janpuls 's review for:
The Duke and I
by Stacy Reid
4.5 Stars
Miss Emmaline Fitzgerald is twenty five & used to enjoy life to the full until a curricle race left her badly injured & it was feared that she wouldn’t walk again but determination & strength of will allowed her to recover well enough to walk albeit with a stick. She’s also been in love with Elliot Winthrop the local doctor’s son but then Elliot finds that he’s the Duke of Hartford. So Emma plans a daring seduction of the notorious duke at a masquerade ball. One night of sin, stolen pleasure and irresistible passion, that was all it was supposed to be & left them both wanting more
A short novel that had me engrossed, the characters were well developed & the attraction between Elliot & Emma sizzled. However I loved that Emma had fought all odds to recover but was still afraid to live & it took Elliot to finally open her eyes. The ballroom scene had me welling up, his faith & love for her was so touching. I read this on a train journey & wanted my journey to be longer so that I could have finished it in one sitting!
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
