These books were fun, fresh and equally sweet as they were sexy! Simply what I love in a good regency series. What I also loved was their twists–they weren’t easily predictable which was great. Because I have encountered some of these tropes before and I was worried they were going to be carbon copies-NOT THE CASE AT ALL! These aspects gave each book a flare for entertaining dramatics that kept me interested and pressing forward. While these are romances at their core, you do have the mystery/suspense elements. It give these characters a unique flare that provides a fantastic entertainment base for the readers besides a corset busting romance (which it does have in the right amounts as well). Here, we get Victorian era “Olivia Popes” (Scandal TV series) who fix people’s messes like nobody’s business. One of my favourite aspects of a connected romance series is an overarching plot or theme throughout all the novels, even though the leads change for each. Oh, and Kelly Bowen is Canadian and I love supporting my fellow Canadian authors in any way that I can! The Concept: So while I had never read Duke of my Heart (which was easily rectified thanks to my public library), the synopsis for both novels sounded great and I couldn’t wait to get started with them. While most of the series on my blog are YA or NA, I do LOVE a good historical romance especially of the regency kind. When Forever asked if I was interested in reading A Duke to Remember, I didn’t hesitate to say yes.

# of Books: 3 (Duke of my Heart, A Duke to Remember, Between the Devil and the Duke) SERIESous’ Top Picks: Canadian Author Fave Historical Romance Series It’s just like his love for her, imperfect, unexpected-yet absolutely true. Her dark eyes are too wide, her mouth is too full, her cheekbones too sharp. Max has never in all his life met a woman with such nerve.

As though this sort of thing happened on the job every day. Miss Moore treats the crisis as though it were no more serious than a cup of spilt tea on an expensive rug. Now he’s at the mercy of the captivating Miss Ivory Moore of Chegarre & Associates, known throughout London for smoothing over the most dire of scandals. But he’s returned home from his latest voyage to find a naked earl-quite inconveniently deceased-tied to his missing sister’s bed. Synopsis for Duke of My Heart (from Goodreads):Ĭaptain Maximus Harcourt, the unconventional tenth Duke of Alderidge, can deal with tropical storms, raging seas, and the fiercest of pirates.
