Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Cathy Maxwell's glittering Marrying the Duke series continues.

Twice he has been close to the altar and still no duchess. Will the third time be the charm?

A duke can't marry just anyone. His wife must be of good family, be fertile, and be young. Struggling playwright Sarah Pettijohn is absolutely the last woman Gavin Whitridge, Duke of Baynton, would ever fall in love with. She is an actress, born on the wrong side of the blanket, and always challenges his ducal authority. She never hesitates to tell him what she thinks.

However, there is something about her that stirs his blood, which makes her perfect for a bargain he has in mind: In exchange for backing her play, he wants Sarah to teach him about love.

And he, in turn, has a few things to teach her about men.

loved it

I usually find an author I love and read everything they have written ...Georgette Heyer , Katherine Ashe, Audrey Harrison etc... a new obsession has overcome me recently, I have only listened to this Narrator ,Mary Jane Wells. its like I can trust the book will be good because they have Mary Jane Wells performing it. I was not wrong, this book was excellent, I have enjoyed it immensely and recommend it to all HR lovers.

One of Cathy Maxwell's Best

Cathy always writes wonderful characters and stories that excites and warms my heart. These characters and this story will take its place as one of my favorites. Can love be satisfied with such a deep divide between the lovers? That was my question? Loved spending time with these characters!

Cathy Maxwell is brilliant

I enjoyed this easy listen. Cathy Maxwell's wit and charm are showcased in this second in this series. I find our female lead believable in her quest to have her love mean something solid and I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good actress getting her leading man!

Delightful book with great characters.

I really enjoyed this story. Both main characters were strong and well matched. The Duke was so loyal that it was inspiring. This story left me with a lot of hope and with my heart full.

The best narration. Mary Jane Wells brings the story to life. She is so dynamic and it’s really a pleasure to listen to her.

A bit of a rushed ending, but I liked it.

You can't go wrong with Mary Jane Wells reading! The ending seemed to have hurriedly progressed at least the chapters, into the final chapter, which I hated. Why can't me know more about their future together? Their wedding? Anything!

Loved it!!!

I typically do not write reviews, but this one is worth it. I loved the story, the narrator, and the characters. Once you pick it up, you'll have to force yourself to put it down to do things, like sleep. I think I found a new favorite author. (I already enjoy Mary Jane Wells.)
