The Wedding Duel by Katy Madison is a fantastic historical romance.  Ms. Madison has provided readers with a well-written book loaded with outstanding characters.  Keene is told by his father that he won't inherit any properties other than the entailed estate.  Instead his cousin Sophie will inherit everything else.  Sophie's a country girl with strict parents and has been crazy about her cousin Keene her whole life.  Sophie and Keene's story is loaded with drama, misunderstandings, humor, action, sizzle and suspense.  I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from Katy Madison in the future.  The Wedding Duel is book 1 of the Dueling Pistols Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

  *sighs* The reviews for this weren't so great with both characters being called fools and dumb. Perfect for my TSTL Bingo square.... 

I really enjoyed this story. Barnabas is a smart man when it comes to crime solving. He is distracted by Henry from the get go, and his smarts seem to get jumbled. Henry is a female reporter, trying to prove herself in a man's world. The two work well together, but his job as an inspector for Scotland Yard means he should not be talking to her at all, let alone falling in love with her. There is humorous dialogue, and Henry is a very strong, independent woman with a past that distorts her focus. She learns about love and how to look with a more critical eye from Barnabas. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the rest of this series.

I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Lord Coleraine's Scandalous Offer is my first book by Katy Madison.  This book is well written with lovable characters, action and heat.  Brody and Tessa's story is a wonderful read.  I look forward to reading more from Katy Madison in the future.  Lord Coleraine's Scandalous Offer is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
