About this listen

A woman accidentally kidnaps a duke in this fabulous Regency romp

"Erica Ridley is a delight!" —Julia Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series

Chloe Wynchester is completely forgettable—a curse that gives her the ability to blend into any crowd. When the only father she's ever known makes a dying wish for his adopted family of orphans to recover a missing painting, she's the first one her siblings turn to for stealing it back. No one expects that in doing so, she'll also abduct a handsome duke.

Lawrence Gosling, the Duke of Faircliffe, is tortured by his father's mistakes. To repair his estate's ruined reputation, he must wed a highborn heiress. Yet when he finds himself in a carriage being driven hell-for-leather down the cobblestone streets of London by a beautiful woman who refuses to heed his commands, he fears his heart is hers.

I can’t say just how much I enjoyed every moment of this book. Chloe Wynchester is endearing and her family are mad but by the end the book, I wanted to be an honorary Wynchester. The way Erica portrayed Lawrence in the beginning is this frosty Duke, but as soon as we read the story from his perspective, he won me over pretty quickly.

I loved the diversity of the Wynchester siblings, the side characters like Phillipa York and the butler Hastings are given special treatments fully well rounded characters with their own arcs.
This is my first Erica Ridley book and I am now a fully fledged fan of hers.

A witty & delicious romance
