When I saw the cover and the name of this book the first thing i though was that i had to read it, and when i read the summary i couldn't wait to start it. But it wasn't as good as i thought it would be. The storyline and characters were good. I liked Emma and Julian but the story just didn't touch ...
I will give this book props because it is definitely more than a bodice ripping romance novel, however, I just couldn't get into it like I wanted to. I read a ton of other reviews and was hopping from what I had read that it would be more of an Outlander type adventure romance. It wasn't what I wa...
Brutally violent and heartbreakingly honest, a perfect love in imperfect times.
The Duke of Shadows is brilliant. Here I am on the morning of Thanksgiving compelled to write this review.

I'm very conflicted about this one. For the first 3/4ths it was one of the best books I'd ever read. Then the plotting went south on me and the story never really regained its initial hold on my emotions. I'd like to reread it someday.
Meredith Duran and I are just not meant to be. While she seems to be a skilled writer, I never know what her characters are on about. I liked the Duke of Shadows slightly better than the other one by her that I’ve read but still I think Ms Duran and I will just have to start seeing other people. It’...
