I Dared the Duke (Wayward Wallflowers)

by Anna Bennett

[Lindsey Gray]

Alexander Savage, the Duke of Blackshire, is being hunted. Someone wants the Duke dead and he has no idea who. His best course of action is to get his beloved grandmother ensconced safely in the country. One thing is standing in his way, his grandmother’s new companion, Miss Elizabeth Lacey.

Beth and her sisters were dubbed the Wilting Wallflowers years earlier and the misconceptions were accepted by the ton. Yet Beth herself accepts the rumors about the most notorious lover in England, the Duke of Blackshire. A mistake she has trouble accepting throughout the novel. Beth assumes when Alex asks her to help her convince his grandmother to move to the country he just wants her out of his hair. We all know what assumptions get us.

Bennett weaves her way through romance and mystery to give us all one hell of a read. The concept of the three wishes Alex must grant his grandmother was outstanding. The things Alex does for her are nothing he wouldn’t do if his grandmother only asked, but with Beth around, he was able to gift them to her without suggestion. Beth and Alex set the pages on fire with their passionate banter and swoon worthy kisses. I Dared the Duke is a heart melting, pulse pounding love story sure to entice any historical romance lover!
