    About this audiobook

    A stunning debut for author Evie Dunmore and her Oxford suffragists in which a fiercely independent vicar's daughter takes on a powerful duke in a fiery love story that threatens to upend the British social order.

    England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for.

    Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle. He is looking for a wife of equal standing to secure the legacy he has worked so hard to rebuild, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess. But he wouldn't be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn't claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring...or could he?

    Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke....

      The story was very entertaining, with many twists, to keep you interested. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, was I felt there was no reason for detailed descriptions of sex, it served no purpose to the story.

      Absolutely delightful romance! Just the right amount of tension, sweetness and steam. Looking forward to more of these women getting their own HEA.

      This was a very average romance for me, nothing new or special. I get quite bored when the main plot is simply about the couple equivocating about getting together. Would probably be a better experience to zip through on the page rather than belaboring it via audio.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book and it was very well written. I can’t believe it’s the author’s first novel and I look forward to reading future writings by her.
