The Desires of a Duke: Historical Romance Collection
The Desires of a Duke: Historical Romance Collection - Darcy Burke,Grace Callaway,Lila DiPasqua,Shana Galen,Caroline Linden,Erica Monroe,Christina McKnight,Erica Ridley The Desires of A Duke unites some of the best authors in historical romance. It's sexy, adventurous, intriguing and exotic. Get ready to laugh, cry, and fall in love.

The Forbidden Duke is a lesson in redemption, forgiveness and trust. People find it so easy to judge others but take offense when on the receiving end. An inspiring message in a heartwarming package. (5 Stars)

The Duke's Accidental Wife - A cynic and a romantic, how could you not fall for these characters. Erica Ridley has turned the tables on the way romance is perceived with this one. Ravenwood is the ideal. A romantic at heart searching for the other half of his soul. I love that Ms. Ridley tried something different. She stayed true to her addictive stories but with a twist that was surprising and fantastic. (5 Stars)

The Misfortune of Lady Lucianna - Christina McKnight doesn't write victims, she creates heroines. Her female leads are spirited individuals with the brains to fight for themselves instead of playing the damsel in distress. The Misfortune of Lady Lucianna is a story of survival that romances, intrigues and captivates. (4 Stars)

Deepest Desires of a Wicked Duke - Sharon Page

Portia is a spinster.when Portia was younger Portia and The Duke Of Sinclair/Sin were in love and planning to marry. Buts in’s past got in the way and the wedding was called off. Ten years have gone by and Portia has dedicated her life to saving abused kids and brings the kids to a foundling home her family run. Sin has thrown himself into sex  of all kinds including orgies as he has a sex addiction. Sin even throws orgies that are  known to be the best orgies in London. But neither Portia nor Sin has forgotten or got over each other. Portia receives a message a girl needs help and is kidnapped. Sin gets a message Portia has been taken to Serenity Island and Sin must attend the orgy  there if he wants to save Portia. Sin is told a boat is waiting to take him to the island. On the island Sin finds a lot of people he has been involved with over the years. Then he finds Portia in the bedroom assigned to him. All the guest and a few of the servants have received notes to say they will pay for their sins. One by one the guests are being murdered. No one knows who the killer is.

I didn’t like this story . It just wasn’t for me. It was a very dark story with twists and turns. I believe there was just too much sex and kink for me. I think it went past erotica as far as  I am concerned. But I am sure there a lot of people who will love this story.

Deepest Desires of a Wicked Duke by Sharon Page
Deepest Desires of a Wicked Duke - Sharon Page

I was innocently perusing Netgalley when I accidentally stumbled upon this book. Somehow I hit request and now it is mine ;)

 

When I drafted this review I was too lazy to look up the title and saved the file as “The Randy Duke”. Now I know I haven’t read a historical romance in a long time but I don’t remember them being anything like this one. It starts out with the hero revisiting his path to self-destruction and involves a visit to a party where he walks in on his best friend who is doing a very naughty thing to a woman’s backside.

 

My how things have changed while I was away reading my innocent little horror tales!

 

If you’ve ever wondered what those stiff upper class historical romance gentlemen get up to when they leave the fancy ballrooms, this book fills in all the blanks in vivid detail!

Hell, if I had only known I may have been reading little else. Ahem. Anyway there is a story here. Let’s see if I can find it . . .

 

Portia, a firmly on-the-shelf spinster, is just living her life, saving orphans and such when one day she is kidnapped, brought to a secluded island and awakes to find herself stuck in a house where a non-step orgy is about to occur. Her innocent eyes are shocked by the sights she spies but also very, very intrigued. Especially when she sees her old flame and former fiancée, The Randy Duke or Sin, as he prefers to be called, is also milling about and is as handsome as ever.

 

Oh my. Betcha know where this is heading?

 

After he broke off his engagement with Portia, the supposed love of his life, for reasons, Sin has spent the past ten years throwing orgies and indulging his darker urges. But alas, when he sees Portia again he wants what he feels he doesn’t deserve because of his oh-so-dark and tainted past. As he struggles with those feelings, he does his best to keep her safe and figure out who kidnapped her and brought her to sex island. And then someone is murdered, smothered by boobs fergodssakes, and a game of super sexy Clue begins.

 

I’m not going to lie, this book is not going to be to everyone’s taste but I thought it was a joy to read. I’ve always loved the game of Clue and its over the top silly characters and this book seemed to take a lot of inspiration from it. There are greedy women, callous and arrogant men, a few misguided souls, quite a few murderous intentions and there’s a lot of kinky sex going on even as people continue to DIE. I basically loved it all. But I especially loved the complicated sexual tension between Sin and Portia. There was a lot of pain there for the two to wade through and all of it Sin’s fault because he had no willpower, was very broken and had very little self-esteem when they first fell in love. I don’t know if I totally buy into their HEA but I’m okay with that because there were some genuine feelings of love behind the whole mess and I do feel like Portia was a good match for The Randy Duke and went into it with her eyes wide open and well aware of his faults.

 

If you’re looking for a decadent, erotic read and can suspend your disbelief about, well, about most of the things that happen here, then this one is for you!

The Duke of Dark Desires
The Duke of Dark Desires - Miranda Neville I think this particular plotline is just not my cup of tea. a governess who was hired on the spot because the hero has decided to sleep with her from the moment he sets eyes on her. out of nowhere the author flings 2 ex- lovers from the heroine, to give her more depth as a character. but I was just unprepared for it. and how is the hero thinking something like: "she is definitely not a virgin" romantic? I mean, is that supposed to be hot???
I stopped at 40% and have no intention of going back to finish the book. I hate leaving books unfinished but my free time is limited. I much rather spend it on a good book.
