Having grown up on her father's ship and in some of the
world's most exotic places, Miss May Bradford is not
thrilled when her father ships her off to his sister's in
England after the death of May's mother. With her aunt
constantly lecturing her on propriety, May can't wait
until her father comes back for her and they leave the
dreaded country on their next adventure. When May meets
the exceedingly proper Duke of Radcliffe, things don't go
so well, leading May's aunt to lock her in her room until
she apologizes to the Duke.
William Spencer, the Duke of Radcliffe, lives his life
according to the propriety expected of someone of his
station. The last thing he needs in his life is a woman
who doesn't even know the meaning of the word, but
there's something about May that draws him. No
matter how improper he considers her, William finds himself
still seeking out her company at every turn. Though she's
everything he said he didn't want in his life, William
finds himself falling for May anyway, but with May's
insistence she's just waiting for her father to come get
her so she can leave the country William loves, will
there be anything he can do to convince her some things
are worth staying for?
Erin Knightley, where have you been hiding? THE DUKE CAN
GO TO THE DEVIL, the third book in the Prelude to a Kiss
series, captivated me from the get go. I love how
unconventional and strong May's character is and remains throughout the book,
unlike a lot of times where the
character starts off quirky and quickly morphs into the
kind of girl the hero wants. I also love the verbal
sparing between May and William. Sparks fly off the pages
from the moment these two meet and you won't be able to
contain your laughter. The build up of the romance
between the two will delight readers. The addition of
secondary characters who are as fascinating as the mains
left me wanting more. I can't wait to read the first
two books in this enchanting series. THE DUKE CAN GO TO
THE DEVIL may be my first foray into the world of Erin
Knightley but it certainly won't be my last. I'm counting
down until the next book in this series comes out.
After her mother’s death, May’s sea captain father sends
her halfway around the world to live with his stodgy
sister in England. The summer festival in Bath made for a
lovely distraction, but now she can’t wait for her
father’s return so she can leave this country, its
suffocating rules, and one infuriatingly proper nobleman
in particular behind.
Because he is the Duke of Radcliffe, William Spencer’s
whole life revolves around his duties. He never steps
foot outside the bounds of proper behavior, and he
expects the same of those around him. With her devil-may-
care ways, May vexes him nearly as much as she tempts
him, but there’s something about her that he just can’t
resist. He knows he’s falling hard for her, but with
lives that are worlds apart, will they ever be able to
find any common ground?
