She is referred to as sturdy a couple of times, but her waist is described as “trim” so not a real curvy gal. That was a sweet and steamy book, and I enjoyed the brief sprinkles of angst; I read it cover to cover in an evening but still, I was hoping for some real insecurity and self-doubt. (3.5 stars) Tessa Dare is a new to me author. The sneak peek chapters sucked me in and I had to see what happened next. It wanders a little toward the end, but all and all I found the story to be a delight. If you want a funny, Jane Austen-ish style read, then give her a try. I liked it enough to pick up Goddess of the Hunt. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A handsome and reclusive horse breeder, Spencer Dumarque, the fourth Duke of Morland, is a member of the exclusive Stud Club, an organization so select it has only ten members-yet membership is attainable to anyone with luck. And Spencer has plenty of it, along with an obsession with a prize horse, a dark secret, and, now, a reputation as the dashing "Duke of Midnight." Each evening he selects one lady for a breathtaking midnight waltz. But none of the women catch his interest, and nobody ever bests the duke-until Lady Amelia d'Orsay tries her luck. In a moment of desperation, the unconventional beauty claims the duke's dance and unwittingly steals his heart. When Amelia demands that Spencer forgive her scapegrace brother's debts, she never imagines that her game of wits and words will lead to breathless passion and a steamy proposal. Still, Spencer is a man of mystery, perhaps connected to the shocking murder of the Stud Club's founder. Will Amelia lose her heart in this reckless wager or win everlasting love?

This was a delightful romance - though the author did not land the ending, imo. It became a bit messy and rushed but otherwise a really enjoyable read.
I really liked Spencer - he gives me SBD vibes and SBD is one of my faves :) I also liked Amelia - I enjoyed her will and dedication to her family and those she loves. I think her devotion to her brother Jack is similar to many folks who love someone experiencing addiction (to gambling, drinking, etc etc). ALSO - I love that all the women in the book seem to have the same opinion of the ridiculous name of the ridiculous club lol
I am interested if we hear about Spencer's ward - what she chooses and how those around her support her. Looking forward to the next in the series!
