If I Only Had a Duke by Lenora Bell
5.0
A view week ago I read the first Lenora Bell book called ‘How the Duke Was Won’. I loved that book and I couldn’t get enough of it. So when I received the second book in the series ‘If I Only Had a Duke’ I couldn’t wait to start reading.
In ‘If I Only Had a Duke’ we meet Lady Dorothea. Thea has had a view failed seasons and is now happily living with her aunt in Ireland. Unfortunately for Thea she has to go back to London for a last season. Thea knows this is just a waste of her time. No one would want to marry the girl who can’t even talk to a man! But Thea decides to make the most of her time back in London and tries to talk to Dalton, the Duke of Osborne to convince him to give her access to his late father’s art collection. But the Duke has other plans and soon Thea is one of the most popular girls of the season.
I really loved Lady Dorothea. She was this shy girl on the outside, but when we got to know her better she was very smart, kind, brave and definitely a little feisty. I loved the way she fought to break free of her suppressive family.
Dalton was this supposed ‘bad’ guy. But I soon realized there was so much more to his character. I especially liked how protective Dalton was of Thea. It was so sweet.
And the conversations between Thea and Dalton where very entertaining. I loved reading about their discussions and how frustrated Dalton got with Thea. It definitely made me laugh out loud!
‘If I Only Had a Duke’ was a great story. Not only is it very romantic, and definitely sexy.. There’s also enough action and adventures going on to keep you hooked to the pages. I read this book in one day because I just couldn’t stop reading. The main characters Thea and Dalton have an amazing chemistry and it was so much fun to get to know these two characters.
Lenora Bell did another great job and I can’t wait to read the third book in the Disgraceful Dukes series.
