Loved it!

I have not read or listened to anything by this author.
I loved the blurb so I thought I'll give a go and I am so glad that I did.
loved the narrator I thought she bought the characters out.
The book is suitable for all and I loved it!
I would highly recommend this book!
looking forward to reading/listening to the others in this series!

Beautiful story

James meets Olivia and his feelings on love rapidly change. His past is a tangle of lies that threaten what could be a permanent relationship between the two of them but with Olivia's support, warmth, understanding and love, they slowly get to the bottom of each lie and sort out his past life.
This is a beautiful story which had me smiling at times and at others, crying but it held my attention throughout and I really didn't want it to end.
Audrey Harrison has a story-telling gift and it is alway a pleasure to read one of her books.
In the audiobook version which I listened to Melanie Fraser entertains us with her interesting voices which bring the characters to life.
These two artistes make a great team and I am happy to recommend both the story and the audio of it as very entertaining and enjoyable.
I voluntarily listened to a free copy of the audiobook version and this is my unbiased review.

Satisfying

Good story with believable characters and no boring sex.. I found the narrator a bit pedestrian in places.

Another great story from Audrey Harrison

Audrey Harrison is one of my favourite Regency romance writers. She writes well researched and interesting stories that keep me turning the pages. They are romantic without any of the naughty bits and so can be safely recommended to all.
The narrator, Melanie Fraser gives another excellent and faultless performance.

The Foundling Duke had an interesting plot line although there was a lot of scandal to overcome and I'm not too sure how realistic it would have been for the son of a maid to be accepted by all of society so easily. Nevertheless I was very sympathetic to the characters and their situations. I enjoyed listening to James and Olivia verbally sparring with each other when they first met and I delighted in the development of their romance as they realised they liked one another.
I'm looking forward to reading the Foundling Lady. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the twin siblings reunited.
