Lady Betsy Wilde has been outrageously successful on the marriage
mart and has secured a proposal from a duke. Before she makes a final
commitment to her duke, however, she longs for an adventure. Lord
Jeremy Roden, a friend of her brother's, makes a deal with Betsy: if she
wins a billiards game, he'll take her on an adventure. If he wins, she is
his for one night. Jeremy soon realizes one night would never be
enough and must convince Betsy to say no to the duke.
SAY NO TO THE DUKE features a
unique hero and heroine... I really liked both Betsy and Jeremy and
found their motives for behaving the way they did to be intriguing and
thought-provoking. Jeremy was the only man capable (outside of the
Wildes) of realizing that Betsy completely changed her personality in
view of the ton to keep from being judged to be like her adulterous
mother. He suffers from PTSD and it made him a different type of hero
among historical romances. Plus, I loved it when he got all growly! Both
characters grew so much throughout the book as they healed
themselves and each other.
There wasn't much action in this title, but the witty banter between
Jeremy and Betsy and the crazy secondary characters made up for it.
These aspects kept me reading just to see what the characters would
say to each other and how Jeremy would convince Betsy to SAY NO TO THE DUKE .
One little wager will determine their fate—a
daring escape or falling into temptation with a rakish
lord.
Lady Betsy Wilde’s first season was triumphant by any
measure, and a duke has proposed—but before marriage, she
longs for one last adventure.
No gentleman would agree to her scandalous plan—but Lord
Jeremy Roden is no gentleman. He offers a wager. If she wins
a billiards game, he’ll provide the breeches.
If he wins…she is his, for one wild night.
But what happens when Jeremy realizes that one night will
never be enough? In the most important battle of his life,
he’ll have to convince Betsy to say no to the duke.
