Book two-hundred-and-fifty-eight: Wicked Ways of a Duke

Wicked Ways of a Duke (2008)
Laura Lee Guhrke

When I was reading this, I couldn’t really figure out what was bothering me about it. Then it hit me: the hero really isn’t that admirable. Particularly in the first half of the book.

I just didn’t feel that he deserved her. I’m still not convinced.

Once upon a time, there was a seamstress named Prudence who lived in a lodging house, worked very hard, and dreamed of a better life. Then she inherited a fortune, met a handsome duke, and fell in love. Her life was wonderful, and it seemed as if she was destined to live happily ever after.

Then she found out money can’t buy happiness, handsome dukes can also be wicked, lying scoundrels, and a broken heart hurts like hell. Will Prudence ever find true love and happiness? Will the wicked duke mend his ways? Will she take him back or kick him to the curb?
