A chance encounter with a tabloid playboy lands a scrappy waif a place in high society.

Fainting in the notorious nobleman’s arms is the smartest move the self-proclaimed spazz ever made. Now her picture decorates every gossip rag in Britain, and the public wants to know who the Devil Duke’s new squeeze is.

Offered a sizable sum, Izzy De Luca travels to England where she will pose as the Duke of Devoy’s new bride. It seems the rake’s reputation needs some rehabilitation, and the fresh-faced orphan is just the girl to brighten his tarnished image.

Izzy enters a lavish world of wealth and privilege, but soon realizes her uptight employer is no laid-back lady charmer. Sparks fly between the two when the spirited American lets the impossibly handsome blue blood know she won’t be gentrified without a fight.

As they play out the carefully constructed charade, the jaded Duke finds himself drawn to Izzy’s rare brand of charm, and what begins as a collision of worlds ends in a union of love.

This may be a modern day Cinderella story, but this feisty commoner is no simpering sweetheart. She means to give our titled hero a run for his millions.

I really enjoyed this story , Trevor the demon duke is a misunderstood guy , he loves women sure but he's not the 'demon' he's made out to be , and naive little Izzy fainting in his arms isn't what he wanted to happen , now people want to know who is the girl he's locked in an intimate embrace with

I struggled to connect with Izzy at first , she acts a lot younger than her 20 years and is quite immature but it does add a certain innocence to the story and the narration of the characters was pretty spot on
looking forward to listening to the next book in the series

what a devil!

What a hilarious book, Isobel's sassy take no prisoners attitude was just brilliant, and had me laughing out loud as she drove her duke to distraction, and Virginia Ferguson's voice really brought the book to life..

hilarious

Book 1 in the series. Its a Royal story but in modern times , a modern fairytale, where a commoner finds her prince .
Tessa throws in a few twists and turns and a story with true love , even though the Hero and Heroine didn’t know they were meant to be together

Hero is Trevor. Heroine is Izzy .
You know it’s true love when Izzy turns Trevor’s life around . Trevor was just roaming in life with no purpose until he meets Izzy .
Trevor was a ladies man always changing Ladies. He got bored with them .
Trevor and Izzy became the Darlings of Britain and Izzy in the spotlight when she fainted and Trevor the Duke saved her .
Trevor asked her to change his reputation . First his image with the ladies , he’s Divorced with a child .

Virginia performance was good. Her British accent was perfect for the story . Virginia voice and accent was strong and smooth

Let this Duke story grab you

The Devil Duke by Tessa Bowen is a modern-day Cinderella romance about Izzy DeLuca a young American girl who faints into the arms of The Devil Duke when he comes into the shop she is working at to buy a new shirt. Paparazzi take numerous photographs of her in his arms which add fuel to his notorious reputation but by some fluke, the man in the street think she's wonderful and are happy he has fallen in love with a commoner. A short time later Izzy is offered a sizable sum to travel to England and marry the Duke to help him redeem his reputation.

The Duke - Trevor - is, at the start of the story, very unlikeable stuffy and pompous. Whereas Izzy is wild, she has short dark hair with a purple streak, wears outlandish clothes and refuses to comply with his demands. Never the less they each decide that they will go through with this marriage. The Duke's elderly secretary Sir Archibald and the Duke's 13-year-old daughter are both lovely characters who are important to the story.

As the story progresses feelings become involved on both sides but the Duke seems to think that he can have his cake and eat it too as he has his 'friend' the Baroness almost always at his estate, how is that going to work? When Izzy decided enough is enough and leaves, Trevor has to come to terms with the fact that he will need to really change if he wants to win her back. By the end of the book Izzy and Trevor had totally won me over and what started out as a business arrangement turned into so much more.

The story is narrated by Virginia Ferguson who did a wonderful job narrating the different voices for all the characters. However, the voice she used for Izzy who is 20 sometimes sounded a little young. The Duke's voice I think was perfect, so pompous sometimes and charming at others just like the man himself.

This is the first book of Tessa Bowen's that I have listened to but I plan to listen to the next book in this series.

I received this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

i have mixed feelings about this book. The story plot was ok with plenty of laugh out moments, but the reason for my low star rating is i found it offending at times. The way Izzy spoke using variations of the word spazz and pervert. It made it hard to listen too at times struggled to finish.

certain phrasing should not be used
