An aimless life. An unsettled conscience. Can the gentlewoman next door bring a new sense of purpose to this duke run aground in Derbyshire?

Nigel Lymington, the new Duke of Warrenton, always played second fiddle to his elder brother’s wild exploits. After rising to the title himself, he tries to live up to his family’s rakish reputation, only to discover that he has neither the temperament nor the money to indulge in the wastrel Warrenton way of life.

While rusticating in Derbyshire, he encounters a gentlewoman named Miss Belinda Morrison who cares more about tenants and crop rotation than tittle-tattle and court connections. Can Nigel learn to plough a straight enough furrow to attract an honest woman of intelligence and industry? And will Bel Morrison set down her ledgers long enough to let him dance his way into her heart?

An homage to the beloved Georgette Heyer, this clean and wholesome Regency romance follows the adventures of a droll duke, a competent heroine, an inexperienced valet, an interfering vicar, and a mischievous feline.

The story is entertaining, comedic, interesting, engaging, enjoyable, funny, fun, and more. The Derbyshire Dance is the third book in Kandall House series.

I have enjoyed listening to all of the audiobook stories written by Rosanne and narrated by Maria. This audiobook was wonderful to listen to, to continue the story of what happens to the Duke. I'm looking forward to hearing future stories.

The Derbyshire Dance is a charming and uplifting Regency romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Belinda is a practical and capable heroine who cares deeply about her responsibilities, while Nigel is a thoughtful duke trying to find his footing and purpose. Their story unfolds in a gentle, satisfying way that feels warm and genuine.

The supporting characters add so much charm — especially the well-meaning vicar and the adorable cat, who both bring a bit of humor and heart to the story. It’s a cozy read with engaging characters and a sweet romance that fans of clean historical fiction will appreciate.

I thought that the narrator did a superb job. I’m also happy that Nigel ended up being a good guy.

Gentle, Romantic, and So Enjoyable
