Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of the beloved Windham series comes a wonderfully funny, moving romance, perfect for fans of sexy heroes, strong heroines, intelligent plots, and enchanting love stories.

They call him the Duke of Murder...

The gossips whisper that the new Duke of Murdoch is a brute, a murderer, and even worse - a Scot. They say he should never be trusted alone with a woman. But Megan Windham sees in Hamish something different, someone different.

No one was fiercer at war than Hamish MacHugh, though now the soldier faces a whole new battlefield: A London season. To make his sisters happy, he'll take on any challenge - even letting their friend Miss Windham teach him to waltz. Megan isn't the least bit intimidated by his dark reputation, but Hamish senses that she's fighting battles of her own. For her, he'll become the warrior once more, and for her, he might just lose his heart.

Way to confusing

I found it difficult to get into this story even though I persevered. There were way too many characters introduced all at the same time with so many different accents. I felt sorry for the narrator trying to keep to to Scottish, Welsh and English accents at the same time as trying to keep the narrative going which detracted from the story. I think St Just was Irish but lived in the North but didn't explain why.

Enjoyable

I have been a fan of the Windham family from the beginning I can't say I have enjoyed every book.
I do wonder how all the females get in such trouble, still a story has to have a cause.
However, the Hero and Heroine in this story make a good couple.
Each dealing with their own demons, yet managing to connect.
The story is easy to listen too and believable.
The secondary characters are well know, with a few new ones. In all bringing depth to the story and entertainment.

Disappointing

James Langston's excellent narration couldn't rescue this disappointing audiobook. I gave up half way through.
