Description

“Lush, beautifully written, and deeply romantic, My Darling Duke will sweep you off your feet. My heart was lost to this couple from the very start.” —Amalie Howard, author of The Beast of Beswick

Miss Katherine Danvers has always been a wallflower. But now, with her family on the brink of financial ruin, she finds herself a desperate wallflower. To save her family, she’ll do anything. Luckily, she has the perfect plan...

She’ll impress the ton by simply announcing she is engaged to the reclusive and mysterious Duke of Thornton, Alexander Masters, and secure strong matches for her sisters. No one has heard from the duke in years. Surely he’ll never find out before her sisters’ weddings, and she can go back to her own quiet life.

Soon, though, everything is out of control. At first, it’s just a few new ball gowns on the duke’s accounts. Then, it’s interviews with reporters eager for gossip. Before she knows it, Katherine has transformed herself into Kitty Danvers, charming and clever belle of the ton—with everyone eager to meet her thankfully absent fiancé.

But when the enigmatic Alexander Masters suddenly arrives in the city, dashing and oh so angry, he demands retribution. Except not in the way Katherine expected…

    Spell binding from beginning to end. Well written and I really enjoyed the hero and heroine. Who would have thought a fake betrothal to a reclusive Duke that no one has seen in the last 10 years would end in happily ever after. Well worth the price. This is a book I would enjoy reading over and over again.

    It did made me cry when the Duke was talking to his cousin Eugene. Love the bantering between Kitty and Duke as well the approval of the household. However I wish the revealing of she’s having his baby was included. Overall I’ll continue to read the rest of the series.
  • So heartfelt

    There are books that grab your heart and squeeze - this was one of those books. Kitty and Alexander’s relationship was uniquely beautiful. It was one of great strength and relentless perseverance. I’ve read many, many historical romance novels over the years, and this one has become one of my favorites. I absolutely loved it.
  • A lovely story of love, patience, and acceptance

    By Nessland10
    The way the author paced the relationship between Kitty and Alexander made it impossible to put it down because you’re always wondering what’s coming next. The banter between them is fun to read; Kitty’s patience and loyalty toward Alexander and his acceptance of her unique spirit makes it impossible not to fall in love with their story. A unique book which is why I’m not sure why some reviewers are calling it an updated Beauty and the Beast story. Looking forward to reading more of this author who makes sure to character develop, pacing is great, and you’re getting a full meal instead of a skeleton of a story.

    Definitely a book unlike any other. Full of mystery, intrigue, comedy, laughter and romance. Never read a story like this one.
