- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Caroline Linden's `One Night in London: The Truth About the Duke' started the journey which is known to all of us as the Durham Dilemma. This series has a very unique premise that Ms. Linden came up with. All three stories are designed to reveal one big secret and tell us the truth about the old Duke of Durham's secret marriage that was never annulled, before he married his Duchess and the mother of his three sons, his heir Charles, Lord Gresham, Edward de Lacey, the spare and Captain Gerard de Lacey, the hero.
All three were shocked to learn that some sixty years ago the Duke had been married and then parted ways with the woman never bothering to get a divorce, an annulment or even make sure that that woman is still living or dead, before he marries again.
As the brothers start the search for answers to their future, they are destined to meet women that will make their life interesting, exciting and ultimately very happy to enter that state that all men at one time or another think of `mouse trap'.
Edward's story is first, followed by `Blame it on Bath' with Gerard's and now we come to the end of the series and Charles' story. From the previous two books we get the feeling that Charlie is one of those men that really doesn't give a damn for anyone but his own self. He never answered his late father's summons to his death bed and outwardly shows no concern about finding out who is behind the `illegitimacy' claim and blackmail. All Charlie seems to want to do is `party'.
However, in this book, we meet the man that's not so easy to define; man who for the past decade did everything in his power to distance himself from his father, from the responsibility of taking over not just the title, but all that it stands for, all that he's been thought it entails to be the next Duke of Durham; man who hides behind the persona of the most debauched rake of the ton, yet deep down...and for the rest of my review, please visit me at [...] Thanks so much.
Melanie for Romantic Crush Junkies Reviews eZine - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Charlie's story was much anticipated but worth it. It occurred to me that the match was inevitable. He had the dukedom and estates and needed someone who could manage that while being honest with him. He married a female version of his brother Edward lol. Awesome book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very enjoyable end to the series. Smart heroine and I liked the rake who wasn’t too rakish. Never any discussions as to why the heroine wasn’t a virgin either. It was really terrific. It got some bad reviews and I don’t know why. I didn’t think the hero was whiny or dissolute. He did act like a child in the past but never with the heroine and was fairly disappointed in himself for it. Much more disappointed in himself than the usual rake. I love Caroline Linden and this one does not disappoint, in my opinion. Mystery starts in the first book of the series and is not resolved until the end of this third book. It is better to read from the beginning of the series and the other two books are excellent as well, so no hardship. Here, heroine is smart as a whip in business and thus seen as an oddity by the ton; she was also disappointed in love. Hero, too, was disappointed in love due to his father’s interference and has been wallowing in self pity by being a rake for 10 years. They meet by accident as her business interests cross his efforts to solve the mystery of his birth. It is a nice slow burn between them, which is very pleasant but the chemistry is totally there all along. Charlie doesn’t quite seem like the arrogant rake from the first 2 books but he has been chastened as he has watched his brothers grow up and marry and his father die. He realizes he is an adult and decides to take responsibility for himself and his life. People do do that so it is not unbelievable. Loved it.
