The Day of the Duchess

Romance Historical

THE DAY OF THE DUCHESS is the third book in the Scandal & Scoundrel series by Sarah Maclean. Sarah introduced Seraphina and Malcolm in her first book in this series, THE ROGUE NOT TAKEN. Still, this book can read as a stand-alone novel. Seraphina Bevingstoke, Duchess of Haven returns to London after years in exile with one goal in mind; to demand divorce from her husband, Malcolm Marcus Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven. She wants her freedom and to forget the heartache and the pain that resulted from her marriage. She believes Malcolm doesn't have a problem with divorce since he needs an heir and Sera can't have a baby. Malcolm has been looking for his wife for the last three years, he regretted his behavior and wanted his wife back. But Sera has other plans, and Malcolm is not part of it. So when she asked for the divorce Malcolm needs time to convince her that they belong to each other. He offers her freedom on one condition that she finds her replacement which requires her to spend the summer with her husband. Sarah MacLean is an amazing story teller that keeps you enthralled through the whole story. Her heroines are strong, stubborn and shock you most the time. THE DAY OF THE DUCHESS starts with a few chapters alternate between present and past to tells the suffering and heartbreaking that Sera had been through. There is lots tension and passion between the hero and heroine. Malcolm doesn't to lose her again but can he convince her to stay. I absolutely enjoyed reading their love stories; there were some emotional scenes that make me cry but still love it. The only thing that I like to see less in the book is the repetition of the same idea or words. Still, I love her books and her writing. Thank you, Sarah MacLean.

SUMMARY

The one woman he will never forget… Malcolm Bevingstoke, Duke of Haven, has lived the last three years in self-imposed solitude, paying the price for a mistake he can never reverse and a love he lost forever. The dukedom does not wait, however, and Haven requires an heir, which means he must find himself a wife by summer’s end. There is only one problem—he already has one. The one man she will never forgive… After years in exile, Seraphina, Duchess of Haven, returns to London with a single goal—to reclaim the life she left and find happiness, unencumbered by the man who broke her heart. Haven offers her a deal; Sera can have her freedom, just as soon as she finds her replacement…which requires her to spend the summer in close quarters with the husband she does not want, but somehow cannot resist. A love that neither can deny… The duke has a single summer to woo his wife and convince her that, despite their broken past, he can give her forever, making every day
