When I Met my Duchess

When I Met My Duchess is a fabulous historical romance by Caroline Linden. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Linden has provided readers with a well-written book populated with a phenomenal cast of characters. Gareth is the Duke of Wessex and after meeting Helen, he had his cousin make the arrangements for their wedding. Cleo is a widow, shop owner and Helen's sister. There's plenty of drama, humor, spice and suspense in this story. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from Caroline Linden in the future. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger I voluntarily read a complimentary copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Loved The Duke, Gareth is just my type! Loved Cleo, short for Cleopatra, and her Sister Helen, a beautiful English Rose! Which one will be choose? I highly recommend! Thanks! Enjoy!

What is an honourable Duke to do when he discovers that he has chosen the wrong bride? In this short but delightful Regency romance, star crossed lovers find themselves in the untenable situation of having to go through with a wedding that will only bring heartache and disappointment. Gareth's noble attitude towards duty and his intended reveals the true nature of his character, even at the expense of the love he feels for Cleo. She is already the black sheep of the family and despite her strong feelings for Gareth, Cleo would never do anything to hurt her sister. Cleo's social climbing, rapacious parents are a stumbling block, but when the dam bursts there is no holding them back from their viciousness. Although a fairly short novelette, one that can be read in an evening, it is nevertheless an enjoyable romance and comes to the right conclusion.
