Dukes, Actually

12 Dukes of Christmas, Book 5

By: Erica Ridley

Narrated by: Rosie Akerman

A heartwarming romp between a socially awkward duke and the social butterfly who pines for him, from a New York Times bestselling author:

The Duke of Azureford isn’t the arrogant, aloof lord his peers perceive him to be. Yes, he’s awkward, but he has a plan to fix it. In order to woo a respectable lady, he must learn how to flirt. The completely inappropriate girl next door would make a perfect instructor, but a terrible duchess. So why can’t he walk away?

Incorrigible hoyden Miss Carole Quincy likes fast carriages, carom billiards, and the beautiful, buttoned-up Duke of Azureford. She’d be delighted to help him out of his shell and into her arms. Who cares if they’re just pretending to flirt? The heady, breath-taking, soul-consuming feeling inside her runaway heart surely can’t be love…

The 12 Dukes of Christmas is a series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. After all, nothing heats up a winter night quite like finding oneself in the arms of a duke!

Erica strikes again!

I'm held in rapture at every chapter. The fact that there were two romances that happened threw me for a loop. I could relate to Adam being more of a hermit and coming out of his shell and this novel capitalized on it. Another tear jerker for me but such a satisfying end.
