About this listen
The Duke of Rockliffe is 36 years old, head of his house, and responsible for his young sister, Nell. He is, therefore, under some pressure to choose a suitable bride. Whilst accompanying Nell to what he speedily comes to regard as the house-party from hell, he meets Adeline Kendrick - acid-tongued, no more than passably good-looking yet somehow alluring. Worse still, her relatives are quite deplorable - from a spoiled, ill-natured cousin to a sadistic, manipulative uncle. As a prospective bride, therefore, Adeline is out of the question. Until, that is, a bizarre turn of events cause the Duke to throw caution to the wind and make what his world will call a mésalliance.

Stella Riley & Alex Wyndham – A ‘Tour de Force’The second book in Stella Riley’s Rockliffe series narrated by Alex Wyndham is a true ‘Tour de Force’.
Once again Ms Riley’s characterisation is superb and the story flows along like a gentle stream with Rockliffe – brilliantly narrated by Alex Wyndham – looking for a wife but just sauntering through life with his usual languid air.
Suddenly he meets Adeline Kendrick, described as no raving beauty but very sharp and fascinating, which is something Rockliffe finds frustratingly attractive.
The story then unfolds as Rockliffe falls desperately in love with Adeline and she with him. But as usual there are challenges along the way and problems to be encountered.
And it is here where Stella Riley and Alex Wyndham score emphatically. The writing throughout is extremely stylish, the dialogue is natural, often witty and the characters are so well-drawn and so supremely narrated by Alex Wyndham that you feel you know them personally.
The book is well paced, the love story stunningly handled and when we come to the denouement and Rockcliffe’s true feelings are shown in the last chapter, we finally see him completely unravel. Everything he’s felt and thought for months comes pouring out in a torrent of emotion – and, if I have a favourite bit, it was this - handled with absolute perfection by Mr. Wyndham.
A true ‘Tour de Force’.
I believe Ms Riley’s third audible book in the Rockliffe series ‘The Player’ is coming soon and I for one just can’t wait for it to be released.

It can be read as a standalone but it would be best read in sequence to get to know all the characters.
This is the story of how Rockcliffe meets his match through a marriage of convenience and all the tribulations they have to go through.
It is one of my very favourite books and I listen to it often. Rockcliffe is still my top book boyfriend!
Highly recommended!!
Such a wonderful story
