Summary
Miss Minerva Lane is a quiet, bespectacled wallflower, and she wants to keep it that way. After all, the last time she was the center of attention, it ended badly - so badly that she changed her name to escape her scandalous past.
Wallflowers may not be the prettiest of blooms, but at least they don't get trampled. So when a handsome duke comes to town, the last thing she wants is his attention.
But that is precisely what she gets.
Because Robert Blaisdell, the Duke of Clermont, is not fooled. When Minnie figures out what he's up to, he realizes there is more to her than her spectacles and her quiet ways. And he's determined to lay her every secret bare before she can discover his. But this time, one shy Miss may prove to be more than his match...
The Duchess War is the first full-length book in the Brothers Sinister series. It is preceded by The Governess Affair, a prequel novella.

Very enjoyable.
First time listen to a book by this author. Good story. Of course the narrator made it even better. Lots of humour in places. If the other books by this author are read by Landor will certainly be listening.

Rosalind Landor is always worth a listen
What did you like most about The Duchess War?
That the story was just a bit different from the usual. Imperfections to overcome, battering between friends that seemed real.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Duchess War?
The epilogue where a hardened charactared showed some softness.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The train scene. Very funny indeed.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The scene on the bench before the prison. Believable, even though it was unbelievable.
Any additional comments?
Not quite as predictable as the usual story lines, I really enjoyed the book.

Hot historical romance with humour
Highly enjoyable story with engaging characters - I was not prepared for one to say to another earnestly"You have magnificent tits"! Spat my drink out laughing!

Charming
My first book by this author, and I can see why she’s popular. The characters are charming, the story is pretty intriguing, and the love story is convincing. I liked that the duke was aware of his privilege and trying to change the system. I also appreciated that he was trying to do good despite his horrible upbringing.

Enjoyable
I liked it and the performance was very well done. I had some issues, though. On several occasions I was sure their behavior or opinions were 21st century.

Brilliant
What about Rosalyn Landor’s performance did you like?
While you listen to Rosalyn Landor voicing a male characters you forget that she is a female. All her characters voices are different and perfectly appropriate.
Any additional comments?
I do listen to quite a few books in this style but this is by far the best. The characters are not generic, the marital relations are more realistic and the story line is compelling. I fell head over heals in love with the characters.

Love Rosalyn Landor's reading
Courtney Milan's stories are highly satisfying and I love Rosalyn Landor's readings. If anything I thought the story was a little bit long and drawn out, and the pacing might have been better if the length had been the equivalent of ~8 hours instead of 11. The shorter novellas written by Milan feel like they have slightly better pacing overall. However, I can hardly complain that I have several extra hours of listening time! <3
