As the reader sinks further into this book, they will
realize that although Olivia is not the typical romance
heroine, she is a wonderful main character. Olivia has the
type of humor that many might say was unusual in her time
period and she does not have the ideal figure, but she will
form an instant connection with the reader. The hero is an
interesting figure as well. He is actually meant for the
heroine's sister.
Quin, the man in question, has intentions toward Olivia's
sister, but when he meets Olivia she makes him think twice.
They begin to form a friendship that gradually progresses
into something more. Olivia worries about what her sister
might think and their rocky relationship will amuse the
reader. The plot moves along at a steady pace. The reader
will slowly get to know the other characters, but will
likely enjoy Olivia's sense of humor most. The characters
play off each others' humor much to the happiness of the
reader. The plot itself is easy to follow and exciting. The
reader will certainly have a hard time putting this book
down. The dialogue in this book is both humorous and
intense. The author writes smoothly and will capture and
hold the readers' attention. The heroine herself makes THE
DUKE IS MINE worthy of a second look.
For Olivia Lytton, bethrothal to the Duke of Canterwick— hardly a Prince Charming—feels more like a curse than a happily-ever-after. At least his noble status will help her sister, Georgiana, secure an engagement with the brooding, handsome Tarquin, Duke of Sconce, a perfect match for her in every way...every way but one. Tarquin has fallen in love with Olivia. Quin never puts passion before reason. And reason says that Georgiana is his ideal bride. But the sensual, fiery, strong-willed Olivia ignites an unknown longing in him—a desire they are both powerless to resist. When a scandalous affair begins, they risk losing everything—Olivia's engagement, her sister's friendship, and their own fragile love. Only one thing can save them—and it awaits in the bedroom, where a magnificent mattress holds life-changing answers to the greatest romantic riddle of all.
