The Duchess Hunt The Duchess Hunt

Publisher Description

One of Amazon’s Best Romances for October 2021

New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath continues her Once Upon a Dukedom series with this lush love story of a duke who discovers what he desires in a wife may not be what he needs…

Hugh Brinsley-Norton, the Duke of Kingsland, is in need of a duchess. However, restoring the dukedom—left in ruins by his father—to its former glory demands all his time, with little room for sentiment. He places an advert encouraging the single ladies of the ton to write why they should be the one chosen, and leaves it to his efficient secretary to select his future wife.

If there exists a more unpleasant task in the world than deciding who is to marry the man you love, Penelope Pettypeace certainly can’t imagine what it might be. Still, she is determined to find the perfect bride for her clueless, yet ruthlessly charming employer.

But when an anonymous note threatens to reveal truths best hidden, Kingsland has no choice but to confront the danger with Penelope at his side. Beguiled by the strong-willed, courageous beauty, he realizes he’s willing to risk everything, including his heart, to keep her safe within his arms. Could it be the duchess he’s hunting for has been in front of him all along?

Outstanding

Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for more of this series. It captured my attention and held it throughout the book. I require a good problem , be it a mystery , good murder or kidnapping not the sweet little lavender fluff the popular Brigerton books have but a real problem. It adds so much meat to a story that grabs your attention and this is exactly what Lorraine Heath has done again. I loved seeing hopefully more stories come from new characters introduced. Hurry with the next book please!!!

This was a slow and steady book, the H and h were a great compliment to each other. Unfortunately, this book had a tendency to drag on and on….and on. Could have been 150 pages shorter. And the ending was anticlimactic and predictable. It was just ok. Towards the middle the author changed who the H was and it messed with the flow of the book IMO.
