Well, that has changed and while I have plans to redo my blog, I wanted to share this post because it is a MUST READ!!
Yes, this is book 9(!), but don't let that deter you! I'm usually one of those "I must read every book in order" readers, but it wasn't a problem with A Duke Like No Other at all!
Summary
First comes love, then comes marriage. Unless it’s the other way around. . .
General Mark Grimaldi has sacrificed everything for his military career, working his way
through the ranks without the benefit of a nobleman’s title. Now, his years of dedication are about to
pay off—with an offer for a prestigious promotion to Home Secretary.
There’s only one condition: Mark must be married. Aside from the small matter of not actually
wanting to be wed, Mark faces another troubling problem: he already has a wife.
Nicole Huntington Grimaldi has spent ten contented years in France without her husband—
and without regret. When Mark asks her to return to London and play the part of his beloved wife,
she sees her chance. But neither of them is prepared for news that will throw Mark’s future into
chaos…nor the undeniable desire they’ve rekindled. Maybe happily-ever-after can happen the
second time around in A Duke Like No Other, the next Regency romance from Valerie Bowman.
Valerie Bowman’s Playful Brides novels are:
“Wholly satisfying.”—USA Today
“Smart and sensual…readers will be captivated.”—RT Book Reviews
"Smoldering.” —Booklist
