The Duke Heist
A woman accidentally kidnaps a duke in this fabulous Regency romp that Bridgerton author Julia Quinn hails as a "delight."
Chloe Wynchester is completely forgettable--a curse that gives her the ability to blend into any crowd. When the only father she's ever known makes a dying wish for his adopted family of orphans to recover a missing painting, she's the first one her siblings turn to for stealing it back. No one expects that in doing so, she'll also abduct a handsome duke.
Lawrence Gosling, the Duke of Faircliffe, is tortured by his father's mistakes. To repair his estate's ruined reputation, he must wed a highborn heiress. Yet when he finds himself in a carriage being driven hell-for-leather down the cobblestone streets of London by a beautiful woman who refuses to heed his commands, he fears his heart is hers. But how can he sacrifice his family's legacy to follow true love?
"Erica Ridley's love stories are warm, witty and irresistible. I want to be a Wynchester!" --Eloisa James

This was so much fun! I love the Wynchester family and I'm very excited to read more from this series! I think I would have had a great time with these characters and this story regardless, but it was an extra bonus that the audiobook was narrated by the fantastic Moira Quirk, who can make me feel immersed in just about anything. I do have some vague criticisms in the back of my head somewhere, but right now I'm still on the high of the happy ending and I'm just gonna stay in that feeling for now. If you like historical romances and you like stories with loving and supportive (but quirky) families, you will probably have fun with this book too.
