Summary

After years of playing the rogue to hide a dark family secret, the Duke of Aversley feels tainted beyond redemption and cynical beyond repair. Never does he imagine hope will come in the form of a quirky, quick-witted lady determined to win the heart of another aristocrat.

Thanks to a painfully awkward past, Lady Amelia De Vere long ago relinquished the notion she was a flower that had yet to blossom. But when her family faces financial ruin and the man she has always loved is on the verge of marrying another, she’ll try anything to transform herself to capture her childhood love and save her family—including agreeing to participate in a bet between her brother and the notorious, dangerously handsome Duke Of Aversley.

Bound by the bet, Amelia and Aversley discover unexpected understanding and passion beyond their wildest dreams, if only they can let go of their pride, put trust in each other and chance losing their hearts. This is book one in the Regency Romance series Once Upon a Rogue.

A beautiful story with a few giggles, some tears, intrigue, a dasterdly villain who gets a wholloping and a happy ever after for the duke and his duchess. Tim Campbell had a few hiccups with pronunciation which was weird as he is normally on point.

Lovely

Story was interesting, not riveting, but easy to listen to with likeable characters. Narrator was generally good, but with the weirdest take on certain words - ‘pom’ for palm, ‘poolse’ for pulse, and a variety of others.

Worth listening to

Very well written, quite touching caused my throat to tighten on different parts. Found it a bit too long though. Seemed to drag on at the end

Good book

I so enjoyed this story and will certainly look for another one . Although I do like Tim Campbell as a narrator I did find some of his pronunciations a bit weird in this story.
Saying that it didn't put me off enjoying this story and I highly recommend this book.
