If the Duke Demands

Justine Eyre delivers a stellar performance in ‘If the Duke Demands,’ her narration imbued with a natural warmth that perfectly complements the romantic tension between Miranda and Robert. The pacing is brisk but not rushed, allowing time for the rich details of their courtship to unfold without feeling drawn out. Specific moments, like when Miranda’s family confronts the truth about their identity, are particularly well-executed, adding depth to the plot. However, a few too many historical references occasionally feel like they slow down the narrative slightly, which could be adjusted in future audiobooks. Despite this minor criticism, ‘If the Duke Demands’ remains a delightful listen that any fan of historical romance will enjoy.
