A Duke in Shining Armor: A Difficult Dukes Novel

 

Not all dukes are created equal. Most are upstanding members of Society. And then there’s the trio known as The Dis-Graces.

Hugh Philemon Ancaster, seventh Duke of Ripley, will never win prizes for virtue. But even he draws the line at running off with his best friend’s bride. All he’s trying to do is recapture the slightly inebriated Lady Olympia Hightower and return her to her intended bridegroom.

For reasons that elude her, bookish, bespectacled Olympia is supposed to marry a gorgeous rake of a duke. The ton is flabbergasted. Her family’s ecstatic. And Olympia? She’s climbing out of a window, bent on a getaway. But tall, dark, and exasperating Ripley is hot on her trail, determined to bring her back to his friend. For once, the world-famous hellion is trying to do the honorable thing.

So why does Olympia have to make it so deliciously difficult for him . . . ?

KU Book Review 

I enjoyed the story very much. I found it hard to put the book down so I just continued reading way into dawn. My husband woke up at 5:00 am to find me on the couch still reading, on a week day. Needless to say, I went to work the following day with a headache. My advise is to read the book on a Saturday, so if anyone, like me, finds it difficult to put down and decides to read it in one sitting, at least the next day is not a working day.
