  • England 1814: Upstanding duke desperately seeks accident-prone wife from trade…She is from trade. He is a duke and an agent for the crown with a name to restore and a mystery to solve.Miss Grace (ha!) Radclyffe is an oftentimes hilariously clumsy, 20-year-old orphan biding her time living with her uncle until she is old enough to come into her small inheritance. Much to her aunt’s chagrin:She isn’t:•Reserved – not with her shocking! tendency to befriend the servants…•Sophisticated – highly overrated if one cannot run around barefoot outside…•Graceful – she once flung her dinner into a duke’s face… on accident, of course.But she is:•Practical – owning a fashion house is in her future; unless someone foils her plans…•In love… maybe… perhaps… possibly…The Duke of Stonebridge is a man with a tragic past. His father died mysteriously when he was 12 years old amid speculation that the old duke was ‘involved’ with another man. He must restore his family name, but on the eve of his engagement to the perfect debutante, he meets his betrothed’s cousin, and his world is turned inside out… No matter:He is always:•Logical – men who follow their hearts and not their heads are foolish…•Reserved – his private life is nobody’s business but his own…And he isn’t:•Impulsive – it always leads to trouble…•Charming – that’s his best friend, the Marquess of Dansbury’s, area of expertise…•In love… maybe… perhaps… possibly…Can he have what he wants and remain respectable? Can she trust him to be the man she needs?

but I really enjoyed this one

I read this as part of my book club. This isn't my usual genre, in fact, I go out of my way to try to avoid this genre, but I really enjoyed this one. Loved the writing style, and enjoyed the characters, especially with some humor thrown in. After all, how can you not laugh at a prawn accidentally being flung across a room?

A must read even for history buffs

This refers to the paperback ....LOVED IT!!!! Six stars! Be prepared for the unexpected ... Lots of palatable English history and customs so well expressed (besides the twists and turns of an on your edge love story) that I am certainly this new author's fan. Can't wait for the sequel. A must read!!!!

Great read

What a Duke Wants was my book club's selection for September. We all agreed it was a terrific novel, with the perfect combination of intrigue and romance. We look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.
