Publisher Description
Megan Frampton returns with the second book in the Hazards of Dukes series, a series that made Sarah MacLean say "Make Megan Frampton your next read!"
He needs a bride…
Nash, the “dangerous” Duke of Malvern, has always bristled against the rules of English society. Hot tempered and fearful of becoming like his brutish late father, he lives a life of too much responsibility and too little joy. And although he’s vowed to never marry, a duke has a duty—and there’s only one way to get himself an heir and a spare. So Nash reluctantly takes a look around at society’s available young ladies to see who might be willing to put up with his one-word answers and frequent glowers.
She longs for love…
After the death of her father and wicked stepmother, Ana Maria goes from virtual servant to lady-in-training, and while society life has its benefits—gorgeous gowns!—its restrictive rules stifle her sprit. And when her independent actions put her in danger, her half-brother insists Nash teach her some self-defense. While most of London’s ladies find Nash intimidating, she only sees a man who needs introducing to all the joys life has to offer. So although officially they are coming together for fighting lessons, unofficially their physical contact begins to blur the line between friendship and begins to grown into something more…
Customer Reviews
Love the Grumpy and Sunshine Vibe
I received an ARC of this book to read through Edelweiss+. All opinions are my own. Tall Duke and Dangerous is the second book in Megan Frampton’s delightful Hazards of Dukes series.
I recommend reading the books in order as you are introduced to the characters in this book in the first one. Lady Ana Maria Dutton feels betwixt and between no longer an unpaid servant in her nasty stepmother's household, she is about to take her rightful place as a Duke’s daughter in the marriage mart of the ton, but at age 27, she doesn’t feel like she belongs there either. Abandoned by his mother and raised by his abusive father Nash, Duke of Malvern has spent his life trying to rectify his father's misdeeds but fears that he has inherited the nasty temper that destroyed his childhood. His grandmother’s instance that he take a bride as the current heir to the dukedom seems to be cut from the same cloth as his father has him venturing in the marriage mart for the first time where he too feels entirely out of place. A Cinderella story with a friends to lovers and grumpy vs sunshine hero and heroine makes this book one that kept me reading long past my bedtime. I enjoyed it immensely. Steam Level: Medium.
