The Reluctant Duchess

De: Roseanna M. White

Narrado por: Liz Pearce

After a shocking attack, Rowena Kinnaird is desperate to escape her family and her ex-fiancé. She finds an unexpected protector in the Duke of Nottingham, but will she ever be able to trust him - let alone fall in love - when his custody of the Fire Eyes jewels endangers her once more?

A riveting Edwardian series set among Britain's high society, Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough - not for her father, not for the man she thought she'd marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she's willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar.

Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one to shy away from manor-born ladies, the last thing he needs is the distraction of Lady Rowena, who finds herself in a desperate situation. But when Rowena's father tries to trap Brice into marrying his daughter, Brice makes a surprising decision.

Rowena wanted to escape the Highlands, but she's reluctant to marry a notorious flirt. And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she's about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid.

starts off strong and continues throughout

The first book was slow and hard to follow but this second one is very good at capturing your attention and keeping it throughout the book. great book!

Great, as always!

I do love Roseanna M. White's stories and writing style. Always some humor, mystery, love, adventure, family devotion, action, and nuggets of faith to take away.
More beloved characters I will miss & hope to see in the 3rd book of this series!
Oh, and Liz Pierce is one of my new favorite narrators!!! This series is the first time I've heard her work but what a linguistic wonder she is! How she managed Scottish/Gaelic, Irish/Gaelic, French, British/English, and then English in all 3 of those accents, plus keeping track of who spoke what... well, it's beyond my comprehension! I just loved it all!

Exceptional Series

I loved this series! The characters are complex and deep. And it’s so refreshing to have characters with common sense! So many books are missing this. The stories are compelling, not predictable. And the narrator: Liz Pearce is a master! Her accents are beautiful and her storytelling is far more a performance piece than just having a book read to you. Especially in this book, going back and forth between Scottish and English, capturing the nuances of the characters emotions, all in fluid conversation. Brilliantly done!

Excellent Tale in the Series

Roseanna White continues to offer exciting and entertaining stories as she continues her epic about rare diamonds, greed, and intrigue, only this time she includes the highlands of Scotland. I thoroughly enjoy her writing and Ms Pearce continues to bring the story to life. Good combination and a must for romance readers.

so many twists & turns!

its was a very interesting & mysterious storyline. some of it was far fetched though

Meaningful love and drama

Clean and wholesome. Her exciting mystery, dramatic plot, characters good and evil, and thorough storytelling reminds us that love is action not just emotion. And love and faith triumph even in the valleys.

Compelling Story

I couldn’t stop listening. The author’s style of writing is superb and I thoroughly enjoy it. A bit heavy at times but worth it.

Excellent

I’m so glad I didn’t stop at the first book in this series. This one was excellent! Enjoyed the characters and the storyline. The pace of the story was perfect! On to the next!
