Synopsis

A new duke and a woman with a secret in her past get a second chance at love in this delightful and charming Regency romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the Windham series.

Robert Rothmere is hiding a past no duke should have endured, but he's not hiding it well enough. Sooner or later, his enemies will learn that he spent years locked away at a private asylum. To get their hands on his wealth, they'll try to send him right back to his worst nightmares. If Robert is to foil their schemes, he needs to marry a perfectly proper, blessedly boring, deadly dull duchess, immediately -- and he knows exactly which quietly delightful lady he'd love to entrust with that role.

Lady Constance Wentworth has cultivated a reputation for utter forgettability. She never speaks out of turn (in public), never has a daring thought (that she admits aloud), and never comes close to courting scandal . . . as far as anybody knows. Her path crossed Robert's years ago, though, and she's never forgotten the extraordinary lengths he traveled to keep her safe when she hadn't a friend in the world. She longs to be his demure duchess . . . but little does he know that to marry her would be utter madness.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. His eyes...a mere pencil sketch would never do justice to a gaze that complicated. Rothhaven was both calm and turbulent. Distant and intensely present. To stud......more

Goodreads review by Debby *BabyDee* on September 22, 2020

The Truth About Dukes by Grace Burrowes gives me a bit of a disadvantage as I have never delved into the other 4 books in the series but am thankful I am given the opportunity to read this one. When I first started to read this story, my heart immediately dropped for Robert, the Duke of Rothmere and......more

Goodreads review by Vintage on May 19, 2021

I started listening to the audio and it was SOOOOO BOOORRRING! I think this was in part due to the narrator who sounded like Malthesar from Galaxy Quest at times. Lovable character but not one I want to narrate a love scene. Given the reviews I switched to a regular book, and the story was so much be......more

Goodreads review by Jan on July 14, 2021

Not my fav out of this series. I liked the sensitive manner in which the writer explored the difficulties and issues faced by the hero and heroine. The hero was epileptic in a time when many would have considered epilepsy=insanity. The heroine (view spoiler)[ had an illegitimate daughter when she was a teen, and t (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Leanne | Read Sweetly to Me on November 16, 2020

Actual rating: 4.5 Oh this one was such an improvement on book one for me! I think because my expectations were different and I knew going in that the book would be more character driven, and I ended up enjoying it a lot more. The Truth About Dukes is quite the emotional rollercoaster! This is the fi......more
