About this audiobook
Painfully shy Jane Huxley is the furthest thing from a diamond of the first water. Bookish, bespectacled, and, well, plain, she never expected to befriend a dissolute charmer like Colin Lacey, much less agree to help him retrieve a lost family heirloom. Fortunately, he is nothing like his cold, rigid older brother. Unfortunately, he is not above deception if it means winning a wager. And that puts Jane in a most precarious position.
A formidable duke will marry a plain Jane . . .
For Harrison Lacey, the Duke of Blackmore, protecting his family honor is not a choice, it is a necessity. So, when his cad of a brother humiliates the unwitting Lady Jane, Harrison must make it right, even if it means marrying the chit himself.
And a marriage of convenience will become so much more . . .
Her reputation hanging by a thread, Jane agrees to wed the arrogant Duke of Blackmore, although she's convinced it will result in frostbite. Only after lingering glances lead to devastating kisses does she begin to suspect the truth: Perhaps-just perhaps-her duke is not as cold as he appears.
Contains mature themes.

Reading romance novels came easily to Elisa Braden. She’s been doing it since she was twelve. Writing them? That took a little longer. After graduating with degrees in creative writing and history, Elisa spent entirely too many years in “real” jobs writing T-shirt copy ... and other people’s resumes ... and articles about giftware displays. But that was before she woke up and started dreaming about the very unreal job of being a romance novelist. Frankly, she figures better late than never.Elisa lives in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest, where you're constitutionally required to like the colors green and gray. Good thing she does. Other items on the "like" list include cute dogs, strong coffee, and epic movies. Of course, her favorite thing of all is hearing from readers who love her characters as much as she does.If you're one of those, get in touch on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest (pinterest.com/elisabraden), or visit www.elisabraden.com.

Reviews for The Truth About Cads and Dukes
64 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/52nd in series and narrator did MUCH better with this one than she did with yhe first one. I thoroughly enjoyed it better than her narration on the 1st book.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I didn't enjoy the first book AT ALL. So I thought that with different MCs, different plots, etc it would be different. And it has been. But there are things that still have bothered me. The hot&cold hero grew on my nerves the more things stretched out. And even though I liked the dynamic they had going on it also felt stretched out. Plus I wasn't a fan of their ridiculous jealousies.
And by the end, I was pretty tired of the whole thing. So when the Final Drama started I was sick of it and want it to finish the book already.
So, I don't think I'm meant for Elisa Braden's books. Hated the first one, didn't like this one and I'm certain I'm not going to be a fan of the next ones given that I don't like the MC. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Loved the story and characters to the most part, though the latter half became increasingly frustrating and the ending left me quite unsatisfied. We're not even going to talk about the absolutely horrible narrator. She did a decent job with the voices, but the accent made me cringe so hard and irritated me immensely. For God's sake, hire an English narrator for English characters!
