This is the last title of the series. The 4 stepbrothers finally finds out who killed their mother's husbands in this book. It's nice to revisit the former characters... some of my favorites... This book is about Sheridan who pretends to be courting Vanessa in order to solve the mystery. They get caught in a compromising situation and are forced to marry.... and you get the gist.... :) An exciting finish to the series...

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with an arc in exchange for my opinion.

This is Vanessa and Sheridan’s story. Sheridan and his family are investigating the possible murders of their mother’s husbands. Vanessa’s mother is one of the suspects. Vanessa has been in love with him for a year. Sheridan is supposed to question Vanessa’s mother. He pretends to court Vanessa. They get caught in a compromising position and are forced to marry. There are many secrets as well and as a murderer to catch. I loved the story as well as the series. I can’t wait for her next book.

Of the three ducal half-brothers, only Sheridan remains unmarried, and he intends to stay that way. But when he’s forced to spend time with his brother’s beautiful and brilliant cousin, Vanessa Pryde, he’s tempted to consider other options. Too bad Vanessa is enamored of a young playwright and has no interest in Sheridan. Or does she?

Thankfully, this book finally concludes the series-long mystery of who murdered several people. Sheridan and Vanessa’s reluctant courtship was a joy to watch. And it’s always nice to visit old friends from past books, a large group of whom feature heavily in this one. The whole extended family is one I wish I could meet.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

Who has been killing their mother’s husbands off? This fourth novel in the Duke Dynasty series, which involves four duke stepsiblings, solves the mystery that has been ongoing in the series. This story is about Sheridan, a man who never wants to open himself up to love, and Vanessa, a woman who has always loved him, who decides to go for him. A great story! I received an ARC from NetGalley and Kensington Books for my honest review.

Sweet and spicy, with one of the more affable heroes and daring heroines I’d seen in a while. Can’t wait to read more from this author
