What the Duke Wants by Amy Quinton

5.0

Flying prawns!! This story boasts moments of rue levity and humour, from flying prawns (you’ve got to read it to believe it) to a rascally dragon with an umbrella. Grace Radclyffe was not raised for society, ridiculed by the only family she had left and unmistakably clumsy. When she falls in a puddle of mud thinking no one is around, she is surprised by the handsome man who comes to her rescue. Only to find out he is the Duke of Sundridge and is intended for her horrible cousin. Despite that fact, attraction still flares between the two, resulting in a story of attraction and denial that can only end one way. Add in the intrigue of the Duke’s fathers murder and his quest for answers and you have one madcap ride of longing and the search for truth. Quinton has a humour that underlies all her writing, and can often be seen hidden in even the most serious situations. A pleasantly enjoyable book!
