I enjoyed the premise and the style of this book, but a few of the dukes sexual proclivities aren't for me. Specifically the his reaction to and discussions of Patience's breasts and her production of milk. As I don't find that sexually intriguing, those scenes pulled me out of the story on the regular. I look forward to the next book moving on to another couple.
I very much enjoyed the narrator's choices for the audiobook.
