About this listen

Amelia Willoughby has been engaged to the Duke of Wyndham for as long as she can remember. Literally. A mere six months old when the contracts were signed, she has spent the rest of her life waiting. And waiting. And waiting . . . for Thomas Cavendish, the oh-so-lofty duke, to finally get around to marrying her. But as she watches him from afar, she has a sneaking suspicion that he never thinks about her at all . . .

It's true. He doesn't. Thomas rather likes having a fiancée—all the better to keep the husband-hunters at bay—and he does intend to marry her . . . eventually. But just when he begins to realize that his bride might be something more than convenient, Thomas's world is rocked by the arrival of his long-lost cousin, who may or may not be the true Duke of Wyndham. And if Thomas is not the duke, then he's not engaged to Amelia. Which is the cruelest joke of all, because this arrogant and illustrious duke has made the mistake of falling in love . . . with his own fiancée!

I loved the intriguing storyline, winding in and out of the different lives.
I felt the author wrote so beautifully the lives of the different characters in this story. Rosalyn Landor really brings these stories to life for me, and makes the characters so interesting, that I want more.

Superb

The 2nd of two Duke of Wyndham books. I’ve seen comments that it merely repeated the first book. I disagree. Although there is obviously going to be an overlap and if you’ve read the first book you already know the overall plot. Events still flow the same way but this time it’s Amelia and Thomas who have the main stage rather than Grace, Jack and Grandma Cavendish. I really enjoyed the new focus and felt that I’d gained from this second book.

One can take a cynical approach and say that this book merely boosts sales and is a business ploy. Undoubtedly fans of Julia Quinn will buy but I imagine she must have enjoyed writing this book and hearing the story from new voices. I liked it

After reading reviews for this book, I wasn't sure if it would be any good. I'm so glad I listened to it. it does have some repetitions from the first in the series, but it was very well done and you wanted to see how the story panned out from a different perspective. I really enjoyed it. Rosalind Landor is amazing. She brings the characters to life and adds to the story. really enjoyed this one.

loved it!

A disappointing read - while Amelia and Thomas are endearing characters, the storyline is weak and painfully lacking in depth. The narrator is irritating which sucks the life out of the story. Not recommended.

Sympathetic characters but eak story

Book 2 has lots of the same storyline as book 1.
I finished listening but it was so much like reading the same book twice.

Why is it so like book 1
