I really enjoyed the first two books in this trilogy, but I couldn't get into this one at all. All three have the same core conflict, which gossip rags have dubbed the "Durham Dilemma": the sons of the deceased Duke of Durham must expose a blackmailer and find proof that their father wasn't a bigami...

Review from Queen of Swords Book Reviews. LIKED: * Tessa has a dark past but not super-dark. Her actions and interactions are proportionate to the level of her trauma. I find this a refreshing change from heroines who make really dumb outlandish decisions or put up insurmountable barriers based on...

I read and enjoyed the prequel and Gerald's story and expected to enjoy this one just as much. However, I had problems with the hero Charles in this piece.

I think somewhere down the line I may owe Caroline Linden an apology. I was convinced when starting The Way to a Duke’s Heart that I wouldn’t like Charles de Lacey at all.

Lovely ending to a delightful series. Character-driven, with some nice emotional growth by both of the main characters - Charlie realizing that he will have to take the bull by the horns and actually deal with his family's problem himself, instead of relying on some servant or other member of his fa...

Caroline Linden has never let me down. She has great love stories that never make me angry. I never hate her heroes. I'm never tempted to toss the nook against the wall. Somehow she manages to create couples whose obstacles are not self-imposed. The characters are all generally likable and the ro...

Five plus stars! Caroline Linden has pulled off a hat trick – all three volumes of The Truth About the Duke series are first rate.The series revolves around the de Lacey brothers – Charlie, the indolent, rakish heir; Edward, the dutiful, serious-minded son; and Gerard, the devil-may-care veteran of ...
