A WONDERFUL READ !!,
By Billiejo (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Marry A Duke (Mass Market Paperback)
TOO WOO A DUKE is a wonderful, light hearted love story. Debbie Raleigh's ability to add humor, wit, and sensuality is pure magic. I laughed a lot at the antics and the witty dialogue in this story. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Raleigh's books.
Sandy Blair has outdone herself again. THE ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS is a captivating love story that is heart warming, charming, and humorous. I was not able to put this book down until I read the last page. The secondary characters added a lot of flair and made the story even more interesting. I found myself laughing out loud quite a bit while reading it. Ms. Blair has a magical ability to create a love story laced with sensuality and humor. I am anxiously waiting for Ms. Blair's next book. Regan Allen did a beautiful job with this magical story. A TOUCH OF MAGIC is a charming and heart-felt story. I was rooting for Tess the whole way. She is a lovely creature that is pure of heart. Ms. Allen did a wonderful job with adding light to a young man who saw his responsibilities as a bleak world. I also look forward to reading more of Ms. Allen's books. HOW TO MARRY A DUKE is a fantastic read! I enjoyed each one of the short stories in this anthology. All three of these stories left me breathless. They are charming, witty and magical. I could not put this book down. I did not want these captivating stories to end. I highly recommend this book to everyone. This is definitely going on my keeper's shelf. Reviewed by Billie Jo Romance Junkies

Amusing historicals with a bit of social conscience,

This review is from: How To Marry A Duke (Mass Market Paperback)
When her aunt loses her dowry to a marriage fraud, crusading journalist Shevon Quinn decides to right the wrongs and help her aunt recover the fortune. She signs up for the 'marry a duke' course and follows the instructions. Unfortunately for her plans, though, this particular duke isn't responding to the lessons, he's responding to Shevon. Now how is she supposed to prove that the class is a fraud when she has a duke wrapped around her little finger (and around a lot more, as well)?
Unemployed, ex-governess Rachel O'Leary breaks into an empty London house and supports herself and her Irish family with her baking skills. But when long-travelling Duke Connor Kenroe returns home from Egypt, he figures he can blackmail Rachel into helping with his plans--plans that have nothing to do with her Irish relatives and everything to do with his own goals of rebuilding his ancient ducal estates in Scotland. The pretend engagement would have been bad enough if Rachel didn't find herself responding to the sexy Scot--and wishing she could turn pretend into reality. Stephen Anthony needs to marry and father children. He's picked a suitable wife and waits only her arrival to propose. But then a beautiful sprite dances into his life--claiming to be Tess, Lady of the Forest, and his fated bride. Stephen is a realistic man, and he doesn't believe in fairies, exactly. Still, the attraction he feels toward the stacked sprite is nothing short of magical. How is he supposed to be happy with a suitable wife when the fates have brought him something so special. In a trio of historical novellas, authors Debbie Raleigh, Sandy Blair, and Regan Allen tell tales of strong women who drive to their goals--picking up the loves of their lives as they go--and none of the dukes knows what hit them. I was surprised and pleased to see a hint of social conscience in all three of these stories about marrying the top of the British Aristocracy. Shevon worked as a journalist, reporting on the follies of the rich and trying to help the down-trodden. Rachel breaks with aristocratic tradition and goes into 'trade,' and Tess worries about sheep grazing which destroyed the traditional Scotish clan structure and converted common lands to privately owned enclosures during the 19th century. Mixing glamour with a bit of reality adds some depth to these amusing novellas.

Hooray for Sandy Blair - another great story! The Best!,
By BestWeddingSites.com "Editor" (National) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Marry A Duke (Mass Market Paperback)
Sandy Blair's The Accidental Duchess is one of 3 novellas in the anthology How To Marry a Duke. You know a story is going to be a good one when the author has you hooked by the 2nd page. And Sandy Blair did just that in The Accidental Duchess, just as she had done in her novel A Rogue in a Kilt - which I recently finished reading and also highly recommend.
In The Accidental Duchess, Rachael, a destitute governess, find shelter in what appears to be a townhouse that has been left unoccupied for the winter months. But, when the owner, Connor, the eighth Duke of Kilgory, returns and finds Rachael asleep in his bed - the story quickly grabs your interest even more. It's guaranteed you won't want to stop reading until you've finished the story. Sorry, I can't say anymore, you'll have to grab a copy of the book and find out what makes Sandy Blair's writing style so special and unique. The two other novellas in this anthology are To Woo a Duke by Debbie Raleigh and A Touch of Magic by Regan Allen.
