Not boring, not exciting. I really liked Miranda. The Duke of Wyldehaven was okay for the most part, sometimes he was annoying. The attraction was okay at best. There were some twists and turns that were fun, albeit a bit ridiculous and could no way happen, but this is fiction so it is expected.
As for the narration, it was okay. The narrator needs to work on the male voices a bit. Otherwise, it wasn't the worst narration I have listened too.

OUR HERO is a Duke who has an impersonator masquerading around London as him, engaging in activities that defiles his reputation with duels, seduction and fights. The puzzled man has only returned to town from his country home after 2 years of mourning the death of his wife who accidentally committed suicide when she drank a potion to be rid of their baby.
The Duke's character is pretty much a standard The story pretty much goes on about him trying to woo the heroine while he gets around to discovering the identity of the villian. When her friend leaves her in charge of her baby, she becomes a lioness out to seek the justice needed for baby James. However she doesnt expect the Duke to deny the child and obviously she thought that he was just trying to save his pride as a peer member. But somehow their lives are intertwined when she takes on the identity of a widowed Contessa, and becomes quite the famous singer.
Her character is quite solid, she's loyal, responsible and steadfast. She has quite the dignity for a woman and i think that's what i like most about her. Jul 16, Sarah rated it really liked it Shelves: I really enjoyed this book. Not just a simple tale of two lovers, but so much more. The Duke is being blamed for all sorts of bad things that an unknown villain is doing in his name in London.
To Ruin the Duke Audiobook | Debra Mullins | theranchhands.com
Miranda is trying to be the respectable woman her mother never was as an actress. It is a tale of two people who don't deny their feelings for each other, but are going through the heartbreaking experience that sometimes life doesn't let us choose our paths. The plot with the villain was sometimes predictabl I really enjoyed this book. The plot with the villain was sometimes predictable, but not so much that it wasn't thrilling.
The ending was a little abrupt on this storyline, but again, not so much that you felt robbed. It was a great story about two people who really are a victim of circumstance. Wylde truly is an honorable, devastated and devastating hero, who is very used to being a Duke. Miranda is an honorable bastard daughter who is desperately trying to do the right thing by her friend.
They both acknowledge their attraction to each other pretty early on despite no warm and fuzzies yet. It was refreshing to have such honesty after reading several books with the only obstacle being the misunderstanding or the "I don't like you" denial thing. A few really heart melting moments, a few very few passionate moments, and some great banter between all the characters made this book an enjoyable read. Not a full five stars, but definitely worth your time. Aug 15, Swee rated it really liked it Shelves: This was a 3.
What is Kobo Super Points?
I liked the feisty heroine. However, I was more ambivalent about the hero. I wasn't quite sure if he were an alpha male or otherwise. I was enjoying the book until it all dissolved into a puddle of gooey sweetness in the last quarter of the book where the protagonists, I thought, behaved in manners contrary to character. The ending also seemed far too rushed, like the author ran out of pages, and had to wrap everything up neatly i This was a 3. The ending also seemed far too rushed, like the author ran out of pages, and had to wrap everything up neatly in a minimum number of words.
Mar 22, Libby Waterford rated it really liked it. An enjoyable twisty tale of identity theft, mistaken identities, alter identities, and illicit liaisons. Miranda was an appealing modern heroine, with a sensible amount of self-preservation and determined to be self-sufficient in a world that makes it difficult to be so.
Sometimes I wondered what she saw in the hero, Wylde, who was honorable sort of but a little staid compared to the rest of the characters. Nov 25, Lori Yvette Fernandez Lopez rated it really liked it. I really wish this book had been a bit longer. I would loved to have read an epilogue for this one as the suffering these characters went through has earned them a seriously happy ending!
It was a good read, but there were some elements that were either unresolved or could have been better utilized to make it a five star book for me.
