LAST NIGHT WITH THE DUKE is the first book in The
Rakes of St. James, a lovely
start to a new series by Amelia Grey. The Duke of Griffin
has been a rake most of his life. But now with his twin
sisters' first season and the rumors that his twin sisters
may bear the brunt
of his past follies, Griffin needs a strong chaperone for
his sisters. Unfortunately, their aunt is sick and won't be
able to watch after the girls.
Griffin needs to hire a chaperone from the governess agency.
One look at the
beautiful Esmeralda Swift and he knows what he wants.
Esmeralda Swift considered herself too sensible to ever fall
for a scoundrel,
but when the irresistibly seductive Duke of Griffin refuses
to hire anyone else
but her, she can't resist the temptation. Although she makes
excuses and requests to bring her sister and their dog,
she won't succeed to change Griffin's decision.
As Esmeralda takes up residence with her sister and their
dog in the Duke's
house. Griffin becomes more captivate by her and can't stop
thinking about
her, but as a honorable and responsible gentleman, he tries
to keep his
distance from Esmeralda.
The attraction and the sensual pull is stronger than what
they imagined. He
needs to focus on his sisters and she needs to keep her job.
Ms. Grey's writing is wonderful, witty and emotional. LAST
NIGHT WITH THE DUKE
is a romantic story with a bit of mystery. I loved the
connection and the
banter between hero and heroine. Absolutely enjoyed reading
this delightful
story with great secondary characters. Griffin and Esmeralda
were so
adorable and lovely. I am so looking forward to read the
next book in this
series. Thank you Amelia Grey!

be distracted by his devilish charms because the stakes are
so high for his sisters’ debut Season. . .unless one of
London’s most notorious rakes has had a change of heart and
