Its a good first chapter but I didn't realize that it was not the entire book until today and I don't  write  reviews for a book I have not read all of. It would not be fair to the author or to the people who read my reviews.  I realize this is my fault for not looking more carefully when I requested the book but I was so excited to see this book as I have been anticipating it and missed that it was just the first chapter. I have requested the complete book and hopefully I will be approved, but a  suggestion would be to make it  clear with a banner on the book cover that it is not the whole book and honestly what is the point of putting part of a book on NetGalley .. It's useless to reviewers  and perhaps gets people interested in a book but I don't think NetGalley reviewers are your target audience.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. This was just a wonderful book to read and it was just easy to lose yourself in the story. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This was a bit slow moving to start out with, but overall, I really enjoyed it! Joshua was so grumpy and hid behind his injury. It was once he was forced to constantly be around Gwyn that we got to see how wonderful he was. It usually is the toughest ones that fall the hardest. And I absolutely adored Gwyn’s strength of spirit. To bear the burden of her past alone for so long was admirable. I loved these two characters separately, but together they were perfect for each other. Just a note...This can be read as a standalone, but there were bits and pieces that probably would have been more understandable had I read the first in the series. And while the main issue in this story was resolved, it’s clear that there is a bigger, ongoing issue involving the entire family and series.

An intriguing beginning; I did wonder why Gwen didn't feel able to go to her brother though. One indiscretion 10 years ago and she's willing to put her life at risk rather than let her brother find out? Seemed a bit silly and naive for a woman who isn't a naive debutant any more. Hope to get approved to read the rest of the book!

This was just an email excerpt so I don’t want to give much of a review. This was interesting but I don’t feel the need to pick up the book ASAP. I’m going to rate this 3 stars but I don’t feel very comfortable rating an excerpt so that could changed if I read the whole book.

Didn't realize this was an excerpt, but I did get the actual book afterwards so you will get a real review on that NG page. Loved it!

While I wasn't paying attention when I requested this book and didn't realize it was an excerpt only...I loved what I've read so far! I am basically dying to read the rest of it and what more could an excerpt hope to accomplish?

Can't wait for this one to release.

A very engrossing snippet to a very promising read.  Can't wait to read the full-length novel. 4 stars!

This was a great first chapter, I can't wait for the full book to come out. Looks like another winner from Sabrina Jeffries.

Sabrina Jeffries has written The Bachelor, which is the newest and second book in the Duke Dynasty series.  The book follows a mismatched family with three Dukes and their siblings.  Some being wealthy and others not so wealthy.  The link that ties them all together is Lydia Fletcher who married three times.  This book focuses Gwen Drake and Joshua Wolfe.  

Gwen is the sister of a duke and is out on the marriage mart at the age of 30.  She has many secrets from her past that she has kept from her family.  Unfortunately, the secret is enough to have her being blackmailed by a man from her past.  

Joshua is the third son of a duke.  He was seriously hurt during the war and took a long time to heal.  He was offered a job as a gamekeeper on her brother’s estate.  He is curt, brusk and usually blunt.  He knows that Gwen is keeping secrets and has been offered a job protecting her while she is in London.  

Joshua and Gwen have fabulous chemistry and I really enjoyed reading about them in the prior books, so I was quite happy to read this novel.  Secrets and lack of honest conversation is almost always the cause of problems.  Too bad Joshua and Gwen had to work through all that, but that is what made the book so good.  The Bachelor by Sabrina Jeffries was a great read.

I was given the book by Net Galley to read and review with my opinion. I was disappointed that when I first downloaded the book, it was only the first chapter.  Especially since it was already offered at the end of the Project Dutchess. Sabrina Jeffries put a link on her website with the entire book once it had been corrected on Net Galley! I was quite happy to redownload and read the entire ARC.

This has me so intrigued. I loved reading about them in the previous book. I have a feeling they are going to be great characters.

I just finished my one chapter from @authorsabrinajeffries new book #thebachelor and I CANNOT wait for this book to be released. It’s a mix of the bodyguard with an injured hero (which is my weakness) and a headstrong older heroine (30 is long in the tooth in those days). I just pre ordered on amazon!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Love Elizabeth's books so can't wait to read the rest of the book

Review of chapter 1 - full review of entire book to come

Made me interested in seeing where the story is going, I am looking forward to digging into the full novel soon.

Just a sample chapter but very promising! The perfect tease which definitely left me hungry for more of this couple. Can't wait to find out how it'll progress. Very well-written.

When I requested this, I didn’t realize (or it didn’t say, could go either way, honestly) that it was merely an excerpt. But it’s definitely enough of one to entice me to keep reading. Enjoyed the first book in this series, which teased this book a little, and now my appetite is whet, I’m ready for more! Charming, well-written, interesting.

Enjoyed the first chapter. Heroine is spunky and stubborn. Hero is quiet and mysterious (Lord but I love a quiet hero).  am looking forward to the rest. Exciting start. Color me intrigued.

It is difficult to write a historical romance review based on the first chapter of the book but what I can say is there is high hope for the novel especially if you enjoyed Project Duchess. I am already hooked on the primary and secondary characters which Sabrina Jeffries is so good at developing.

Lady Gwyn Drake and Joshua Wolfe are both introduced in Project Duchess and are compelling characters. You could already feel the sparks between the two characters and it is foreshadowed they both have a pass that haunts them. I am so excited to get in deeper into the story and look forward to writing a complete review at that time.

The Bachelor by Sabrina Jefferies is the second novel in her Duke Dynasty series.  The novel begins with a blackmailing attempt of Lady Gwen Drake and the involvement of Major Joshua Wolfe. The first chapter teaser sets up an engaging story for readers.

I loved the previous book, Project Duchess, and was thrilled to see it was getting a sequel.  Joshua was so broody in the previous book and Gwyn so likable that I couldn't wait for their stories and now I'm thrilled to see them getting together.  This sample is promising and I can't wait to read the full book.
