All the Duke I Need

Desperately Seeking Duke

By: Caroline Linden

Narrated by: Beverley A. Crick

The delightful search for the true Carlyle heir continues in this next book in the sexy Desperately Seeking Duke series from USA Today Bestselling Author Caroline Linden

She’s a duchess in all but name

Philippa Kirkpatrick has been raised at Carlyle Castle by her doting guardian, the Duchess of Carlyle. Preoccupied with the succession of the dukedom and the duke’s health, the duchess has left the estate in Philippa’s hands—and Philippa is determined not to let her down.

He's not a duke at all . . .

The arrival of a new estate steward should be a relief, but instead it threatens to upend everything. William Montclair is handsome, brash, and scandalously bold. The horrified duchess wants to sack him on sight. Philippa is just as shocked . . . but also, somehow, charmed.

But could he be her hero?

Carlyle cannot be her home forever, but Philippa is determined to leave it in good hands. She means to teach Will how to run the estate properly and love Carlyle as she does. The more time she spends with Will, though, the more she likes him . . . trusts him . . . even loves him. Unfortunately, she’s also more and more certain that Will is keeping secrets that could break her heart.

Love, heartbreak, regret and redemption all in one story

Loved this books as much as the first two. The story teller is fantastic. The love story which isn't just romantic but also a tell of a mother's love as well is beautiful.
I'm off to the last epilogue book. However, I'm hoping the two side stories can also be found on Audible.

Loose ending.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. All three books are well written. I especially enjoyed this one. However, the ending was just abrupt and it leaves one wanting for more. Therefore, I hope Ms. Linden has more to say regarding this family.


Aside from a rather abrupt dissatisfying ending, the book was good and worth the time spent listening to it.

Confuse at the beginning but you needed up winning me over - another great love story

There’d better be more

This can’t be the end of the story. So when is book #4 being released? I really hope there is more.

Creative approach gives this love story a fresh focus

Phillipa and Will aren't your typical couple. Her mother is from India, and his family background is based on a huge secret. Loved the surprise ending. The audibook narrator, Beverley A. Crick, is one of my favorites, and perfectly nails the various accents.

No need for long details...

BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL love story! GET IT! Shows there is more to life than riches...love, TRUE LOVE! And what a fabulous ending! The last chapters are so rich & so full of love, & being human...scared, fragile, after being so strong for so very long-alone! Great in every way! Truly touched my heart!

Good Story- great narrator

I enjoyed this story. The development of friendship and romance without the normal angst was refreshing. But what made this book was the narrator. She is amazing with accents and a nice voice. I have listened to all three in this series. Usually, a female reading the male voice annoys me, but she did such a good job that I didn't mind. From the French American accent in this story to the subtle difference between London and rural accents, she has a real gift. I wasn't sure about the Scottish in the 3rd book, but again she was amazing.

Fabulous storyline

Didn’t think I’d be interested in this story but don’t be fooled. It was an amazing story with lots of surprises. Highly recommend

The reader and the story line was most unexpected

The story line was unique and most unexpected. I was thinking he was the duke.

Great Series

I enjoyed this series. I especially enjoyed how the first and second stories build and laid the foundation for the third story. All stories are very interesting, and can be a stand alone listen. However I would guess that either story will entice you to want to know what happens next. If you want a good series this one is memorable.The third story was exceptional. I haven't listened to the epilogue yet, but intend to.
