Romancing the Duke by Tessa Dare


As the daughter of a famed author, Isolde Ophelia Goodnight grew up on tales of brave knights and fair maidens. She never doubted romance would be in her future, too. The storybooks offered endless possibilities.

And as she grew older, Izzy crossed them off. One by one by one.

Ugly duckling turned swan?
Abducted by handsome highwayman?
Rescued from drudgery by charming prince?

No, no, and… Heh.

Now Izzy’s given up yearning for romance. She’ll settle for a roof over her head. What fairy tales are left over for an impoverished twenty-six year-old woman who’s never even been kissed?

This one.

YUP. On Audio! I bought it several sales ago at audible. As you know, I love my HRs on audio, but the narrator on this one is a woman I haven't experienced before. I will try not to compare her to baby mama Rosalyn Landor :D
