Synopsis

It is one thing to defy convention . . . but quite another to completely thwart it in the pursuit of insatiable desire.

His Grace, Martin MacGalloway, has well-earned the reputation as the most celebrated rake on the entire isle of Britain. But upon his father's sudden death, he heads for Scotland where he finds his inheritance in a shambles, his sisters without prospects, and his brothers relying on his patronage—and he's not about to conquer his problems alone.

Penniless, Lady Julia St. Vincent has no choice but to dress as a man and accept a position as steward to the Duke of Dunscaby. The more time she spends with the duke, the more difficult it is to ignore the flickers of passion smoldering in her heart.

While they work together to rebuild the Dunscaby dynasty, they travel to London where Martin takes it upon himself to introduce his sheltered steward to the world of manly pursuits. Julia falls from one mortifyingly compromising situation to another as she pines for a duke she can never have . . . until an old friend invites her to a masque. And there, it takes but one kiss for Martin to stop at nothing in his pursuit of the mysterious woman.

Contains mature themes.

2.5 Stars This is my first Amy Jarecki so I essentially went into this blind simply because 1) the title was great, and 2) the premise sounded fun. I’m sad to say that I found this mediocre and…novice-y. The story was juxtaposed by a relatively thorough Regency foundation and then lots of colloquial......more

I received “A Duke By Scot” e-book from NetGalley and Oliver Heber Books in exchange for my honest review. I didn’t realize I needed a Scottish historical romance until I read “A Duke by Scot”.

I love some of the characters names, such as Mode......more
