I looked forward to this one ever since the “Mad Marquess” made his first appearance. I’m glade Gertrude got her happily-ever-after and that Stephen found his real father and got to keep his adoptive family as well. The story was enjoyable and entertaining. The passion good and the pace steady. It isn’t my favorite in the series, but I wasn’t bored with it and I enjoyed watching the characters grow and forgive and heal. Overall good story and strong characters.

I took a gamble on less than perfect and it ran away with my heart. Emma and the Earl is an adventure in romance. Holt continues to captivate with unique characters, witty dialogue and the sweetest romances. Emma and her Earl are proof that the most precious treasure is what resides within.

'Julia and the Duke' by Samantha Holt is Book Two in the "Bluestocking Brides" series. This is the story of Lady Julia Chadwick and Guy, Duke of Weston. I have read the previous book "Amelia and the Viscount" but feel this can be a standalone book. With that said...I must say this is a great series and you might not want to miss in it! This book has about 120 pages...so it a nice easy read!
Julia is the oldest of the Chadwick sister. Julia too is a Bluestocking who loves to study animals and has been watching Otters and their mating habits. Julia was just about to witness their new babies when Guy comes out of the woods and scared them away. Once Julia got her voice from the shock of his good looks....she let him have a piece of her mind. Guy thought she was injured or attacked at first...Guy hasn't ever seen a women willing to get dirty it seems.

They have a very funny bickering meeting that just makes you want to plow through this book and read their happy ever after. I so love this sisters in the book and just can't wait for more stories by Ms. Holt!
Loved it!!!
