"It All Started with a Watch"
Reviewed by Ande Flanagan

Romance Historical
Our hero and heroine meet under strange circumstances. Devon
is stalked by a woman in blue all the way from Bond Street
to a seedy tavern where under false names they chat over
drinks. They leave after a bar brawl and end up having a
romp in the back of a hack. All this and it is only the end
of the first chapter.
Lillian Phillips traveled to London to reacquire her
father's pocket watch which was sold off after his death.
When she discovers that someone else has bought it she does
whatever she has to do to get it back, even if she loses
something much more valuable in the process.
All Devon Grey, Duke of Thornwood, the Mad Duke, wants is a
drink after a long day. Instead he gets caught up with a
strange yet beguiling female and loses his new timepiece.
The Mad Duke is determined to live up to his reputation and
do whatever he has to do to find that scheming woman and his
watch.
MUST LOVE DUKES by Elizabeth Michels is a regency romance. MUST LOVE DUKES is the first novel in Elizabeth Michels new
series Tricks of the Ton. MUST LOVE DUKES is
intriguing
from the very first paragraph. Michels' writing is fresh,
new, and unexpected.
At times Elizabeth Michels' writing borders on farcical
adding a touch of comedy to MUST LOVE DUKES. Lillian's
drunken naivete while being ravished is quite delightful and
Devon playing Mad fills me with devilish glee.
I look forward to reading the rest of Elizabeth Michels'
Tricks of the Ton series.
SUMMARY
The Mad Duke lean in closer, his lips gently brushing
her ear, and whispered, "I dare you."

come to this. Blackmailed by the Mad Duke of Thornwood into
accepting one wild dare after another...all because of a
pocket watch. Desperate to recover her beloved father's
pawned timepiece, Lily did something reckless and dangerous
and delicious—something that led to a night she'd never
forget. He has a Reputation for
Scandal When Devon Grey, Duke of Thornwood,
runs into a mesmerizing, intoxicating, thieving woman who
literally stole from his bedchamber—with his new pocket
watch—Devon plots his revenge. If the daring wench likes to
play games, he's happy to oblige. After all, what's the ruse
of being the Mad Duke if you can't have some fun? But the
last laugh might just be on him...
