The first book in the new series Desperately Seeking Duke from USA Today bestselling and RITA award-winning author Caroline Linden.
It’s no love match…
Bianca
Tate is horrified when her sister Cathy is obliged to accept an offer of
marriage from Maximilian St. James, notorious rake. Defiantly she helps Cathy
elope with her true love, and takes her sister’s place at the altar.
It’s not even the match that was made…
Perched
on the lowest branch of his family tree, Max has relied on charm and cunning to
survive. But an unexpected stroke of luck gives him an outside chance at a
dukedom—and which Tate sister he weds hardly seems to matter.
But could it be the perfect match?
Married
or not, Bianca is determined to protect her family’s prosperous ceramics
business, even when Max shows an affinity for it—not to mention a dangerous
ability to intrigue and tempt Bianca herself. And when Max realizes how
beautiful and intelligent and desirable Bianca is, he’ll have to prove he’s no
rogue, but the passionately devoted husband she craves…
Customer Reviews
He's calculating and self serving.
He's calculating and self serving.
She's a spitfire.
The premise is that a dukedom is at stake and there's several potential heirs.
Max is one of those potential heirs, but so far, he's lived a self serving, calculating life of saving his own behind.
This time, he plans to wed a biddable girl and secure a comfortable living and home, That particular girl is Cathy, who runs off with another man and leaves behind her younger, fiery sister Bianca to wed Max.
I really liked Bianca, who was fiery and worked in the family's pottery business and knew it inside out, except she had to wed Max since her father gave him a quarter of her business. Men.
Obviously, she doesn't take to him right away, although Max finds her desirable.
Equal parts Pride and Prejudice and the Taming of the Shew, it was an enjoyable Sunday afternoon read, though I found I really did not ever warm up to Max. He was very hard to connect with, as he was so self serving and arrogant.
Lovely!
Caroline Linden writes such beautiful stories! This may be one of her best.
Love 💕 so sweet
