    About this audiobook

    Writing with a velvety touch, Margaret McPhee stirs passions with tales that harken back to a more romantic age - while raising pulses in the here and now. McPhee is at her scandalous best in Unmasking the Duke's Mistress, which features Arabella, a fallen woman about to don the mask of Miss Noir at Mrs. Silver's House of Pleasures. Arabella's former love, Dominic Furneaux, is the last man she hoped would enter her new place of employ, but when he does, he surprises her by offering a way out - as his mistress.

    Margaret McPhee

    Margaret McPhee trained as a scientist, but was always a romantic at heart. She wrote two manuscripts and suffered numerous rejections from publishers and agents before joining the Romantic Novelists Association. A further two manuscripts later and with help from RNAs new writers' scheme, her first regency romance was born. Margaret enjoys cycling, tea and cakes and loves exploring the beautiful scenery and wildlife of the islands of Scotland with her husband.

      This wasn't a bad book at all. A bit melodramatic in places, and I'm getting a bit bored of the evil-with-no-redeeming-qualities-ex-lover plot, but it was pretty well written and kept me reading. Just a little more creativity with the bad guy would have been nice. :)

      First, I want to say that this book is really a struggle for me. I love it and I hate it at the same time. Why do I love it? A second chance at love is one of my favorite tropes. The pacing of the story is excellent; there are no dull moments; even a brief conversation between Arabella and her mother. Arabella is a strong woman who, despite any obstacles, she will strive to live it for the sake of her son Archie and her mother. She would do everything for them, which in my opinion, is really happening in real life. Bed scenes aren't as detailed, and they're not as smutty when it comes to making love; a little exposure of this and he touched her and kissed her, if you know what I mean. I want to keep this review rated PG guys, please bear with me! Okay let's move on..What was it about it that I hated? The point of view used here is sometimes perplexing; for example, you're on Arabella's head, which you'd know because she's telling a story, and then you're surprised to find yourself reading Dominic's mind instead. And the other thing is all the ranting about how hurt they both were, how they hated each other, and how betrayed they felt from one another, especially Arabella, it's the same thing over and over, she thought about how betrayed she was again and again, and I think it's becoming repetitive.In any case, It is an interesting novel and I would recommend that you read it. And I'd be reading the next book by the same author! Good luck with your reading! See you on my next review..
