Cute Title

 A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley 

The audiobook narrator had a fantastic accent for Patience but her male voice was lacking. Also, I liked it better when I thought his name was Music instead of Busic. And, I do not like secret keeping as a plot device and the entire premise of this book was Patience keeping (many) secrets from him. The banter was the only thing that kept me engaged with this book. I wanted to like it more than I did because the title was so cute, it was giving 3 Men and a Baby which was a movie I loved as a kid, but this didn't live up to my expectations. Patience and Busic had good chemistry but we didn't even get a fade to black scene. For being a former rake he was decidedly moral. Her charades dressed as a man were funny. His schedules, especially crawling practice for an infant, were ridiculous in an adorable manner. For a while I thought their two friends were each others missing spouses, but it couldn't be that easy. I'm glad that she finally came clean with him about her letter, and what she was doing in London and why so he could piece together the actual truth; that Colin didn't kill himself but was drugged months earlier and that's what caused him to walk into the river and drown. And that the evil uncle finally got his karma in the end. I did not like that we never found out who was hiding in the attic and taking stuff. I will probably listen to the next book to see which of the two friends is going to get their happily ever after, but it might be a while.
