About this listen

Aphrodite wishes to escape the marriage mart but will a second chance with the elusive Duke of Everely change her mind?

Aphrodite Du Bell is a diamond of the first water and a favourite of the queen. But her renowned loveliness didn't stop the love of her life, Evander Eagleman, from jilting her and marrying another woman four years ago.

Aphrodite has been in self-imposed exile ever since. However, when her formidable mother summons her back to London Aphrodite has no choice but to acquiesce.

Upon her return, Aphrodite learns that the newly widowed Evander is in town and, despite her best efforts, the grand society events of the season repeatedly push them together. With each encounter, Aphrodite's traitorous feelings make it perfectly clear that the Duke still holds court over her heart.

Can the couple make strides to mend past hurts, or will the true reason Evander pushed Aphrodite aside threaten their coveted future and even their lives . . . ?

Critic reviews

'Full of lush gowns, longing looks and lingering secrets, Bridgerton lovers have found their next read in Aphrodite and the Duke. J. J. McAvoy is a welcome new voice in historical romance' SARAH MACLEAN, New York Times bestselling author of A DUKE WORTH FALLING FOR

'Fantastically pacy with a lovely heroine and a great Austenian villain. Perfect for all Bridgerton fans' PHOEBE WYNNE, author of THE RUINS

Really enjoyed this one, reminded me of Bridgerton which is probably what appealed. I really needed to find out what happened to Aphrodite so was engaged until the end. Grace Gray’s voice is incredibly soothing yet strong. A great listen.

Enjoyable listen

I love how this story extends well beyond what I’ve come to consider the typical happy ending in a period drama. Aphrodite and the Duke is fast-paced, with plenty of surprises, and the excellent narration really brings the characters to life. Aphrodite (Grace Gray) in particular had perfect timing and was a pleasure to listen to!

Captivating

I have never been interested in reading period dramas so this is the first one I’ve read. I loved it, such a great story and so beautifully read, especially by Grace Gray. Such a clear voice and she really manages to bring the characters to life. I couldn’t wait to listen to the next bit. Highly recommend this great Audiobook. I hope Grace narrates more books.

Thoroughly enjoyable
