Reformed evil stepsister Drewsmina Trelayne has learned a lot from her wicked ways and has vowed to help future debutantes do the same. When Ian Clayback, the reclusive Duke of Lachlan, seeks her services for his twin nieces, Drew suddenly has her hands full. So distracted is she by the young ladies that her feelings for the duke take her quite by surprise, resulting in a compromising moment of passion that becomes a hasty engagement when they are discovered. Can they turn their ill-advised assignation into a lifetime of love, or will secrecy and scandal halt their happy ending before it begins? In this third installment of the “Awakened by a Kiss” series, Michaels (The Earl Next Door) continues her playful twists on classic fairy tales with a Cinderella spin. The well-crafted dialogue is amusing, and the love scenes are alluring. Fans of the series will recognize narrator Morag Sims’s lyrical lilt, while newcomers will be drawn in by her delightful delivery.
VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking flawed, but likable, characters finding fairy tale romance, with a side of scandal and sensuality. Recommended for fans of Eloisa James, Grace Burrowes, and Sabrina Jeffries.
