By: Stacy Reid

Length: 8 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

England, 1817. Miss Adeline Hays is out of options. Determined to escape marriage to a repugnant earl, Adeline plans to deliberately allow herself to be caught in a compromising position at a house party with the much kinder man she’d hoped to marry. Instead, Adeline accidentally enters the wrong chamber and tumbles into the bed of the mad duke.

Edmond Rochester, the duke of Wolverton, is seeking a wife to care for his two daughters. He’s looking for a young lady of sensibilities and accomplishment, someone who, most importantly, he’s not attracted to - the complete opposite of the bewitching beauty who traps him into marriage. But despite the lust he feels for his new duchess, Edmond is resolved to never allow them intimacy, refusing to ever again suffer the tormenting loss of a loved one.

Loved it!!!

Wonderful as always, loved the content, the characters and very well written, will continue the series.

A lovely story

I loved the story by Reid. The tale of self-forgiveness and opening one’s heart again to love was beautifully written.
The narration wasn’t my favorite. It often sounded stiff and unfeeling, while at other times emotive. My opinion is that Leslay does a more credible job with narrating females than men and children. It distracted from, however did not ruin the story

Good enough to read.

I have only read a few books from this author, and all though are not five star, in my opinion. There is talent. Mild typist to mild plot steamy (1-10) it’s an 8.

Sneaking into the wrong (right) man's bed

This one is a keeper! Although the H pissed me off a bit and the h could've been a little colder to her scheming-McSchemerson set up friend - it all worked out to a most deserved HEA in the end.

As Excellent As Expected

Stacy Reid does nothing in half measures, her stories are always rich with emotions, a wealth of varied shades for the characters and some spicy romance.

Beautifully written and narrated

I loved this historical...... someone said it took too long for the duke to come around but I love the medium paced sizzle. Absolutely perfect almost like a Cinderella story

a must read

loved this book
have read the book and listened to the audio version twice, so far

very nice performance

i like the outspoken woman character who always has a back up plan! the narration was great fun

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book. The characters were ok and the story entertaining. The narrator was good as well.

Trope-tastic!

“I promise I won’t be alarmed if you kiss me.”
And with this book, Stacy Reid bumped to the top of my regency romance list. First and foremost, however, know that you can get all four books in this series in the Wedded by Scandal collection.

“Now is not the time to use ‘full blown’ and ‘scandal’ in the same breadth.”
In my regency romance, I want precocious gals who win over growly guys with enough angst to make my heart squeeze … but not too much angst to overcome the sweet, the sass, and the steam.

“He kissed her and it was glorious.”
Perhaps I might have liked a tad more humor… Nope. I’m going to say this was the perfect blend of all the tropes I’d hate in contemporary romances, but love, love, love from jolly old London. There’s even some bodice ripping. 😜 Great pacing, awesome narration, and more than one naughty get-together for good value. This whole series delivers maximum feels.
