Book one-hundred-and-fifty-one: Only a Duke Will Do

Only a Duke Will Do (2006)
Sabrina Jeffries

Rating: 2.5/5

Okay, but would have probably been better if I’d read whichever other book the two main characters appear in. Although, it was kind of interesting trying to work it out as I went along.

I can’t help thinking that it is very smart marketing wise of the author to make this part of this series, rather than the other one. Because now I want to read the other series, and I guess people who had read the other series, would now be forced to read this one… tricky, very tricky.

Marry? Never! It would end Louisa North's work with her ladies reform group—and truth be told, she likes her independence very much, despite her royal father's protests. So when Simon Tremaine, the dashing Duke of Foxmoor whom she'd once loved—and had exiled from England-returns bent on marrying her, she's skeptical. Does he truly care for her, or does he simply want revenge? It's difficult for Louisa to resist Simon's dangerous charms, because the fire between them still burns as hot as ever. But when his ulterior motive for marriage is exposed, along with the deeply buried secrets of his past, Louisa vows to make him pay…and the price will be his heart.
