   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  selsha | Apr 13, 2024 |    ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | Juliette, the Duchess of Dalliance, has a problem. The gossip rags keep linking her name to the Duke of Pelham, but she's never met the man. She needs to find a man to sponsor her, without the non-existent Duke in the wings. But then Juliette becomes entangled in a web of lies told by the Duke's fiancee. And the fictional romance between the Duke of Pelham and the Duchess of Dalliance becomes very real. Another tale of two damaged people finding salvation in each other's arms. The plot has some holes, doesn't bear close scrutiny. The characters are a bit cardboard, predictable. The dialogue is good, the setting unexceptional. ( ) Bookjoy144 | Mar 2, 2022 | So much action and intrigue, but also very hot and tender. Loved Will and Juliet! He was so starched and she so full of life, like a gulp of fresh air. Ah! What a book! (  ) VeraBkLover | Dec 18, 2021 | ) JorgeousJotts | Dec 3, 2021 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Every character is insufferable.
He's a duke who's too full of himself and claims to love her, but not only won't respect her he will also call her names.
She's a courtesan (aka a polite term for an expensive prostitute), and she's angry because he won't marry her (because, you know, she's a prostitute). But instead of explaining, she's just offended.
I just can't. It's a DNF.
There are too many good books out there to put up with this. (
