The Duke's Reluctant Bride

The glitter of Restoration England is expertly evoked in Royal's latest romance, the third to feature a member of the Chase family. Liberally laced with intrigue and danger, the book's quicksilver plot is nicely counterbalanced by the passionately detailed romance. —Booklist (American Library Association)

…brings 17^th Century England vividly alive…passionate…fast-paced and filled with action from the first page to the climax. —Midwest Book Review

The Duke's Reluctant Bride is a tremendous Restoration romance. The storyline runs quite deep due to the lead couple. Trick is a captivating protagonist with major problems, but it is the likable and honest Kendra who makes the storyline flow. Her simply asking Trick what bothers him rather than the usual leap to a false conclusion is incredibly refreshing and yet never slows down the pace of the plot. The return of the stars from the previous tales add depth and warmth to a strong conclusion to a powerful tale that is clearly part of a royal flush. —Harriet Klausner (5-star review!)
