bookishmya 's review for:

Second Duke's the Charm by Kate Bateman

4.0

---

This was an energetic and mad dash to love. A marriage of convenience that blossoms into immediate passion followed closely by love. Tess and Justin are the perfect compliment to each other, both are driven to better the lives of others and filled with passion and commitment. Their meeting and subsequent courtship was full of teasing, laughter and light, even transferring to the bedroom. Passion tempered with humour is the very best kind. Bateman’s writing always grabs me right from the start, kicks up my blood and fills my heart.
