My Inconvenient Duke

Difficult Dukes, Book 3

De: Loretta Chase

Narrado por: Kate Reading

USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this charming brother’s best friend second-chance historical romance.

Of all the dukes in all the world, why does it have to be him?

Lady Alice Ancaster needs a husband, and fast, because her reckless brother is going to get himself killed, leaving the dukedom—and her future—in their repellent cousin’s clutches.

The Duke of Blackwood has known Alice since childhood, and they’ve always had a special connection. But years ago he broke it, when he chose a riotous life with his two best friends instead of a reasonable one with her.

The trouble is, the tall, dark, sardonic rogue keeps turning up exactly when needed, and ready—though he sometimes needs a push—to play the hero, if only for as long as it takes.

Being irresistibly drawn to the Wrong Man is not convenient, but when events come to a crisis, Alice has to make a choice. The question is, can she live with it?

Moreso My Convenient Duke🤗

I really liked this trilogy of the Difficult Dukes...it had a very good fold in with the events in the first two books. One thing seemed a bit off was some dates not aligning...but now I'm ready for a combined prequel/sequel combo story which would highlight Uncle Fred and Aunt Julia as well as Cassandra's sister, the Flower 😅😂 & Morris.
I love Loretta Chase's storytelling.🤗

Good Listen

Overall the book was okay. The end dragged out and I found myself not listening. Too much time passed and too many dates listed. I like the characters in all three books. I won’t listen to it again but I would recommend listening to all three books.

So enjoyable, long wait was worth it

The author convincingly wove together many characters relationships and motivations..I had been so puzzled by Alice's character and I liked the resolution . Some beautiful setting descriptions, an interesting plot and gentle, calm narration. Will be able to enjoy listening to this story again.

The quality of the relationship between the two main characters.

The depth and intensity of the relationship between the two main characters, conveyed beautifully with humor and a remarkable openness between them is mesmerizing. Their knowledge of each other and patience with each other’s foibles makes for a delightful intimacy for the reader, a feeling of inclusion in their mental and emotional connection, an admiration for the complexity and the dance it is. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Nobody does it better than Chase and Reading…

Oh how I love Loretta Chase! I have never had a bad experience. Her gift for character, romance, setting, and history are beyond compare. And the banter! Her dialogue is so quick and dry - nobody does it better. Then when you add Kate Reading as narrator to the mix, it makes for some of the very best historical romance reading experiences. As far as I’m concerned, you can’t go wrong with a Loretta Chase story. Though I am sorry the Difficult Dukes series has come to a close, I can’t help but remain excited for what Ms. Chase cooks up next! And in the meantime, I can go back and re-read/listen to her wonderful catalogue to my heart’s content. As I always do. ❤️

the progress of the main characters relationship and their growth and care if each other as a married couple.

the narrator kate reading is my all time favorite. as for the nook. I liked it all. I wondered when the villain would make his move and just how dastardly it would be.

Wonderful story and narrator

What a pleasure to hear witty and very funny banter, made even more humorous by a gifted narrator. The hero is wonderful, both protective of and sensitive to the heroine. It's refreshing to enjoy an unusual romance, that takes the time to build from friendship to love, while the hero and heroine rescue an endearing street urchin and pursue villains. It's also unusual and enjoyable to see how the couple fares after marrying. And this story ties together beautifully with the other two wonderful stories in this series, which is a tribute to the author's skill.

My inconvenient duke

Excellent narration and always entertaining read We love Loretta Chase! Brilliantly written adore the adjectives and fun loving discord

It started out well.

Listening was tedious. I found my mind wandering. The story is decent but the plot is drawn out and wordy.

Lovely story

This story is chronologically earlier than the other two books in the Difficult Dukes series but was written after them. I thought the facts of this story integrated well with the two earlier books. Alice and Giles were well matched and understood each other. Having met them in the earlier books, it was satisfying to see how they came to their HEA.
