Publisher's summary

When girl meets duke, their marriage breaks all the rules....

Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury's to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne'er-do-wells by night. Now there's a new item on the list. He needs an heir - which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar's daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she'll do.

His terms are simple:

  • They will be husband and wife by night only.
  • No lights, no kissing.
  • No questions about his battle scars.
  • Last, and most importantly...once she's pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.

But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:

  • They will have dinner together every evening.
  • With conversation.
  • And unlimited teasing.
  • Last, and most importantly...once she's seen the man beneath the scars, he can't stop her from falling in love.

Hilarious and wonderful

This isn't a traditional romance; they don't jump to conclusions and not talk to each other for 3 chapters, they seem to actually evolve as characters and it's hilarious!

Love, love, love!

I absolutely loved this book. Every part of the book was sassy and fun, while still having a story. I’ve read Tessa Dare before, every book is an absolute treat. I guess I better gear up to by the rest of the audio books by Dare. I don’t want to blow through all of my credits.
Narrator Mary Jane Wells is an outstanding narrator. If she hadn’t won awards, then they haven’t been given to the right people. You totally forget that you are listening to a single narrator. Dual narrators are definitely not needed with Ms. Wells!

What’s not to love!?

Tessa Dare is one of my favorites and this series of books also favorites. I have read them all. In combination with this narrator, Mary Jane Wells it was great. I could only find the Duchess Deal on Audible. I hope that the rest of this series comes out on audible soon.

Fun read

I love a romance with some humor and this one certainly does. It also has several real issues such as forgiveness, love and courage. Worth the read.

Slick Banter That Will Make You Smile!

I live stories that have characters that make you forget the stress of the day and give you something g to laugh about. Touché to Tessa Dare. I got this book two days ago and have listened to it three times by now.

(I now have to go back to my High School Shakespeare class and figure out all the “intelligent” ways to curse! )

Author has great sense of humor.

Nothing all that new in the plot but that is to be expected. It is the little one liners through out the book and the narrator's delivery that made this book extra fun to read. It had great hot scenes too. Read it! You won't be sorry.
