Summary
All of London gossips about the Duke of Montrose. A recluse. Inflicted with a terrible disease. A gargoyle with a terrible temper. But he's also the most important patron of the centuries-old book shop that belongs to Miss Elizabeth Sharpe's family. Now she's been charged with delivering books to the Gargoyle of London herself—or risk their shop falling into ruin. But surely a duke can't be that ghastly . . .
Garrett Maximilian doesn't give a tinker's damn what society says about him. Most of them are sycophants, bowing and scraping in his presence. But not this proud, redheaded spitfire of a woman standing before him. In fact, nothing makes him feel more alive than Miss Elizabeth tartly criticizing his books. Perhaps he just needs a plan to keep her close . . .
The duke's glower doesn't terrify Elizabeth as much as it fascinates her. And worse, he looks at her with a dark hunger that should make her shake with fear—not desire. But Elizabeth's father has sinister plans in store for his daughter . . . and this beastly duke might be her only salvation.
Contains mature themes.

Sweet and predictable
It’s a nice fluffy listen. I feel neither here nor there about this purchase. Both characters were decent people. The MMC was a bit frustrating at times but he got there at the very end. I wish the book was a bit longer though: I felt as if the ending could have been more rounded out and maybe an epilogue would have been nice, as is customary for these types of books. All in all it’s cute. The narrator was adequate. Neither stellar nor eardrum haemorrhage inducing either, in other words: it was bearable.
If you want a profound and original tale, I would not recommend this book. If you want something simple and straightforward to pass the time, then make the purchase.
