Each character has a distinct voice that is consistent throughout, and she performs both male and female characters well. Even the secondary characters are engaging. The plot is tight, the prose effortlessly correct, the sex scenes are well done, and the characters are fully fleshed out and likable. Over the course of a few days they find themselves falling in lust - and maybe even love. What follows is a road trip kind of story, filled with hilarious situations and funny dialogue. When he catches Olympia trying to make her escape he goes after her. The Duke of Ripley, one of Ashmont’s best friends, had been charged by the groom to make sure the wedding goes off without a hitch. Olympia, on the other hand, is climbing out the window in her wedding finery. Society is astonished and Olympia’s family is ecstatic. Setting: Various sites, England June 1833 Genre: Romance Lady Olympia Hightower, a 26 year old spinster (known in the Beau Monde as the most boring debutant), finds herself inexplicably engaged to the Duke of Ashmont (AKA His Grace with the Angel Face). Now I want to listen it again! I adored it, will listen to it often, and am only sad that I have to wait months for volume two in this new series. Chase is an auto buy for me, I've had this on pre-order for months and listened to it immediately.

There are also two other dukes who figure large here and I suppose will get their own stories soon, but not soon enough for me! If you like historical romance, if you like sexy romance, if you like funny romance, this is up your alley. There's a very smart woman, a duke who is more than a bit reckless, a large dog, a duel, an aunt with a sharp tongue and a sharper eye, and laughs galore. Rock on, Ladies! This is yet another smart, funny, sexy-as-hell romance from Chase, at least as good as everything else she's ever written, if not better. Chase's words and Reading's voice equal perfection in my opinion. Together they create a listening experience that defies gravity. I've said it before.Chase and Reading together have a special alchemy that borders on the magical. Reading's incredible performance elevates this delightful tale to the platinum standard, as usual. Once again, Chase knocks it out of the park. Another gem from Loretta Chase and Kate Reading
