After Losing her father, Lillian Phillips, wants to recover
his pocket watch, but someone has already bought it. She
decides to follow him and try and get it back. This will
lead Lillian down a reckless road and a night she'll never
forget. One year later she is back in London, and all
because of the pocket watch, she finds herself blackmailed
by the Mad Duke of Thornwood.
Devon Grey meets a beautiful woman at a tavern, and spends
an unforgettable night with her, only to discover his new
pocket watch missing the next morning. A year later he sees
the woman who stole from him at a ball, and vows to get
revenge on the woman
MUST LOVE DUKES is a creative and fun read about
misunderstandings and true love. Lillian is a wonderfully
strong female protagonist who goes after what she wants, but
because of the time period she lives in, she's still
controlled by her older brothers. She has a serious side and
a fun side, and though she empathizes with Devon she never
tries to change him.
Devon is the mysterious hero romance readers love. While
most romance heroes are brooding and serious, Devon knows
how to laugh and enjoy life. I believe this made him an even
better character and hero. Through all the misunderstandings
Lillian and Devon learn to see each other for who they
really are, and they fall in love for who they are, not for
who they want each other to be.
Elizabeth Michels creates some great twists in the story,
and Lillian's brother Nathaniel, is an unexpected character
who is witty and charming. Lillian's potential suitors add
humor to MUST LOVE DUKES, and their pompous and ridiculous
personalities are both entertaining and believable. Michels
has written a delightful love story I enjoyed and will
recommend.
The Mad Duke lean in closer, his lips gently brushing
her ear, and whispered, "I dare you."
