About this eBook

In the swoon-worthy finale of her Love on Holiday series, Christy Carlyle takes readers to the breathtaking coast of Ireland where a pretty, young countess’s secretary agrees to impersonate her mistress to help a duke appease his fortune-hunting family...until he falls for her instead.

“Simply delightful!” —Julia Quinn

Miss Evelyn Graves has never had a holiday. She is much too busy as the personal secretary to the Countess of Waverly. But the Duke of Ballymore Castle in Connemara, Ireland, has invited the countess to visit—and as the countess cannot travel, she has insisted Evelyn go in her stead. Except when Evie arrives, everyone mistakes her for the countess—and it’s clear the family who owns crumbling Ballymore were hoping to match the widowed countess with Alexander Pierpont, Duke of Rennick. Though Alex knows the truth of Evie’s identity, he has an unusual request. He’ll happily show her hospitality if she’ll agree to let others think she’s the countess during her visit.

There’s just one problem: as time runs out on their arrangement and Alex increasingly fears he must in fact marry an heiress to save his family’s fortunes, he finds that his heart now belongs to Miss Evie Graves…and he can’t bring himself to let her go.

“Duke Seeks Bride” by Christy Carlylye is a swoon-worthy, classic story where guy literally stumbles over gal, they watch glowworms, then they wonder if they’ll ever see each other again! If you enjoy different social class, holiday love stories, and low angst yet bursting attraction and compatibility reads, then I highly recommend this book!!!

I loved the narration to this bubbly, engrossing audiobook. Evie is smart, determined, and proud of her ability to make her own way in the world. Alex is introverted, good-hearted, and devoted to his family. With all the chemistry between them, they're a perfect match. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
