À propos de cet audio
The Duke of Rockliffe is 36 years old, head of his house, and responsible for his young sister, Nell. He is, therefore, under some pressure to choose a suitable bride. Whilst accompanying Nell to what he speedily comes to regard as the house-party from hell, he meets Adeline Kendrick - acid-tongued, no more than passably good-looking yet somehow alluring. Worse still, her relatives are quite deplorable - from a spoiled, ill-natured cousin to a sadistic, manipulative uncle. As a prospective bride, therefore, Adeline is out of the question. Until, that is, a bizarre turn of events cause the Duke to throw caution to the wind and make what his world will call a mésalliance.

Still a good story
I liked this one a lot, a little less than the first one, though. Mainly because I can't handle characters who lie and just get deeper and deeper into it without telling anyone. But anyways.
Rockcliffe is amazing. He's a fantastic character, and Alex Wyndham is basically the most perfect narrator there could ever be for him with a silky smooth voice. However, I didn't like Adeline's voice - as with the first, it seemed weak and dry. Nell's voice was better done, but I hope the next few books improve for the women's voices. Adeline herself was the character I liked the least, unfortunately. She was supposed to be strong and wild, but turned into a doormat.
The plot is good - funny, if a bit predictable. I really enjoyed the side story romances - Nell and Harry and Jack and Thea. The setting, 1776, was well-described and easy to imagine. Lots of talk about whether they should powder their hair or not (I sense a change coming ...).
I feel like my review does not do this book justice - it is really good if you like historical romance and want a good listen.
For the audiobook - the last 15 minutes or so are a bedroom scene.
