About this listen

Julia Bishop has led a very sheltered life. Protected by her family from those who might ridicule her for her secrets, she stays hidden away in the country. But she longs for more, if only for an evening. To kiss a rake in full view of the stable boy. Unchaperoned picnics. Romance. But she knows she'll never experience any of those things.

That is, until a handsome duke with a mysterious past of his own arrives....

Duke Jasper DeVere left London to grieve his grandfather's death privately, away from the prying eyes and gossips of the ton. Seeking solitude at a friend's country manor, he's surprised he finds himself drawn to the company of the shy beauty determined to present the epitome of proper behavior.

That is, until the mysterious woman makes an indecent proposal....

Julia can't believe what she's suggested to the duke. Nor that he agrees a distraction is what they both need. But what will happen when Jasper must return to his duties and leave Julia behind? Will the memories of their time together be enough for a lifetime of solitude for either of them?

Because Julia can never leave her country haven, and a duke can never stay....

Contains mature themes.

Fun, happy romance

Easy listening and delightful story. I recommend it for adults. The love scenes are a tooo steamy for under aged listeners.

Romance and the challenges that relationships bring…

Great series of two sisters, each with different challenges; but very independent characters…. I’m looking forward to listening to more of this author stories and the narrator. Thank you!

Very entertaining and funny

The story was funny and romantic. I did not stopped reading until I finished it. It has been one of the stories that I have enjoyed the most in the last year.

Super irritating!

The heroine, Julia‘s voice is so whiny and irritating it makes for a very difficult listen. The story barely hangs by a thread and is often repetitive and solo steaks that a person easily becomes bored. I definitely would not waste the time it takes to download this book

Good but

The story was ok. I wasn't too fond of Jasper from book one. it kinda sickened that he was so proud of hosting and participating in orgies. I also could not warm up to Julia. At times I found her to be petulant, self-centered and rude. Far too rude than the situations called for. There love story was kind of sweet. Not necessarily hot though because it always felt like she was trying to be something she is not. I never came to care for her. His character prior to this story was WAAAY to depraved to find Julia his sexual match. I never got the part where he could recognize in her his own appetites. It was just weird. The ending was imaginative but so far from reality. The narration was good.

So much whining

The first book in the series was enjoyable and was a nice listen but, thus one was really difficult to listen to. It felt like the entire story was Julia whining, the story would have moved along better in fewer chapters.
