Summary

At the age of 25, confirmed spinster Isabella Peregrine is given an unexpected ultimatum by her new step-mother: find a husband or I'll find one for you.

Thoroughly in a tizz, Isabella proposes a marriage of convenience to the nearest male to her - who just so happens to be the brooding, intimidating Duke of Blackmore. When he rebuffs her clumsy advances, Isabella leaves for London, determined to find the man of her dreams and soothe her bruised ego.

Michael Linfield, Duke of Blackmore is a legendary, fearsome war hero; famous for reducing debutantes and their mothers to floods of tears with just one glance. The brooding giant of a man is hiding a secret however - a debilitating stammer that has haunted him since childhood. When the delightful Miss Peregrine proposes a marriage of convenience to him - with no benefits - Michael is so startled that his stammer reappears and all he can manage to reply is "N-n-no".

When news of Isabella's success in London soon reaches his ears, Michael is determined to go to town and win her as his own, if only she'll give him a second chance at love.

This sweet and clean regency romance is a standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA.

Proposing to a Duke

A very entertaining story about Michael who suffers with a terrible stammer since childhood and Isabella who is forced to find herself a husband or face being married off by her step-mother.
Great job by the narrator.

Regency romance with a little more!

This audiobook has all that is expected of a Regency romance. It has the sprawling country estates, the tall and darkly brooding Duke, a lady considered on the shelf, the ballrooms, Almacks, Lady Jersey and so on. Except this book is different. It touches on childhood trauma, speech impediments, the unforgiving nature of society and its sheer ridiculous double standards. But mostly it has a very satisfying romance between a Duke of substance and a lady worth having.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Clean regency romance

Proposing to a Duke is not as funny as some the authors other books but it is still a great listen. I did at times feel like banging the two main charaters heads together but we get there in the end.
I liked the fact that Isabella saves herself and the hero came a little late to save her. I loved her character and I thought she is more braver then the Duke of Blackmore when it comes down to saying what they want.
Some reviewers have called this a bit silly well in that time people did act silly but then again they did not have t.v's, phones, any type of gadgets or cars. They had to make their own entertainment and society was a lot different to what it is now. There was a lot of drama then. I am not saying that it would have happened this way but it would not have surprised me if it did.
This is for those who enjoy clean regency romance.
I loved it and would highly recommend it.
