The Duke in Question

Daring Dukes, Book 2

By: Amalie Howard

Narrated by: Hedra Knight

Lady Bronwyn Chase is far from the paragon of society that her mother expects her to be. That's how she finds herself on her brother's passenger liner bound for America carrying a secret packet of letters that could get her into trouble—the kind of trouble that a duke's sister shouldn't be in, the kind that puts spymaster Valentine Medford, the Duke of Thornbury, on her trail. Serious trouble. But as the duke gets closer to Bronwyn and the secrets she's keeping, he'll have to decide between the mysterious woman who calls to him or his allegiance to the Crown.

A fun, sexy ride, but.....

I tried to love it but couldn't get past a few things. I wish Bronwyn's backstory fit her actions! She is a very capable spy despite having no training?? And she's very knowledgeable and good at many lewd (but fun and juicy😉) sex acts because she read a Gothic novel??? I love that she goes toe to toe with retired spy Thornbury, but out maneuvering him constantly was implausible. Her overtly sexual nature was both refreshing and unbelievable. A few extra paragraphs to make the puzzle pieces fit would have made all the difference.

Enjoyed the series

Book 1 and 3 had the best narration. Enjoyed the entire series. Loved the characters and that the stories took place mostly outside of the usual London events.

The story was amazing!

I like the strong female lead and nonstop action. and it was well read. I loved the smart whit of the characters and their chemistry.

Super Sexy & Strong Heroine

Hero was swoon worthy & heroine was phenomenal. Hero's transformation in light of heroine'scleverness was satisfying. She was strong, smart, & sexy with enough pride to hold back feelings & enough maturity not to act like a ninny. He was strong enough & honorable enough to let heroine be herself while protective & jealous enough to draw her in. Well done.

Narrator did not overly dramatize & make the graphic sex scenes weird or the adventure/intrigue childish. The plot & spy dances were excellently woven into a love story for a non-traditional couple and the dance proved them a perfect match. What more could you ask in a HEA? Not much. Maybe an epilogue where they are non-traditional parents? IDK. I recommend this as-is. You'll enjoy it, provided youre not put off by lots of sex & clever sexual inuendo.

Loved it

Great book and narrator. The intrigue and ties into history are very clever. Wish there were more books in this series.
