Summary
Bound by duty. Torn by desire.
Contented serving as a physician in America, Dr. Harry Radcliffe never imagined he'd return to England as the Duke of Ashton. Inheriting the title upon his brother's untimely death, Harry is nothing like his cruel twin. Yet, his resemblance to the late duke makes his brother's beautiful widow wary.
Left destitute by her abusive husband, Margaret Radcliffe remains resilient and struggles to rebuild her life. Yet she can't ignore the uncanny likeness Harry bears to the man who tormented her. And even if her heart whispers that Harry is different, her mind remains cautious.
As Harry navigates the treacherous waters of society to find a bride and secure his dukedom, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to Margaret. Battling their growing feelings, their forbidden attraction risks scandal and the legitimacy of any future children.
In a world where duty and desire collide, can Harry and Margaret overcome the shadows of the past and find a love strong enough to withstand the trials ahead?

“Hoping” for more audiobooks in this series
It has been a few years since I read this book and I was looking forward to revisiting the start of the wonderful Hope clinic series as an audiobook.
I love Trisha Messmer’s writing style, her storylines are entertaining, she gives a mixture of characters with strengths and flaws and I love visiting the world she creates.
This is a first for me as I have not before listened to a novel read by two narrators.
It took me a few chapters to get into the pattern of this reading. I found the Duke’s reading a more natural style, whereas the Duchess spoke slower and more precise. At first I wasn’t sure I really liked the dual readers as I thought it a bit jarring at the change overs but once the two narrators were conversing together as the various characters in the book I was just pulled in and I enjoyed the audiobook.
The main characters voices were very good and fitted to how I would imagine them speaking and they also provided a wide range of voices for the minor characters which made it clear who was speaking throughout the whole book.
I am from the UK and at times there were different pronunciations of words to what I am used to but this didn’t distract from the story.
I’m really looking forward to listening to book two.

Wonderful characters, brilliant narration.
This was the first time I’ve heard dual narrators for a book and they were brilliant! They really brought the characters to life by changing their voices to suit the character. The story had very likeable characters in Margaret and Harry. Margaret had suffered a dreadful life with her late husband. Harry was a doctor who was living in America and is called home to become the new duke. Margaret and Harry have an almost instant attraction but there are many people against them and are determined they will not be together. This is the start of a series and I look forward to reading the next book. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
