopped after the first chapter because narrator was soooo annoying - but the story hooked me - may read the next book if it's the same narrator -
