Cute

Lighthearted and humorous, filled with stuff only a comedy of manners could provide. The London "ton" is eager to marry Tabitha off...but why so much haste? And of course a handsome Duke shows up to throw everyone, including Tabitha, into a tizzy. Excellent and fun read. ( )

Exceptional. Great characters, solid plot.

Tabitha Timmons, yet another spinster from Kempton, is the unlikely recipient of a fortune and needs a trustworthy friend badly.

Preston, the Duke of Preston, stumbles into her life at just the right time and needs all his ducal authority to straighten out this mess.

I loved the characters, their motivations were so believable, which made the final conclusion satisfying. I adored the richness of the friendships between Tabitha and Preston and between Tabitha and her friends from Kempton.

Very satisfying, warm fuzzies galore. ( )

"Along Came a Duke", and he was hiding his broken heart behind outlandishly rakish behavior. Christopher Seldon, Duke of Preston, is paving a path to Hell with less than good intentions. Miss Tabitha Timmons, a ward of some very selfish and demanding relatives, stands to inherit an unexpected fortune upon her marriage to a respectable suitor. Once Preston meets Tabby, he determines that she deserves so much more than life has handed her so far, and he decides to save her from a miserable fate. However, Tabby is no meek miss, accepting her lot without a thought for her own happiness. She has spirit, intelligence, and a beauty all her own. How could Preston not be drawn to her? As the two of them bicker, banter and bluster through one escapade after another, they also fall in love. Each of them comes into their own, and then they both realize that they want to grab all the happiness their hearts can hold. The game's on in this delightful Regency romance from author Elizabeth Boyle, with great humor and a poignant love story. Most enjoyable!

I LOVE this book. At first I was hesitant about it for some reason, maybe it didn't pick up the way I wanted to. But I ended up loving every single character and the whole story. ( )
