Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I was immediately drawn into 'The Duke She Never Meant to Love' by its engaging premise and Virtual Voice's excellent narration. The pacing is spot on, balancing tension and romance perfectly. I loved how Whitmore peels back the layers of both Isolde and the duke, revealing their vulnerabilities and strengths. The only critique I have is that the secondary characters could have been more fully developed. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise fantastic listen. If you're a fan of witty banter, slow-burn romance, and a dash of scandal, this audiobook is a must-listen.
