Synopsis

After three failed seasons and a disastrous jilting, Lady Dorothea Beaumont has had more than enough of her family's scheming. She won't domesticate a duke, entangle an earl, or vie for a viscount. She will quietly exit to her aunt's Irish estate for a life of blissful freedom. Until an arrogant, sinfully handsome duke singles her out for a waltz, making Thea the most popular belle of the season.

The duke ruined her plans, and he'll just have to fix them.

Dalton, Duke of Osborne, is far too heartless for debutantes or marriage—he uses dalliances and public spectacle to distract from his real purpose: finding the man who destroyed his family. When his search leads to Ireland, the last thing he needs is the determined, achingly innocent Thea, who arrives in the dead of night demanding he escort her to her aunt. His foolish agreement may prove his undoing. The road to the Emerald Isle is fraught with unforeseen dangers, but the greatest peril of all might just be discovering that he has a heart . . . and he's losing it to Thea.

Contains mature themes.

Reseña completa: [URL not allowed] La trama sería 3, pero me lo he pasado bastante bien leyéndolo y tiene un giro final que me ha sorprendido! Lectura muy entretenida con personajes poco originales pero que, como pareja, tienen una relación con tiras y aflojas de las que me gust......more

I’m very dense so I didn’t know until I watched an author event last night that this was a Wizard of Oz spin on romance. It’s clearly obvious but I have zero street smarts. It was a fun road trip romance and I definitely think it’s best read after book one! Both characters were very lovable and made......more

Goodreads review by Magdalena aka A Bookaholic Swede on August 30, 2016

If I only had a Duke is the second book in The Disgraceful Dukes series. I read the first book, How the Duke Was Won, earlier this spring and I found it quite good. I'm very pleased to say that If I Only Had a Duke is just as funny to read as the first book in the series. I chuckled aloud several ti......more
