Synopsis

Susannah Fletcher has everything a young lady could desire: wealth, the attentions of well-to-do duke, and a reputation as spotless as an angel's petticoats. Yet, she would throw it all away for one opportunity to perform her music on stage–scandalous as that may be. Which is precisely when the rich and menacing "Wolf of Mayfair" makes her an offer she couldn't possibly refuse . . .

Born on the streets of London, Rafe Winters knows only ruthless ambition. But he's missing one thing: respectability. It's within reach . . . if he can draw the polished aristocrats to his establishment with a classically trained musician, and just a soupçon of mystery—like the flame-haired Susannah. Of course, he'll have to make it worth her while. After all, he's not a complete beast.

Now Susannah performs in a red cloak as the enigmatic "Red Duchess," and all of London is entranced—along with Rafe. He promised her he'd do everything to protect her reputation on stage. But off-stage, the wolf is waiting for Susannah to stray from the path and into his arms. No matter the risk . . .

Contains mature themes.

3.5 stars. I felt like the ending was bit of a let down because I thought he would grovel and make the big declaration of love. I also thought she would pursue her dreams as well. Overall, still a solid story.......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on November 21, 2023

The Duchess and the Wolf is super sexy and filled with plenty of steam! Rafe is a working class hero and a bit of a bad boy. Susannah just wants to play her piano and find her way in the world. They were amazing together, and their love was scorching hot. This was my first book by this author, and I......more

Rating: 2.5 stars I want to start off by saying that I LOVED Lydia Drake's first book. I was really looking forward to reading this one. However, by the time I got around to reading it, I was not in the mood to read historical romance. But since it was releasing, I pushed through. I am honestly a lit......more
