Tessa Dare's first instalment in the new Castles Ever
After
series, ROMANCING THE DUKE will have readers clearing their
keeper shelf just to make room for this little gem! Jam-
packed with hilarious banter, Dare's trademark humor is
showcased in its full glory. With plenty of laugh out loud
moments, Dare effortlessly makes readers fall in love with
her intrepid heroine, Izzy and the blind and sometimes
sourly- but still irresistible hero!- Ransom.
It all begins when Izzy receives a letter informing her that
she has inherited a castle. It's every girl's dream to own
their very own castle! However, Izzy soon finds out that
someone else holds the castle to his name when she reaches
it. As the Duke of Rothbury, Ransom is a man who doesn't
dabble in the concept of fairy tales and stories. But since
Izzy's father is a famously known and beloved author, he
becomes engulfed in this make-believe world when Izzy's
admirers come to visit.
As you may have already guessed, there is a strong fairy
tale feel to this book. Fluffy and hopeful, Dare strikes the
perfect balance between dark and light. As she explores the
sad events of Ransom's past and cleverly integrates it into
the present conflict, she not only displays her clever
story-telling abilities, but she also creates a heart-
warming romance that readers will gobble up. It's a bold
move, and a brilliant one as well.
Dare surpasses her previous accomplishments with leaps and
bounds in this book. ROMANCING THE DUKE possesses everything
a lover of happily-ever-afters could want: a stunning Gothic
castle backdrop, lovable characters and many, many swoon-
worthy moments to make your heart sing!
As the daughter of a famed author, Isolde Ophelia Goodnight
grew up on tales of brave knights and fair maidens. She
never doubted romance would be in her future, too. The
storybooks offered endless possibilities.
And as she grew older, Izzy crossed them off. One by one by
one.
•Ugly duckling turned swan?
•Abducted by handsome highwayman?
•Rescued from drudgery by charming prince?
No, no, and . . . Heh.
Now Izzy’s given up yearning for romance. She’ll settle for
a roof over her head. What fairy tales are left over for an
impoverished twenty-six year-old woman who’s never even been
kissed?
