How (Not) to Marry a Duke

Written by Felicia Kingsley

Narrated by Madeleine Leslay

Can romance and riches ever work out?

One minute, Jemma Pears is a struggling theatrical make-up artist in London. The next, she's been left a vast fortune by her estranged grandmother. However, there's a catch: she must marry a man with a title to inherit.

Jemma thinks this is truly impossible: she's a romantic, searching for true love, not just a convenient marriage... and besides, where would she even find a titled guy?

Enter Ashford, the new Duke of Burlingham. His legacy: massive debts that he must pay back immediately or risk the bank seizing his assets. Or worse: his mother's wrath!

When their lawyer hears of their situations, a secret match is made despite their mutual hatred of each other: by marrying Ashford, Jemma can inherit and Ashford can pay back his debts immediately. Problem solved!

That is until their marriage is leaked to the press and everyone finds out... Now they have to play out the charade for at least a year or risk going to jail for fraud!

A hilarious pretence ensues and Jemma must battle against a crazy mother-in-law, a stuffy aristocracy, and finally, and most surprisingly of all, confusing feelings for Ashford!

A hilarious romantic comedy perfect for fans of ´The Hating Game´ and ´Red, White & Royal Blue´.

Reviews for How (Not) to Marry a Duke

[Andrea Author · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Newly unemployed Gemma inherits a fortune. There's just one catch: she has to marry a man with a title. Fortunately, her solicitor offers a solution: a titled client who's in dire need of ready cash. Ashford doesn't know what to make of Gemma and her quirky style. Can they make their marriage of convenience work?

This is absolutely hilarious. An opposites attract, fish-out-of-water romance, it's full of quirky characters and awkward situations. The audiobook was great fun. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
