Her Mystery Duke is a fantastic historical romance, it is also an outstanding erotic romance together they are one of the better books out so far this year. Ms. Blackthore as always provides a pretty accurate historical while ramping up the romance to the hotter end of the spectrum.

Ms. Blackthorne gives us a wonderful independent heroine, Jeanne, who wants nothing more than to take care of herself and not lose her identity by becoming someones wife or mistress. David is everything you expect from a Regency era Duke but so much more, he is aloof and demanding at the same time very protective and understanding. By allowing the characters pasts to be unfolded throughout the story we are drawn deeper into them and understand there motivations and fears.

The BDSM in this book is of the light variety more bedroom bondage and some spankings no protocol, humiliation or Master/slave situations. We are treated to many extremely seductive sensual scenes throughout the book as we follow the relationship, political intrigue, class struggles as well as the forming of a unique bond between David and Jeanne.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Her Mystery Duke, by Natasha Blackthorne. This book gave me pleasure to reading a very erotic romance book. The leading characters, David and Jeanne has such strong and powerful roles. They will leave you begging for more. The drama.
The passion and the raw erotic love scenes plays out with wicked pleasure. How these two meet is all to romantic. David comes to Jeanne, believing her to be someone from his past. Jeanne tries to avoid him through the streets of London, but fate has other plans. Suddenly, David has been taken to Jeanne's home and their world wind love takes flight.
Through their relationship, they tread through rough times, that challenges them selves and the love that they have for one another. I would have liked for Jeanne to be a little older. There are some scenes from the book that I felt she played the immature woman. I also would have liked a little less of Jeanne being on her knees giving David pleasure. Other than that, I enjoyed this story. I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy.
