THE SCOTTISH DUKE Duke Trilogy, Book 1

Tim Campbell's agreeable narration should satisfy a wide audience looking for a tale with both seductive scenes and classic romance. Lorna, a former maid of Blackhall Castle, seduced Duke Alex Russell at a masquerade. Months later, where the story begins, Lorna is pregnant and stubbornly decides to raise the child herself when she gives birth. After the duke hears about the Lorna's pregnancy, their relationship slowly builds. Campbell succeeds in depicting each of the characters uniquely with appropriate accents and pitch during dialogue, but listeners may find his delivery of narrative a bit stiff. Come for the explicit scenes but stay for a conventional love story reminiscent of Shakespeare's TAMING OF THE SHREW. G.M. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2016]
