I like a good novella in audio. Short and fast! Perfect. They really should do more novellas in audio format.

Lilah's reputation and career is gone, and now she is taking photos of sheep. Then comes one hot angry shepard. They clash (he thinks one thing, she thinks something else.) They meet again. They fancy each other, and yes this is a novella. Wham bam thank you mam.

There is some drama, since he does not tell her he is a Duke, cos of his past. And then her catches up

And then they live happily ever after, awww.

Cute, fun and short. Perfect in audio.

A good voice. Not that many characters to deal with in the end.

I loved this novella so hard. Read it in Naughty Brits from my library and then bought it so o could revisit it whenever I wanted.

I absolutely loved Max. I mean, who wouldn’t? And the identity thing is one of my favorite tropes. Obviously it’s going to cause problems but done right, it’s a thing of beauty. I did think the way Lilah runs off more than once is not great. Like, she could have maybe had a longer conversation instead, at least the second time?

I loved this story despite its faults, just like I love Max and Lilah.

I'm inducting a new novella to my annual re-reads list. A Duke Worth Falling For is an exquisitely wrought Fall/Autumn novella that captures the crisp air of the season along with the "we should enjoy every second of this time because soon it will be over" nature that imbues Octobers (at least for me). So achingly romantic, as photographer Lilah Rose stumbled over a sheep into the path of supposed English farmer Max who is actually the reclusive Duke Rupert Maximillian etc.

Max in his knits, his boots, collecting fresh eggs and cheese for your breakfast after serving you up a platter of decadent orgasms, damn, what's not to love. Also the scene where Max serves Lilah some loving at the art opening, worshipping her bare breasts under her tuxedo jacket, DAYUM.

A perfectly paced novella, and I adore it so much.

Comfy, sweet, and hot - this was a wonderful little morsel of a contemporary!

Primera vez que leo a la autora en contemporánea y, tengo que admitir, que se le da tan bien como la histórica.
