it was a good book...

The narrator didnt anoy me, the plot was well developed, the characters were not one deminsional...... it is worth the credit.

Fantastic, really enjoyed it

Strong likeable characters, despicable villain and believable storyline without angst and contrived misunderstandings, for me, it was a perfect romance.
Downloading the next book in the series 🌟

Loved this story.

This was great! And my favorite narrator was fabulous as always. If made into a Netflix series I would binge watch all day.

Loved this book!

This was a wonderful story with great characters. Jillian, the heroine, survived abuse from her vile husband and looked forward to becoming an independent widow after he was reported drowned. She had a
close friendship with Case, brother to our hero, Justin. Justin and Jillian’s romance wasn’t instant and I liked the fact this wasn’t Maya Banks usual erotic romance. As usual, Tim Campbell’s narration was perfectly wonderful. Thank you both for several enjoyable listening hours.

ok

not that bad, the narrator made the experience better and I would have liked more steaminess. over all it was a good story. I liked that the Mc's threw priority to the devil. to be with each other. and that was my favorite part

Hating the husband

I love books, but going to College, and working I can't. so isting to books is the next best thing. I loved the whole story, the characters, and the plot.

Duchess of My Heart

Her marriage was arranged and it was horrible. For six months she endured unimaginable pain and humiliation from his hands. He only wanted her for her dowry. So when he left on board a ship and was lost at sea she was free. But her actions within the Ton were legendary. Her escapades fodder for gossip. She caught the eye of one such person out to protect his brother from her clutches. But when he finds out the image was not the truth he is honor bound to protect her at all costs. And when evil comes for her, he must make a life decision that could cost him his family lands. I enjoyed listening to this story.

Awesome all around. Loved it..

I really enjoyed this book.

Loved Justin, Jillian, Case and Hawk. It was a great love story, not an insta-love like so many stories now-a-days. Jillian was married to a creep of a man who beat her constantly and refused to mourn him when she was told he died when his ship went down. Justin thought she was involved with his brother and was going to put a halt to that as soon as he could. And that became a hatred/love story that was just wonderful, at the same time someone was trying to kill Jillian.

There was explicit sex but no swearing.

As to the narration: Love, love, love Tim Campbell. He reads with so much emotion and voices everyone wonderfully.

A truly captivating romance

It’s not quiet as spicy as most of Maya’s stories but the story & characters drew me in from the beginning. It was filled with horrible tales and suspense, and a deep friendship for one and a true love for another. Loved the spirited older lady too. Can’t wait to hear Case & Hawks stories. At first I wasn’t sure about Tim Campbell but soon realized he was doing a great job as narrator.

good

Easy read. They didnt torture each other with the back and forth do I love him dont I? It got to the point while adding good plot points. It was beautiful that Justin was willing to give up everything for Jillian.
