My night with the duke.

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook that was well written, and the author brought the characters to life. Eden is a widow; her husband slept with her best friend and was killed by a jealous husband. Max is a duke looking for a wife to help raise his niece. They enjoyed a one-night encounter at a masked ball and then went their separate ways. Max does not know it was Eden who he slept with. This book was fun to listen to and I enjoyed the happy ending.

Steamy One Night Stand Romance

Widow Eden has a night with Max at a masked ball. She didn’t provide her identity, although why didn’t he wonder when they spoke a few weeks later at a ball. Max wants Eden, but he at first sees her as lover and not wife material because she’s not a virgin and is considering her sister-in-law Roslyn instead. But he reconsiders at a house party as they became closer, if only he can convince her after a terrible marriage that ended in scandal to take another chance on marriage.

I liked the British narrator with her accent, infections, and voice variations depending on the character.

They've Met Before

He thinks he is looking for a young innocent debutante. That is until he meets Eden. They have actually met before, at a masquerade, where they had a very good time. I like Eden and Maxwell. Their chemistry sizzles. He will have to work a little to convince her to marry again. This is a short enjoyable story with likable characters. I truly enjoyed Stevie Zimmerman’s narration.

Widow

This is the first book in the series, and it is off to a good start. There is drama, emotional angst, lust, and some sexy scenes. The characters are interesting, however I would have appreciated there being more in their development. Narration was good. I am looking forward to the next in the series.
