The Duke Meets His Match

De: Karen Tuft

Narrado por: Noah Wall

At 30 years of age, Susan Jennings has long been considered a spinster. Exceptionally intelligent, she has little tolerance for London and the dreaded Season - if that’s how one is expected to find love, it’s not for her. But when an invitation arrives that cannot be ignored, Susan leaves her comfortable life in the country and enters the fashion and frivolity she most despises. She quickly discovers, however, that there is more to loathe in London - and his name is George Kendall.

George, Duke of Aylesham, has learned to keep his distance from cloying females chasing the title of duchess. Susan Jennings, however, proves an entirely different challenge - a woman who has pushed him to the limit of his patience with their every encounter. But their simmering hostility is disrupted by a thoughtless slipup: to avoid a marriage of political strategy, George claims he is already betrothed. And when pressed for the name of the lucky woman, only one name comes to mind: Susan’s. Their forced betrothal proves advantageous, but when their verbal sparring must change in order to be convincing, the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred by something neither expected: love.

Loved it

It has a very Nice ending.
You just won’t want to leave it until you finish the last page.

What a good story

Clean, funny,sweet, lovely. All-around great story! The narration was slightly fast, so if you want it at easy listening speed, set it to .9

An enjoyable story but a few things niged at me.

I liked the twist of the storyline. Quite imaginative. Narration was good, although in the begining I had some issues. Knew narrator was American from the get-go. Also was irritated by the overusage of some gramital terms and names. I felt they were used to add loftiness when not needed often. Will be listening to another though. Hoping to not experience the same issues on the next book.

Like Opening a Treat!

I truly enjoyed beginning this book with frustration at the incorrect judgments thrown at each other, by George and Susan, then watching so comically as their opinions quickly changed through actual association. It was like watching someone dislike a book by looking at its cover, then being forced to read it and see the change in their attitude as they laugh, growl, and cheer throughout the story they initially rejected. I loved the dialogue, and the storyline, and the characters... especially the loveable "Fairy Godmother" and her butler. I would recommend this to all readers who look for clean romantic stories without swearing, or sexual innuendos making romance cheap. I would go so far as to compare Karen Tuft's writing with Jane Austen's style of wording the dialogue in such a way that leaves the true humor and subtle interpretations to the reader, without having to needlessly explain. It feels like reading on deeper levels somehow. 👍

The story was wonderful.

The story ended way too soon for me. I would’ve loved a couple more chapters.

The narrator was excellent

I didn’t love it, but it was worth a listen. It seemed to just scratch the surface plot wise.

Very good story.

This book took my interest the whole time. I was also very happy with the ending.

A great story

I was in like with this story right upon seeing its title. I've listened to it at least twice now. prinny needed a figurehead or a father figure or perhaps a large dose of heavy farm labor. I loved the character of heroine at once, the hero could have been more of a man, at least if one was to compare him with Edens Duke of Kielder who apparently frightened the the fat out of the great prinny. still he is tolerable and his infernal quizzing glass gives me the Willies all the same. I would rank this narrator 3rd place in my list of narrators and that is not an insult. very well done.

Very enjoyable and excellent narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The narration was absolutely excellent especially when she was speaking in German. The narrator made you feel like you were there. The characters were likeable and it had a pretty good storyline too. Highly recommend

new favorite

loved this regency romance! the plot, the characters, and even the narrator. Definitely would recommend and one i will read again.
