"Compelling, sympathetic characters and a rare blend of passion and humor result in another exquisite gem from a master of the genre. Gorgeously done."―Library Journal, starred review

SUMMARY

Julian St. David, Duke of Haverford, is barely keeping his head above water in a sea of inherited debts. Though he has a long-term plan to restore the family finances, his sister has a much faster solution: host a house party for London's single young ladies and find Julian a wealthy bride.

 

Elizabeth Windham has no interest in marriage, but a recent scandal has forced her hand. As much as she'd rather be reading Shakespeare than husband-hunting, she has to admit she's impressed by Julian's protective instincts, broad shoulders, and, of course, his vast library.

 

As the two spend more time together, their attraction is overwhelming, unexpected... and absolutely impossible. With meddling siblings, the threat of financial ruin, and gossips lurking behind every potted palm, will they find true love or true disaster?

REVIEW:  NO OTHER DUKE WILL DO (WINDHAM BRIDES) BY GRACE BURROWES

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


No Other Duke Will Do (Windham Brides) by Grace Burrowes

 
My favorite trait of author Grace Burrowes is that whether dabbling in suspense, bursting with atomic attraction or stepping into the throws of ecstasy, she never takes herself too seriously.  There is just enough of the fantasy to captivate and entertain.  No Other Duke Will Do spins a tale of friendship and seduction that starts with a relationship of convenience.  Elizabeth and Julian are the stars of a cast of characters that look to charm their way into the heart as easily as they set up residence in the mind.

EXCERPT

 

 

“I still want to kiss you, Elizabeth. Rather a lot.”

    “That sentiment is mutual,” she said, setting off at a brisk pace. “But where is it written that friends can never kiss, or otherwise express their attraction to each other?”

    “It ought to be written somewhere,” Haverford said, “in great bold copperplate. Kissing leads to—”

    “I know where it leads, Your Grace, in the general case. The destination has been sadly unimpressive on past visits. I’d like to explore where kissing leads with you.”

    “You are—”

    “I am lonely too.” And doubtless bound for marriage to some charming, boring viscount with clammy hands.

    “—quite fierce about this friendship business.” His gaze was on the castle, and Elizabeth suspected he was trying not to smile.

    “I’m quite fierce about everything.” And only now coming to admit it.

    “We shall be fierce friends then, for the duration of a house party. One shudders to think what mischief… What the devil is he doing here?”

    A coach and four was rattling up the drive a quarter of a mile away. The horses were all white, exactly matched for gait and height, and pulling a black coach with red wheels. A single trunk was affixed to the back, though no crest adorned the door.

    “It appears you’ve a late arriving guest.” Or a bad fairy calling on the party, based on Haverford’s expression.   

    “Not a guest, a problem. A most unwelcome problem.”
