For Love of the Duke by Christi Caldwell

While sitting in her graduate school apartment at the University of Connecticut, Christi decided to set aside her notes and pick up her laptop to try her hand at romance.

I will be looking for her narrations! I certainly hope that the next book in this series More Than a Duke is released on audible very soon and narrated by Morag Sims! I will be watching for it! Fingers crossed.USA TODAY Bestselling author CHRISTI CALDWELL blames Judith McNaught's 'Whitney, My Love!' for luring her into the world of historical romance.

Loved it! I do hope Morag Sims narrates many many more books. Everyone had their own distinct voice and she read with emotion as called for. She made a fantastic story even better with her wonderful narration. There was not as much dialogue as I normally like but there was still enough and it was great! I totally recommend this book for sure! As for the narration, one of the very best I have listened to in a long time. The story line was truly a wonderful love story and flowed very nicely. There was a couple of very nicely written sex scenes. She was strong, funny, witty and just perfect for our broken hero. I absolutely loved this story! The hero, Jasper was devastated at his loss and then comes the heroine, Katherine, she was fantastic! Loved her. Not much emotion in her reading but I can overlook that as long as the men sound like men. As to the narrator: She did an excellent job on the voices. Doubt I could go through it again with Anne. A good read, but I'm not so sure I'd read this author again because of the incredible amount of angst she puts in her books.

You can only read how much he loved Lydia, how guilty he feels about Lydia, how he misses Lydia, how beautiful Lydia was, before you’ve had enough. The story was dragged out way too long to make it a five star read. One reviewer said this, “The romance was overshadowed by the first wife,” and I couldn’t agree more. The book did have some nice sex in it but the book itself needs to have less angst. I really am tired of so much angst in books, page after page, going on and on for 300 or 400 pages. That is, until she’d had enough sense to get tired of hearing about Lydia and left him, which I don’t blame her for. Where he was so afraid and negative she was so positive and unafraid of anything when it came to them.

I did like Jasper and really liked Katherine.
