Description
#1 in The Dukes’ Pact Series—six dukes take dire steps to force their heirs to marry, while those heirs fight just as hard to remain bachelors. A sweet regency romance. Read for Free in Kindle Unlimited!
Lord Hampton cursed his luck. Six dukes were in league together to force their sons to marry, and one of them was his own father. The old men had drawn up a formal pact, with severe consequences to their heirs included. Edwin is determined to devise a way out of it, he has no intention of marrying any time soon. He’s also desperate to get his name off the ton’s lips. Mamas are circling like hunters round a wounded stag and every pert little miss is fanning herself.
Cassandra Knightsbridge, only daughter of Viscount Trebly, has not had a very usual upbringing. She rides like the devil, leaving her groom far behind…if she bothered to take a groom at all. More alarming, there would be few gentlemen who could best her with a fowling piece. Of course, she knows those particular habits will not find approval in a London drawing room and ought not be mentioned. That is, until a condescending lord provokes her.
Might not a tale of a girl who shoots turn society’s attention away from the dukes’ pact? The whispers wind their way through drawing rooms and the talk about Miss Knightsbridge blooms.
Edwin’s love for the lady blooms too, but now he’s made it impossible to win her.

Jessica J, Reviewer
Despite what you might suspect from the cover and title, this was a surprisingly wholesome read. Atmospheric and charming and every bit as authentic to the Regency era as can be, this was everything I wanted in a historical romance. A smartly paced plot with well defined characters set against the backdrop of the infamously critical London society. Everything about the narrative felt deliberate, structured, balanced by plot buildup and inner monologue. Of the many historical romance titles I've read, this one had dialogue that felt most fitting and natural for the era. The romance was sweet and a rather reigned in depiction of courtship in comparison to others within the genre - and for that I was pleasantly surprised.
Thank you to netgalley for providing a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
