This historical romance has a very interesting plot with lots of intrigue and danger. It is a sweet romance where any action is left to our own imagination. The lead characters are brave and intelligent.
Unfortunately, I personally thought a bit more of the underhanded dealings could have been more exciting.

A beautiful series related to men of honor, loyalty and service to the Crown. Rockford has a responsibility to . maintain secrets for his country. Sadly, he must also keep them from Lola, an intelligent woman, who he finds himself attracted to. I would recommend reading the series in order, as some of the characters cross over into this tale. You will find suspense, romance, great banter and a villain woven into a entertaining story. Each book brings forth what we deeply wish for in both men and women related to intelligence, honor, respect and love.

This second book in Barrington's Brigade series was an exciting and well written historical romance about a group of men devoted to their king, country, and one another. It has drama, action, intrigue, mystery, danger, deception, and twists that kept me very engaged. I enjoyed their banter and chemistry. I highly recommend reading!

After enjoying the first book in this series, I looked forward to reading A Dilemma for the Duke. Unfortunately, I found my attention wandering, and much of the Duke of Rockford's motives for keeping secrets from Lady Lora left me puzzled. There is some suspense, with a snake in the grass, resulting in Rockford having to come to Lora's rescue, however, the drama was low-key.. Obviously, there is an attraction between Rockford and Lora, but even that is not terribly exciting. However, they do find their way to future happiness, and the felons are dealt with. I received a copy of this book as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley, and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Lady Lora has spent years forging her independence, dedicated to her work and determined to carve her own path. Marriage was never a priority until Duke Rockford returns to Sommer-by-the-Sea. Rockford is a man bound by duty, harbouring secrets that could shatter the fragile trust between them. As whispers of betrayal swirl and an unseen enemy threatens the very fabric of England’s security, he is forced to make an impossible protect the woman who has captured his heart or fulfil his mission before it’s too late.
The second book in the series & it could be read on its own but there are a lot of characters & reading previous books by the author would help. I liked both Rockford & Lora & there was chemistry between them but for me it didn’t sizzle. I did enjoy their banter & the way they worked together whilst falling in love. There was some mystery & intrigue. An enjoyable book which I enjoyed but didn’t love
I voluntarily read and reviewed a special copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own

Not much of a dilemma...

Great cover. But Lora and Rockford's relationship is littered with other troubles, mainly a plot to over throw the government. There's a lot of characters in this series.

okay, I love the dude on the cover. handsome. the story itself is meh, why meh, bacuse it was nothing new. it follows the usual script of a woman who is independent, a guy working for his country, they butt heads, work together, a few adventures, and fall in love. nothing special in the characters, writing, or story.

The second in the series of the Barrington Brigade, a group of men devoted to the country and each other.
Rockford is trying to solve a mystery veiled in the Order of Shadows.
He is also falling in love with Lora and does not want her to be in danger.
As he fights to do the right thing, he may have to deceive Lora.
But Lora is resilient and also tries to help as she cares for Rockford.
Action packed with some twists and revelations.
Good storyline.
