Notorious Nobleman Seeks

Name and title: Adam Penrose, Duke of Stratton. Affiliation: London’s elite Society of Decadent Dukes. Family history: Scandalous. Personality traits: Dark and brooding, with a thirst for revenge. Ideal romantic partner: A woman of means, with beauty and brains, willing to live with reckless abandon. Desire: Clara Cheswick, gorgeous daughter of his family’s sworn enemy.

Faint of Heart Need Not Apply

Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there’s one problem: she’s far more interested in publishing her women’s journal than getting married - especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though, with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere - along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?

Charlotte Gray’s narration works well for some characters, poorly for others in the first installment of Madeline Hunter’s Decadent Dukes Society series. The well-plotted story revolves around feuding families and a plan to end the feud with a marital alliance. Gray has a light, youthful voice, which she employs to great effect for many of the female characters, but her male characterizations do not fare as well. Adam, Duke of Stratton, is a dark, “dangerous” character, but he sounds like a moody teenager much of the time. There are many wonderful dialogue scenes, though it can be difficult to determine which character is speaking. While Gray has a pleasant, well-paced speaking voice, more vocal range is needed for this audiobook. L.C.L. � AudioFile 2017
