Marian Langley and her sisters are in a desperate financial situation. Marian has two choices to fix the problem: marry an odious man from her village or become a wealthy man’s mistress. Since she lacks the skills or knowledge to do this, she needs a tutor. She finds one in Nathaniel, Duke of Warrington. They strike up a bargain that Nate will teach Marian everything she needs to know without taking her virginity. But sometimes deals change.

I absolutely adored Marian. She was such a fun, spunky heroine without being over the top. I loved that she was willing to take care of her sisters without making herself a complete martyr and still worried about her own happiness. Nate was fantastic, too, as a rather hermit-like hero who couldn’t help falling for Marian. I did find myself wishing for more of his POV throughout the novel, however.

The plot did not disappoint either! I never found myself bored and couldn’t wait to find out exactly how Marian became THE DUKE’S STOLEN BRIDE! I found it very difficult to put this book down.

I felt like the sexy times were very sexy without being over the top and that the attraction between Marian and Nate was genuine. I know I couldn’t wait for their next encounter any more than they could.

I did feel it was maybe a bit too convenient that Nate had pots of money at his disposal and that’s exactly what Marian needed. But that didn’t take away from the story at all.

THE DUKE’S STOLEN BRIDE is yet another great title in Sophie Jordan’s Rogue Files series and I absolutely loved it. I cannot wait for the next title!!
