This book reads like a comedy of errors. LOL It was a fairly quick read with plenty of twists and turns. I did have trouble keeping up with the volume of characters initially introduced, but felt I knew them by the end.The newly minted Duke of Kress, Alexander Barclay, awakens after a bachelor...
This was a vastly disappointing read. The characters seemed promising, but they never became 'real' for me. Indeed, I was a bit confused. The 'wisp' of a man who was friend and tutor to the heroine was apparently an older man, but he read like an impertinent, ill bred wannabe dandy.The ducks (or ...

She descended a steep bank, slippery with dew, then guided her horse through a muddy stream. Salty breezes wafted through fields of verdant young grasses and wildflowers in the semidarkness before the rays of the sun penetrated the early morning sky and stilled the air.She had known she would not...
She had jammed the disintegrating bouquet of hideous flowers back onto that wretched concoction of hers that even people in the dark ages would not have considered suitable.

This was Georgiana, for Christ's sake. He knew it with crystal clarity. And he was enraptured. After tasting and touching every soft inch of her, he was overwhelmed by the desire to possess her fully. His mind was as coldly aware as his body was drunk with a primitive desire to mark her as his ow...
"I'd not thought you capable of breaking your word." He gently nipped her lobe then kissed the side of her neck. His mask tickled her hairline. She was trapped. The crowd, if anything, enlarged, making it almost impossible to move let alone put arm's-length distance between them. And amazingly, e...

So wonderfully wicked.Surely, pious people did not do that sort of thing. Mr. Ranier was a blacksmith and a farmer. Perhaps that was how it...
