The Last Duke - Deborah Wilson

By

In this book, the last of the Curbains find love.  Valiant has helped her brothers, Hero, Lore and Asher find their soul mates, but during the stories, her husband died in a fire while she was at her brother's home in the country. 

Now, she has finished mourning and still faced a deal she made with the Duke of Cartelle way back in the first book, The perfect lady.  Valiant promised to find Cartelle a wife or spend a night with him should she fail. If only he would set his claim on Beatrix aside so she could marry Hero.

Cartelle had already decided to let Beatrix go and was so taken by Valiant that he could not resist making a deal with her.  The only problem is that Cartelle wants Valiant for his wife.  She comes to care for him, but the label of a murderer still hangs over Anthony's head, and when the gossip rags link his name with the Lords who have gone missing, the Curbain brothers do not want him for their sister.  Then one of their friends go missing, and an intriguing mystery unfolds.

I still like this series because it has enough sexual tension to make the relationships real. Still, the books are written without explicit sexual content, which may disappoint some readers; however, these books are a wonderful asset for the young girls who are starry-eyed about romance and the Regency period.

I would gladly recommend these books to young adult readers and those of us who do not want all the graphic detail.

Enjoy your reading

If you know the words 'Please sir may I have some more, you also know who said it and which book.  Oliver Twist, to some, is the best known of Charles Dickens' books.  Yes, A Tale of two cities and Great Expectations are also well known but did not honour being made into a Disney Animated Film or a musical. As with many books, the title character is not always the one that people end up liking.  In the case of Oliver Twist , the Artful Dodger is the character that steals the show and how appropriate for Terry Pratchett to take this lovable character and give him the Pratchett makeover. Those of us who have read the Discworld novels and novels such as Nation  know that anything is possible once Pratchett has taken a character into his world.  For some, it might be disappointing to realize that there was nothing magical in Dodger .  That is to say nothing magical as in the Discworld novels. Knowing who Dodger is and knowing the brilli...
