Into this life-changing quandary enters Scarlett King. So, though he could care less about the title, his refusal to marry may now also cost him the very business he has built with his own two hands. Unfortunately, Ryder loves women too much to commit to just one for the rest of his life. You see, Ryder by rights could be the next Duke of Fairfax himself, and thereby inherit his business cleanly except for one very small inconvenient condition to his inheriting the title: he must marry first. Well sort of anyways, except for the fact that his current billion-dollar enterprise was built on a small cash infusion from his grandfather, the Duke of Fairfax (and therefore his business constitutes property of the Fairfax dukedom). Ryder Westbury is a self-made, investor billionaire. I suppose to give credit where credit is due, Shane East’s marvelous narration and Saskia Maarleveld’s adept one were also partly responsible for my above average enjoyment of this title. Bay’s writing style which kept me glued to my earbuds as I listened. Though I must admit that there weren’t any ground-breaking twists or turns to this story, and in fact the plot is pretty straight-forward, there was just something enigmatically pleasing and addicting to Ms. Bay’s writing style, and the general topic of this story, reminded me a lot of Emma Chase, especially her Royally series. In the end, I found this story to be a quick, fun, romantic listen. I had been hearing great things about Louise Bay’s romances, so I decided to dive in and give Duke of Manhattan a shot. Narrated by Shane East and Saskia Maarleveld
