About the book...
STRATAGEM FOR THE RESTORATION OF RESPECTABILITY TO THE DUKE OF STANHOPE:
Step 1: Find perfect wife
Step 2: Save reputation from ruin
Step 3: Do not, at any cost, fall in love with Selina Ravenscroft
Peter Kent, newly inherited Duke of Stanhope, has developed quite the scandalous reputation - which must be overturned if he is to win the guardianship of his young half siblings.
For help he turns to Lady Selina Ravenscroft, society's most proper debutante (save one tiny secret...). She suggests courtship and marriage to a lady of unimpeachable character - which due to the aforementioned secret is definitely not Selina herself.
But her matchmaking goes awry when the scorching chemistry between them proves impossible to resist. For the disreputable duke and his unpredictable matchmaker, falling in love might just be the ultimate scandal...

Have I mentioned how much I adore Historical Romance? I mean a solidly written literary work in this genre has the ability to draw you into the past when times were simpler (even if freedoms weren't as plentiful), men were gentlemen (mostly), women were treasured (okay, not by all, but we're going with the status quo of the book world here), and love was just a miss taken step around the corner. The fact all of the aforementioned and then some are in this story made it all the sweeter, let alone the fact that we have a matchmaking gone wrong (...or did it? 😉) to build the anticipation, and secrets to uncover to keep up the intrigue. Suffice it to say, if you're a fan of the genre, you can't go wrong with this one.
From the newly titled duke's auspicious start (loved the trip to buy a rather unique gift for his sister!) to his quest to restore the family name (and the plan gone awry in the best ways possible!), and every moment in between, you'll be held by captive the heart strings as you smile, laugh, and swoon your way through the novel. If you're looking for your next read, I highly recommend this one for a weekend escape!
