Summary
The son of a Duke finds himself in a race against time - his freedom hanging in the balance. Can he find a husband for a stubborn woman who doesn’t want to marry? If not, he might be forced to marry her himself.
When Allison and Fitz are discovered together alone in a greenhouse, Allison’s reputation is threatened, and Fitz learns that Allison is not just another lady but is the sister-in-law of his closest friend. Using his wealth and power, Fitz hopes to avoid a union and salvage her reputation by silencing the witnesses. Unfortunately, one of the witnesses is Allison’s uncle and he wishes to see his niece marry.
Fitz suggests that rather than marry Allison himself, he will introduce her to a series of eligible bachelors so she can pick her own husband. The uncle agrees, provided a groom is found before he returns from a trip he’s taking to Ireland. Unfortunately, Allison does not want to get married.
Will Fitz's plan work, will Allison secure her independence, or will these two find themselves in love?
Set in regency era England, The Duke and The Damsel is the second standalone novel in the sweet romantic series, Pathways to Romance.

Sweet but a little underdeveloped
This book was sweet and enjoyable but lacking a bit of depth. Allisopn and Fitz are thrown together because of a misunderstanding but feel compelled to address the issue as Allison's sister is married to Fitz's friend. True to the Regency period, the issue is related to potential scandal, a possible compromise and marriage. Namely Allison's marriage, hopefully to someone other than Fitz.
I feel the story from this point is a little underdeveloped. There are potentially dangerous and dodgy characters but that part of the story barely took off. I would have liked to see something come of these characters' interference. The two protagonists eventually end up together but the route to get there really lacked challenges and obstacles one would anticipate with a romance.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Good
This was a good listen but it felt rushed towards the end. Alison's problems after being found in a compromising position were glossed over and resolved very quickly at the end. We didn't get to see her being introduced to eligible bachelors bar one and a scandalous proposition from an unscrupulous character could have led to more drama but story arc came to nothing.
There quite a few cute and funny scenes which had me smiling.

Reluctant to love couple find happy ever after
Think I liked this one even more than the first one in the series. I didn't really like Allison in the first story about her sister Julia, but in this one you see another side to Allison and why she doesn't want to find love or be in love. This is a standalone but you would be better off reading the first book as well to get more of the background to Allison's story. I wasn't sure if I liked Fitz at first but his attitude towards marriage is not uncommon in historical romances. I loved that he was the first to realise his feelings and then he had to find out how he could win her. Megan's narration was great, she quickly embodies the essence of the characters and she has a wonderful voice for historical romances.

The Duke and the Damsel
This is a really fun listen Allison does not wish to marry, but after being found in a compromising situation with Fitz her uncle insists. The story plays out so fun with the pair finding them selves in love after all. Megan Green does a lovely job on the narration.

Amazing story by Cinnamon Worth & Megan Green.
Another amazing story written by Cinnamon Worth, and narration by Megan Green.
It was fun and interesting to explore the story of Allison and Fitz in this book.
