Book Overview

USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this delightful spin on Shakespeare's classic, The Taming of the Shrew.

This time, who's taming whom...

Cassandra Pomfret holds strong opinions she isn't shy about voicing. But her extremely plain speaking has caused an uproar, and her exasperated father, hoping a husband will rein her in, has ruled that her beloved sister can't marry until Cassandra does.

Now, thanks to a certain wild-living nobleman, the last shreds of Cassandra's reputation are about to disintegrate, taking her sister's future and her family's good name along with them.

The Duke of Ashmont's looks make women swoon. His character flaws are beyond counting. He's lost a perfectly good bride through his own carelessness. He nearly killed one of his two best friends. Still, troublemaker that he is, he knows that damaging a lady's good name isn't sporting.

The only way to right the wrong is to marry her...and hope she doesn't smother him in his sleep on their wedding night.

Follow up to Duke in Shining Armour

Typical Loretta Chase - dry, witty, excellent narration and dialogue, and engaging characters. This is a direct follow up to Duke in Shining Armor, following Ashmount’s subsequent ‘adventures’. In Ashmont we have a character we have seen in other Chase books, but he is no less engaging for that, while his lady’s character we have also seen before in books like Lord of Scoundrels. Thoroughly entertaining, no one dies or is captured by the enemy. Just a great lighthearted read. Not as humorous as some of her work and by no means her best, but as the ‘best of Loretta Chase’ also means the absolute best in this genre, this is not the criticism it might appear. My only disappointment was the lack of resolution of Blackwood’s fate - hopefully the next book?
