If the Duke Demands

by Anna Harrington Narrated by Justine Eyre

Overview

Fall in love with New York Times bestselling author Grace Burrowes's "favorite kind of historical" where a case of mistaken identity leads to an unexpected love between a duke and debutante.


Miranda Hodgkins has only ever wanted one thing: to marry Robert Carlisle. And she simply can't wait a moment longer. During the Carlisle family masquerade ball, Miranda boldly sneaks into his bedchamber with seduction on her mind. Soon she's swept into rock-hard arms for the most breathtaking kiss of her life. But when the masks come off, she's horrified to find herself face-to-face with Sebastian, the Duke of Trent-Robert's formidable older brother.

Shocked to find Miranda in his bed, Sebastian quickly offers her a deal to avoid scandal: He'll help her win his brother's heart if she'll find him the perfect wife. But what begins as a simple negotiation soon spirals out of control. For the longer this reformed rake tries to make a match for Miranda, the more he wants to keep her all to himself.

MAY 2017 - AudioFile

Narrator Justine Eyre is the perfect fit for this Regency romance, the first Capturing the Carlisles novel by the author of The Secret Life of Scoundrels series. Her voice is textured and full of emotion, and her British accent draws the listener into the story. Miranda Hodgkins has her sights set on Robert Carlisle, but her failed plans at seduction lead her to share a kiss with the older Carlisle brother, Sebastian, the Duke of Trent. Eyre varies her narration as the story moves from passionate romance to humor and scheming. She gives each character a unique voice—from the determined-sounding Miranda to the deeper, more forceful tone of Sebastian. Listeners will eagerly await the next installment in this new trilogy.
