glo68 's review for:

3.0

A entertaining book, somewhat conventional and a tad too emphatic in its tones for my liking. But Eva Devon’s heroes are always the best! Gorgeous, noble men to cherish and to wed! And Rafe was no exception, even if I found him a little too naïve and too sure of his standing in the world as a duke. I liked the duke’s mother and grandmother, but I hated their excessive focus on duty and the fact that they pushed Rafe too much, even blackmailing him to wed.
The heroine seemed bold and strong at the beginning, but in my opinion she waited too long to tell the truth, even knowing that Rafe loved her. The villain was a tad over the top for my liking, but I liked the plot twist at the end. In general, I found this Cinderella version quite intriguing.
The narrator is good, especially when doing male characters, but her rendition of the heroine voice is sometimes grating, a “silly girl” type of voice, if you get my meaning. I would have preferred she toned down her reading every now and then.
Thanks to Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for the complimentary copy of the audiobook.
