Summary

One forbidden night...

It's 1816 and nineteen-year-old Eliza Melrose, daughter of a printing magnate, is about to be launched into London's high society - much to her distaste, the last thing she wants is a husband.

But then she meets the youngest son of the late Duke of Chester, a disgraced nobleman who is shrouded in mystery and proving quite impossible to resist!

As the season begins, Eliza is shocked to discover that she won't even be given the chance to choose her own husband - and that the Melrose family fortune hangs in the balance...

But will she risk everything for just one night with the Duke?

Sexy and scandalous,this is the regency novel you've been waiting for! Jodi Ellen Malpas is now published in more than 25 languages around the world.

Wow, another great book from JEM

I was looking forward to this, to see how much I would recognise Jodi's normal style. I have to say it's definitely here. It was nice to have it wrapped up in a different era though. If you love Jodi's usual books then I am sure you will love this. If you love historical stories like Pride and Prejudice then again I think you will love this. I definitely look forward to hearing more historical stories from Jodi. As far as the audio side goes the Narrator Aurora is really good and creates each character well.

Enjoyable story

I’ve seen other reviews suggesting the story goes on for too long and I’d agree. Most of the narrative takes a good while to go through, so the wrapping up of loose ends at the end of the story felt rushed. Overall a good story and I enjoyed the narrator, although wonder if she had a sore throat from the male voices.

It’s better than half of Bridgerton

Great performance, story longer than it should be but interesting nonetheless. Better than half of the Bridgerton series

OK ish

I can see why this gets mixed reviews, some of the story is ok and the rest rather dull. Narration was good by Aurora.
I don't think I'll be bothering with book 2 when it comes out!

So long and boring

I struggled on with this audio book even though I was dreadfully bored by the whole thing, which was not improved by the dreadful narration which cadence went between up and down and sometimes I could not understand it was so quiet that I had to go back to understand what she was saying. Can I also point out that the ton is spelt with an O and not a U. Very disappointing

Listened twice already

Loved this book so much, not ashamed to say I’ve listened twice already. Wasn’t sure on the 1st person narrative at first but soon settled in and Aurora Dawson-Hunte’s narration was amazing! Can’t wait for the next one in the series

OK, but that's all

This was tolerable. I'm glad I didn't pay full price or a whole credit for it, but got it on a 2for1 offer. I've certainly listened to better.

The narrator was tolerable too, again I've heard much better with a better range of voices.

Overall, the whole thing of being told in the first person was very odd and getting to the conclusion was like pulling hen's teeth and I'm not sure it was worth the effort to get there. Also, all the modern critical tropes of everyday realities of the time were annoying eg talking about not liking the "ton clothes", alluding to her corset, when EVERY woman whether the height of the ton, living in the country or working in the fields would have worn corsets! It's like saying women in the country wouldn't have worn a bra just because they lived in the country! Ridiculous!

I certainly can't understand all the glowing 5* reviews, they must not have read many other HR books if they consider this "up there"!! I'd probably give it a B or perhaps a B+ with a "can do better"

Well worth a listen

Really enjoyed this, easy to listen to not to many characters (I sometimes forget who is who) but I followed this fine and thought the story as just the right length with a good ending
