Publisher's summary

After three failed seasons and a disastrous jilting, Lady Dorothea Beaumont has had more than enough of her family's scheming. She won't domesticate a duke, entangle an earl, or vie for a viscount. She will quietly exit to her aunt's Irish estate for a life of blissful freedom. Until an arrogant, sinfully handsome duke singles her out for a waltz, making Thea the most popular belle of the season.

The duke ruined her plans, and he'll just have to fix them.

Dalton, Duke of Osborne, is far too heartless for debutantes or marriage - he uses dalliances and public spectacle to distract from his real purpose: finding the man who destroyed his family. When his search leads to Ireland, the last thing he needs is the determined, achingly innocent Thea, who arrives in the dead of night demanding he escort her to her aunt. His foolish agreement may prove his undoing. The road to the Emerald Isle is fraught with unforeseen dangers, but the greatest peril of all might just be discovering that he has a heart...and he's losing it to Thea.

Contains mature themes.

Wonderfully written and perfectly performed. This second book on the series is just as wonderful as the first.

predictable even the sex scene

I spent a lot of time during this book saying oh that's going to happen next and then it happened. if you're looking for a cliche romance novel with one solid theme for the evening love triangle then this is the book for you!

Better than the first - Good story & FUN

I knew I would enjoy Dalton's story. This was fun from the start. I enjoyed it more than the first book in the series.

I really like this series. It isn't going to stop the presses - but good solid romance.

Good Read

Great narrator, plausible storyline, likeable characters. Our runaway Heroine didn't intend to run away but I am glad the she did. After the goings on in the first book she deserved to find a place just for herself.

Good book

Any additional comments?

I did not read the first book in the series, but the second book was a great stand alone book. It mentioned what happened in the first book, but only as background because it was not necessary to this story. The heroine was most likable and independent. The narration was very good.

One of my favorite books!

If I only had a Duke, is now one of my favorite books! This book was funny, mysterious and all together enjoyable. It had a great story by Lenora Bell, a favorite author new to me, as I this is my second book of hers. It also had an extraordinary performance by narrator Beverley A Crick, as always. This is also an excellent series, all of the books may be read as stand alone though. I must run. The next book is available!

Surprising twist at end, always fun

I like a surprising twist at the end of a story. I lennoyed this story very much even though it’s slightly typical for the genre. Main characters interesting as well as side characters.

Simply delightful

Lenora Bell has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I love this series. In this latest book, Dorothea is a smart, strong woman who doesn't need a man to make her life worthwhile. Even a man like a handsome Duke.

I enjoy stories that include correspondence and letters start the story off well.

The narration by Ms Crick is very well done.

I am looking forward to more in the series. And I want the next book now! 🙂
