THE ROGUE Devil's Duke, Book 1

Narrator Saskia Maarleveld handles the sprawling plot and varied cast of this audiobook well. Lady Constance Read has never forgotten the passionate, shocking interlude she shared with Evan Saint-André Sterling--before he broke her heart. But now, desperately in need of a husband to help her bring a fearsome enemy to justice, Constance realizes that Evan may be the only man she can trust. Though Maarleveld's accents are occasionally inconsistent, she navigates the core relationship in this story beautifully. Her low murmur sets a sensual, intimate tone for the scenes between the headstrong Constance and the battle-hardened Evan and captures their growing emotional bond. She infuses their shared crusade with plenty of urgency, ensuring that listeners will find much to enjoy in this emotional saga. B.E.K. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2016]
