Synopsis

James, the scandalously uncivilized Duke of Harland, requires a bride with a spotless reputation for a strictly business arrangement. Lust is prohibited, and love is out of the question.

Charlene Beckett, the unacknowledged daughter of an earl and a courtesan, has just been offered a life-altering fortune to pose as her half-sister, Lady Dorothea, and win the duke's proposal. All she must do is:

Be the perfect English rose (Ha!)

Breathe, smile, and curtsy in impossibly tight gowns (blast Lady Dorothea's sylph-like figure)

Charm and seduce a wild duke (without appearing to try)

Keep said duke far, far from her heart (no matter how tempting)

When secrets are revealed and passion overwhelms, James must decide if the last lady he should want is really everything he needs. And Charlene must decide if the promise of a new life is worth risking everything . . . including her heart.

Contains mature themes.

4'5 Estrellas en realidad, si no le pongo las 5 es porque ha tenido algunos detalles inverosímiles que me han chirriado; pero en general ha sido una historia deliciosa con la que he disfrurado mucho. Se hecha muchísimo de menos que ya no se publiquen éste tipo de novelas en castellano, y si llegan es......more

Goodreads review by Magdalena aka A Bookaholic Swede on June 19, 2016

I think I have finally figured out what kind of historical romance work for me: rom-com just like with movies. Well, in this case, it's a historical rom-com (a his-rom-com?). Anyway, How the Duke Was Won turned out to be quite good just because it was so bloody funny now and then. I quite liked the......more

Favorite Quote: "I'm going to kiss you," he breathed in her ear. "You have exactly three seconds to leave. I advise you to leave." He waited a moment. "Please leave." (She doesn't leave...there could be hot kissing that follows) Debut author alert! Adorable book alert! With his brother and father dead,......more
