About this audiobook
Christy Carlyle dazzles with the first romance in her enchanting Love on Holiday series.
Will Hart, the Duke of Ashmore, is everything his father was not: scrupulously honest, forbidding, and apparently joyless. As a duke, he’s a catch, but as a grumpy stick-in-the mud, no lady knows quite how to catch his eye. When his sisters concoct a plan for him to visit a run-down family property in Cornwall, he reluctantly agrees, hoping it will be a chance for him to rediscover the carefree man he once was.
Madeline Ravenwood believes she can do anything she puts her mind to, including running the gardening business she inherited from her father and being a founding member of the Royal Visit Committee. Hard at work preparing for Princess Beatrice’s visit to judge their annual flower show, the appearance of a stern, handsome duke is a distraction Maddie doesn’t need.
Tasked by the committee to convince the duke to repair his ramshackle manor house in time for the royal visit, he agrees, if she will join him as he explores Cornwall. Spending their days, and nights, together, Will’s love for Maddie becomes too strong to ignore. But Maddie knows how different their worlds are and when the burdens of his title reappear, can Will convince her that she’s the woman he’s been waiting for?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5William, Duke of Ashmore, rebels against the profligate example of his late father by displaying an upright moral character and scrupulous personal habits. On a brief visit to an estate that hosted his father's bacchanals, he meets garden designer Madeline. She's desperate for him to renovate the neglected property before Princess Beatrice visits the town. As the two work together, an inconvenient attraction develops between them. Can these two opposites make a match despite their different backgrounds?
This is a fun, innovative story with strong leads and interesting side characters. Will has definite opinions, but he's not too rigid to listen to other people. I love the way he blooms under Madeline's influence, and how she learns to evaluate what really matters to her.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
