About this listen

He's a powerful duke. She's his uncle's ward. They have forever been at war, until one night, one masquerade, and one kiss....

Lara Ramsay is no stranger to scandal. As the orphaned daughter of a British colonel and his beloved Indian wife, whispers follow her everywhere. Not even the protection of the formidable Duke of Wolverton, a man she can't stand, keeps the gossips at bay.

The audacious Lara has driven Tristan Wentworth, The Duke of Wolverton, to distraction since the day his uncle took her in - and he's quite certain doing so is her favorite pastime. After catching her and his younger sister at a salacious masquerade, he's had enough scandal and issues a marriage ultimatum: Find a husband within six months or one will be chosen for her.

Unfortunately, no one in the ton appeals to her. Except, perhaps, the duke himself. The battle of wills has only just begun, and when Lara kisses him, their fate is sealed.

Sometimes even the most proper duke needs to break the rules to win the heart of the woman he loves....

Contains mature themes.

Great listening experience

I really enjoyed Tristan and Lara story. The story details prejudice and racism which is reflective of the time. I also felt the story went on bit too long but thoroughly enjoyed it and felt the narration was well done.

Absolutely beautiful

This was a really good read, I couldn’t put it down. The main characters are fully fleshed out, the romance is so sweet and beautiful and the spice is spicy. A beautifully written book and I can’t wait to find out more about the Elusive Lords in the next book. It’s nice to see a POC in a historical romance.

Trigger warning: The book contains some racism against the lead but it is handled very well.

A different perspective from the usual high society romances of the period. .

A half English, half Indian lady falls for an English Duke. Bigotry at it worst, but attraction and passion abundant.

Regency romance.

Romance set in Regency England but full of modern day words & phrases. Disconcerting & incongruous. Rubbish!
