'I am a Duke. I'm not asking you to marry me. I am offering to marry you. It's a different thing entirely.'

When the Duke of Ashbury returns from war scarred, he realises he needs an heir - which means he needs a wife! When Emma Gladstone, a vicar's daughter turned seamstress visits wearing a wedding dress, he decides on the spot that she'll do.

His terms are...

OMG this was so much fun! I laughed and snorted out loud. I loved the characters so much, they were extremely likeable, especially the very ornery Duke. The way he has erected this shield of bad temper because he's so afraid of being treated poorly for his scars from war makes him such a great character. And the way Emma breaks through that wall was equally awesome. I loved her back story and her independence and everything about her. The romance and sexy times were good too - the ranged from the hilarious to the fan yourself good. Definite win! Eager to read more in the series.

Oh and the narration was great too!!
