Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Philip Alces delivers a performance that is nothing short of exceptional, perfectly capturing the nuances of Felicity’s character—her curiosity and scientific mind juxtaposed against her growing attraction to the duke. The pacing keeps listeners engaged throughout the 11 hours and 26 minutes, with moments of intense tension and light-hearted humor expertly balanced. However, some may find the science elements a bit dense at times, potentially detracting from the overall storytelling. Nonetheless, 'The Duke’s Counterfeit Wife' is a captivating audiobook that offers a unique blend of historical romance and intellectual intrigue.
