About this audiobook

A heartwarming, second chances, reunion romance from a New York Times bestselling author:

Due to the terms of an estranged relative's will, the Duke of Silkridge must revisit the cold, unforgiving mountains where he lost everything he once loved. As soon as he restores his family legacy, he'll return to London where he belongs. He definitely won't rekindle the forbidden spark crackling between him and the irresistible spitfire he'd left behind...

Noelle Pratchett is immune to charming scoundrels like the arrogant duke. He stole her heart, stole a kiss, and then stole away one night never to return. Now he's back—and they both know he won't stay. But how can she maintain her icy shields when every heated glance melts her to her core?

The Twelve Dukes of Christmas is a laugh-out-loud historical romance series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. After all, nothing heats up a winter night quite like finding oneself in the arms of a duke!

This was a cute Regency second chance romance. The book is well written with lovely descriptive text. It’s a relatively short read that mixes the hero and heroine’s past traumas with considerable silliness, including frequent references to classic holiday literature and songs. Some of the dialog is quite clever, and the romance between our main characters is sweet and occasionally steamy. It might be just what you need to put you in the holiday spirit. Rosie Ackerman did a fine job with narration. Her pacing is good, and I enjoyed her character voices. I thought she did well bringing out the humor of the story. I enjoyed the audiobook, but you might want to listen to a sample to make sure her accent works for you. Note that there is one explicit scene of premarital sex if such things bother you. Although I purchased the ebook, I was provided a free review copy of the audiobook through NetGalley. I volunteered to provide an honest review.
