Only a Duke Will Do

Written by Sabrina Jeffries

Narrated by Justine Eyre and Marguerite Gavin

The third book in the School for Heiressess series, by New York Times bestselling historical romance author Sabrina Jeffries, is a delightfully sexy regency-era romance.

Lady Venetia Campbell's visit to her childhood home in Scotland takes a dramatic turn when she's kidnapped at pistol point by her father's sworn enemy. Sir Lachlan Ross is widely feared in his guise as The Scottish Scourge, but Venetia remembers her former neighbor as a handsome youth whose attentions she craved. Now a wickedly sexy man, Lachlan's appeal is even more intoxicating...and much more dangerous. Though Lachlan tries to treat her as his foe, his scorching kisses tell another story. And despite his plan to use her as a weapon against her father, Venetia is determined that Lachlan's lust for revenge will be trumped by an even more powerful desire...

Reviews for Only a Duke Will Do

[Alexa W · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This book made me cringe more than once. Rapey, manipulative "hero" who realizes he's wrong in the end. Not for me.

[Christy Knott · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Sad watching the main character be an idiot all over again! He was a lying jerk to Louisa in his sister's story and is still one in this for 95% of the book. It makes for a long slog thru corrupt politics, abuse, manipulation and treachery. Not at all the kind of book that I enjoy. Also way too many animals for my taste. Too bad. I really liked the previous ones and hope to enjoy the next one.

Another story right up my alley from Sabrina Jeffries. The hero and heroine both have secrets that torment them. Betrayal, angst, all the good drama. (4 stars)

For me there wasn't enough wit or romantic "chase" - and it had way too much of the hero and leading lady fighting for their own interests. - His in his quest to become prime minister and her with her reform of the prisons. I got just over half of the book and then skimmed the rest. - Though i enjoyed the notes between Cousin Michael and Charlotte at the beginning of each chapter. I may check out their book. If they have one.

A thoroughly enjoyable story!

Louisa North is a beautiful, strong, passionate and kind heroine, and illegitimate daughter to an ornery king.

Simon Tremaine is a carefully raised and ambitious man who thinks he is incapable of love.

After ruling India, Simon returns home to England to take his place in English politics. When the King returns to his old antics, Simon is given one last task before he can be appointed to his desired position - get the stubborn Louisa to back down on her radical reforms and out of the King's way. Simon's obeyed the King before, but the beautiful and challenging Louisa is about to change everything.

Only a Duke Will Do is a delightful book full of romance and adventure. A must read!

Hero comes back from being GG of India, seeks former flame- natural daughter of the Prince of Wales. Good character, plot and background. Introduces woman centered contraception.

This is my very favorite of Jeffries' books (so far). Simon is the perfect hero - arrogant, ambitious, handsome, with a dark past and ulterior (political!) motives for doing what he does. This book is well written and fast moving, and a great deal of fun - I highly reccomend!
