He has had to leave his life of privilege and learn how to navigate the wild streets of London, and this only makes him a more stronger and capable person who has a deeper understanding of the important things and relationships in life. I love our hero, he is smart, bold and strong. All thoughts and opinions are my own.I am in love with every aspect of this novel. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book through Netgalley and the publisher. The Return Of The Duke is a crowning jewel in an outstanding series. I was mesmerized by Marcus and Esme’s journey they took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Lorraine Heath’s ability to weave captivating, passionate, unique romance is incomparable. The return of the Duke is the third book in the Once Upon A Dukedom series.
I flew through this novel I couldn’t put it down. The book is intricate and intriguing, yet it moved fast and was easy to read. I didn’t guess the outcome until the end. There is a mystery angle that worked splendidly. The plot is unique as both characters are outside society, and each has specific burdens that affect their lives. Marcus and Esme’s spark is instantaneous and undeniable. I respected Esme and loved the many layers of her personality.
I could feel Marcus’ bitterness and anger towards his situation. The sensuality and physical connection is pure fire.
The two are sworn enemies yet find that fire and ice are combustible. Esme Lancaster has a plethora of secrets and a mysterious background. Marcus stays in the shady, criminal areas of society, disenchanted and alone with a vendetta for those complicit in his father’s guilt. Marcus Stanwick has been stripped of his title and has lost everything due to his treacherous father. The Return Of The Duke delivers this and more. It is rare to find a historical romance that defies convention, has an intriguing mystery, and off-the-chart chemistry.
