The audio narration of Romancing the Duke novel is done by Carmen Rose. It was a fantastic narration and with such great voices for all the characters, the experience was like watching or imagining a movie in your mind. Isolde Ophelia Goodnight was the daughter of a prominent author. In that capacity, she grew up listening and reading the stories of the fair maidens and brave knights. She was the one who never doubted romance that would be in her future as well. The storybooks that she goes through are offered here with limitless possibilities.
Just as she aged, Izzy crossed all of them off, one by one. Izzy afterwards had given up her yearning for romance. She would happily settle down with having a roof over her head. What fairytales were left over for some impoverished 26 years old woman who had never been kissed in her life?
Romancing the Duke won the RITA Award in 2015 in the historical romance category. Everything about this audio novel is perfect, except the end seemed to be a little rushed.
