Publisher Description
From the USA Today bestselling author of The Untouchables series comes your next Regency obsession: The Spitfire Society... Meet the smart, independent women who’ve decided they don’t need Society’s rules, their families’ expectations, or, most importantly, a husband. But just because they don’t need a man doesn’t mean they might not want one.
Graham Kinsley is shocked when he inherits a debt-ridden dukedom, and now he has just one month to repay a loan. He needs an heiress—or find a way to recoup the former duke’s losses. When he meets the alluring Arabella, he’s entranced. Unfortunately, she’s as bankrupt as he is, but if they work together they may be able to recover their fortunes. Though if they keep stealing kisses, they may lose their hearts instead.
Arabella Stoke can’t afford an attraction to the penniless duke who has vowed to help rescue her family from financial devastation. She needs to find a wealthy husband before her father succumbs to the stress of losing everything. However, as Graham brings them closer to finding the swindler who stole their money, the war between what they want and what they need may ruin them both.

Love, butter biscuits and a dog equals happy
I received an ARC of this book to read in exchange for a fair review. Never Have I Ever With A Duke is the first book in Darcy Burke’s fun new series The Spitfire Society. Arabella Stoke’s family is in desperate straights because her father never the best money manager has lost all in a swindle. Her parents are desperate for her to make a good marriage as it is the only way to save the family from ruin. Graham Kinsley once a mere secretary, now the Duke of Halstead has inherited more headaches than he can count as the previous Duke was also swindled and he is going to lose a property that is very important to him to the banks and so he needs to marry a heiress. When they discover that both of their families were swindled by the same person they work together to try and find a way to get the money back because despite their growing attraction they cannot marry each other as things stand. I enjoyed this book very much and agree that love, butter biscuits and a dog make a happy life.

Together, they’re sweet and clueless and adorable
A destitute duke willing to do whatever it takes to save his family legacy. A penniless Miss desperate for a wealthy match to save her family from debtors’ prison. They’re the farthest thing from an answer to each other’s financial woes, but the heart wants what it wants. Graham and Arabella are refreshingly different characters for historical romance. She’s spirited and independent while being devoted to her family’s wellbeing. He’s a duke who grew up without knowing the first thing about how to be a peer himself. Together, they’re sweet and clueless and adorable. I would have loved to have seen a solution where they achieve all of their goals, but I like the realism of the sacrifices they make. I look forward to seeing what in store for the other Spitfires.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through NetGalley.

Once again Darcy Burke has hit a home run with her new series!
Arabella Stoke has no choice but to marry a man of means, it’s the only way to salvage their fortunes. Her father lost everything because of a swindler and her family is suffering because of it. Having no choice she tries to make the best of her situation. Until she meets Graham Kinsley.
Graham Kinsley never thought he’d one day become a Duke, his life has taken a spin. He’s a Duke with no money that needs to replenish the coffers. He needs to find the man that swindled the previous Duke or marry an heiress. Until he meets Arabella and he’s shocked to realize that their in the same boat . The attraction is mutual but both need a fortune to put things straight, they decide to help each other. But every time they’re together one kiss leads to another and their goal of recouping their losses takes second place. I loved Arabella and Graham their chemistry was real with witty dialogue. Loved to see them slowly fall in love and enjoyed the secondary characters. All in all this was a fantastic read that kept me engrossed in the plot. I’m never disappointed in anything Darcy Burke writes. Well done, and I highly recommend!
