About this listen
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.

In a town that thrives on gossip, Jennie’s fall from grace has shamed her mother, set the town buzzing, and caused old, jealous enemies to whisper in delight.

Enjoyable
Book 4 in this series and in my opinion, the most enjoyable. It has a good plot and the characters are well developed and interesting. These are stand alones but each book does have characters from the previous. For the most part, the narrative was good, I did have trouble with understanding occasional words/meaning. There was some mild cussing in it of which I wasn't expecting, that was a downer for me. I've determined Regancy isn't for me, but I am glad I finished out the series.
I received this for free and am leaving an unbiased review.

A Duchess of Value!
In this story you will find a Duchess who from the tender age of about 16 had to develop a very strong personality because her husband of less than an hour up and left her to go overseas and for 10 years she has had to run his household, make a place for herself in society and face the gossipers about her marriage on her own.
He returns and doesn't realise that it was his wife who ran his household so successfully for all those years and of course his decisions now are hardly ever the correct ones, which is very amusing.
After a while he finds that he cares for her and this blossoms into a love.
There are many lovely scenes where it becomes clear to him that in her he has an ideal wife and he has to work hard to woo her.
It was a really interesting, fun and entertaining story which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The narrator, Julia Eve, did a splendid job with her many 'voices' and this made the book come to life for me.
I requested and listened to the audiobook version and my voluntary review above is unbiased.

5 star plus loved it
I found this to be humorous, fun, cute, I laughed a few times, shook my head and watched Kate play her games with Alex, lord that man just could not keep putting his food in his mouth. Alex’s brother is a mess and I grew to love him the most, I think I laughed the hardest at him. This was true a delightful listen that I will be listening to again and again.
The narrator did an outstanding job from her true emotions to her character voices. I always knew who was talking and how they were feeling, it really showed in her voice. Her different character voices were wonderful, she really bought the story to life. There were no volume changes, no background noise just a wonderfully delightful and very enjoyable audio that I got lost in. Her character voice were powerful, her tones right on the money. Each character voice was a delight, her male voices were just as good as her female ones. It was a true pleasure to listen to this narrator. She has a voice you could listen to all day.
I thought the author did a great job pulling the listener in, giving a delightful story that took you way not wanting it to end. Her characters show strength, power, passion and have become to feel like part of my family. The women stand up for their selves not backing down but also showing true passion. Her men are hard but kind, true gentleman. The romance is sweet, daring, filled with fun, thrilling, a little danger and so much passion. I loved the plot and the characters, I doubt you can listen to this and not laugh. I adore the humor and how Kate gets her own on a few pranks to Alex, it was a delight to watch him put it all together and realize what a behind he had been. The author gives you a delightful story with the narrator giving it a home run with her talent. I just love this, it is a 5 plus listen,
I truly enjoyed this from start to finish. I can’t wait to start the other ones in this series. I totally enjoyed this authors writing very much, it is one that I will listen to again.

Kate Triumphs!
Kate, Duchess of Lexborough, married young, and her husband promptly left for a decade on an archaeological dig. Soon after her husband Alex’s father died, Kate takes up the reigns of running the household and of running the estate. After ten years, Alex her husband, Duke of Lexborough suddenly reappears and comes home to a wife, sister, and brother that he really doesn’t know. He certainly isn’t aware that his wife has been running the show, and she is the toast of the Ton while he has been gone. Because of his absence for so many years, Alex is clueless, he has been gone and now tries to take on his role of Duke, with a lot to learn – as in which Duchess was really in charge while he was gone, his mother or his wife.
In this book Kate is the shining star. I absolutely loved how Kate was so loyal to Alex’s family; she always did what was she thought was right and supported them. I could really relate to Kate’s character, as so many times we just try to do our best for those we love, even if those around us do not appreciate us – did someone say Helena? Her relationship with Alex’s brother Arthur was very sweet. Eugenia was truly terrible, but I wonder if Elizabeth will bring her back and redeem her in her new Putney Brothers series?
Elizabeth Bramwell is an amazing storyteller. I would love to live in the supportive world of characters that Elizabeth Bramwell has created in this Regency Romp series. Her dialogue always sparkles. I especially loved the scenes where Kate replaced the candles with pig tallow candles and the shooting competition.
I admit that at one point toward the end, I cried because of the triumph of Kate. I felt a real appreciation for where she came from and who she became --- against great odds. I give this a five star rating. I have read the book, I also listened to the audiobook. Julia Eve is a talented voice, and I loved her voice when Arthur became bosky -- such fun!.

Fun romp
This is a romp. By my definition a romp should not be taken too seriously. It is supposed to be fun. And perhaps a little silly like an old screwball comedy film. Is the Duke an idiot? Yes. Is his condescending attitude toward his wife annoying? Yes. Did I want to slap him up side the head for being so stupid? Yes, at least as much as his wife did. But this is a romp. We are supposed to dislike his overbearing obnoxious behavior. He is written to be disliked. So, don't take it too seriously. Just have fun with it. I was rather hoping for a bigger blow up when he finally discovers his mistaken assumptions but I was glad that it was his wife that finally showed him. And while I can see why things had to play out as they did, I'd rather hoped that the Duchess would be the one to resolve her brother-in-law's problems with a great set-down since that chit was well deserving of it. But perhaps it is best to allow people to resolve their own problems.
I'm thinking this story could have been the basis for an old screwball movie. I'm thinking through the book as a movie and it totally works. Who would you cast in the main roles?
I like this narrator over all though the Duchess was kind of nasally. It worked in the other books but it was harder to have her not sound as "pretty" when she is the lead character. Still I have enjoyed the narrator through the entire series.
Sex: no
Language: yes, mostly mild. some Deity
Violence: no

A well paced and fun tale
This is my first book in the Regency Romps Series and I was a little worried I had purchased an erotica romance. I was very grateful this was a clean read that masterfully portrayed the ups and downs of a romance journey that started off very negatively followed by a rocky and empty 10 years. The redemption journey that follows is satisfying and fun.
I have to say Julia Eve's narration and the novel's overall style for me took a little time to warm up to but persevering was rewarded and I have now purchased 4 more books in the series. The side characters were presented in an engaging and detailed fashion in 'The Rebel Wife' and I am looking forward to reading all their individual stories. If this book is any indication it will be a rewarding and unique but light ride. Exactly the escape I was looking for this week.

It’s becoming one of my favorite series
Kate and Alex have been married for more than a decade,however, they have never spent a minute in the same room. Alex ran away an hour after he said I do. Kate had to brave the Ton all on her own and run a Dukedom.
Alex comes back excepting the girl he married but finds a woman in her place.
This story is a sweet tale of falling in love and getting that second chance. Both of them had to learn about the other through new eyes.
I laughed a lot through this book. The series is becoming one of my faves. It’s so sweet and light and just helps you to escape the world your in.
