Seduction Of A Duke

Love and Devotion Series, Book 3

By: JR Salisbury

Narrated by: Mary Sarah

You never know when Cupid's arrow is going to strike....

Lady Cora Keats, the only daughter of the Duke of Dover, is not only beautiful, she's confident, self-assured, and sometimes a wee bit outspoken. She knows one day she'll have to marry and settle down - her father constantly reminds her. Cora has other plans - she doesn't want to marry...at least not now. She's grown into an independent woman with an occupation few women dare pursue. She cannot...no, she will not...give up a successful business for a man. Not even if he's an obscenely handsome duke who shares her interests.

Sebastian Steele, Duke of Hightower, was sought after by all the eligible young women. Tall, muscular, and stunningly good-looking, the former rake has quietly begun his search for a wife. Drawn by Lady Cora's uniqueness and confidence, he realizes through all their bickering there is something more lying beneath the surface.

Can these two opposites put aside their differences and work together for the greater good, or will pride and stubbornness rule?

Contains mature themes.

Engaging and fun

Excellent enemies-to-lovers story. The heroine is a sort of “horse whisperer” and runs a business training horses under her father’s name. The hero is an uptight duke with rigid ideas about how women should act.
It was entertaining to watch the main characters’ hostility towards each other gradually change to irresistible attraction. The author, J R Salisbury, wrote it in a subtle restrained way that was very believable and quite amusing.
This was the best book of her “Love and Devotion“ series. The plot is much tighter and the characters are more consistent than the previous book. Even the narrator Mary Sarah, seems to have improved in this book compared to the previous one. She toned down her overdramatic style slightly, although she’s still far from my favorite narrator.

Ok

The story is a creative storyline but not enough conflict and left the end with unanswered questions about other sub-plot introduced during the story, same thing for the other two books in the series. Left me unsatisfied at the end. Narrator is not my favorite, I always have to speed up the reading.
