Summary

Married out of the schoolroom to her childhood hero, Kate had believed that life would finally hand her a happy ending - right up until her husband abandoned her for foreign shores less than an hour after their wedding. Since then she has forged a place for herself in society, and endured the cruel gossip about the state of her marriage, for even though she has been forced to face the Ton alone, she is still a Duchess.

Alexander Weatherly, the Duke of Lexborough, thought he could go through with the marriage, only to find that his child bride was too young for him to place the burdens of the Dukedom upon her. He left her in the hands of his mother as he set sail of Europe, always intending to come home one day...only to find 10 years have passed him by.

While Kate believes that she has done a good job managing the family affairs during her husband's absence, Alex is horrified to learn that it was not his man of business but his young wife who has been in control all this time. As he tries to wrest back control of his obligations from staff more loyal to his wife than to him, it is inevitable that Alex and Kate will clash on just about every issue under the sun. If they can only get past their feud long enough to see reason, they just might discover that love can be a part of their marriage, after all.

I quite enjoyed the book even though I don't like Julia Eve's presentation of the characters.

Sweet

This was very different from what I normally listen to but I really enjoyed it.
It’s a sweet second chance for an already married couple.
Alex did frustrate me at times but over all I enjoyed the change in him as he gets to know his wife.
I’m off to search for the other books in the series!

A Fun Romp Through the Regency

What a great little book! This was a nice easy listen to relax with. The narrators voice is well suited to this type of book. I loved the story and the characters. It wasn’t a nail biting graphic story but a lovely story about love and family and life lessons. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very entertaining!

This was quite a charming historical romance. I loved how Katie didn't need a resident husband for her to become such an admired member of the ton. It was really sweet the way his family and his servants adored Katie and took her side over Alex at every turn. Alex's attitude made him quite unlikeable at times especially when he treated Katie like a dim little woman. However, as he began to realise his mistakes and altered his way of thinking I liked him a lot more.
I voluntarily reviewed a gifted review copy.

Rebel

I enjoyed the narration of Julia Eve

Alexander left after his wedding to a teenaged bride because he felt she was too young at 16 to be a wife. Even though it was the right thing to do, he didn't return for 10 years.
His teenaged bride is Katie is she is now strong and a great character. Her now returning husband doesn't really know his own world any more... not to mention his own wife. He believes his title is enough to gain him respect and obedience - and that's where he's in for a big surprise.

It has a good plot and the characters are well developed and interesting.
