About this audiobook
A WALLFLOWER WHO DIDN'T WANT TO BE A DUCHESS . . .
An eccentric bluestocking with an affinity for hedgehogs, Eleanor Ward never had any dreams of grandeur when it came to making a good match. Perfectly content to become a spinster, she already had her cottage in the country picked out, complete with a barn for her menagerie of rescued animals. Until one night a lost hairpin and an arrogant duke ruin everything. Now she's the Duchess of Hawkridge, the last thing in the world she ever wanted to be. And her husband? Well, he's nowhere to be found.
A DUKE WHO DIDN'T WANT TO BE A HUSBAND . . .
Furious at being tricked into marrying a woman who keeps a hedgehog in her pocket, Derek couldn't get away from Eleanor fast enough after their vows were read. It's been a year since he's seen her, and he has no plans to change that anytime soon. Until his scheming cousin shows up and declares the union a sham. Now Derek has exactly one month to woo a wife he never desired and consummate a marriage he never wanted.
A MEANS TO AN END . . . OR A NEW BEGINNING?
It seems like a simple enough task, especially for a man whose romantic conquests are the stuff of legends. But nothing is simple when two stubborn hearts are involved, especially when Derek begins to see Eleanor in an entirely new light. With time ticking down, can a cynical duke convince his unconventional duchess their marriage is worth saving? This spring, only one thing is certain . . . love is definitely in the air.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very sweet and well written it went fast and will read more
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another beautiful story. I also loved the reader’s voice. I especially loved her mother. She was happy to have a duke as a son in law even when the thought of marrying the duke horrified her daughter. This was a lovely book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Enh, it was a good premise. I liked the idea of the main female character, but it was completely undeveloped. I know it’s a short story but there was nothing developed between the characters at all.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was well written but ended abruptly. I felt derrick and Elenors story could have been elaborated on. Also Elenor forgave his deception too quickly I guess in a hurry to finish the novel it had to be done this way.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nice light book , specially when you are driving not boring at all
