The Broken Duke

Written by Jess Michaels

Narrated by Danielle O'Farrell

The third sensual romance in the 1797 Club series by USA Today Bestselling Author Jess Michaels.

Adelaide Longford is London's most overlooked bluestocking wallflower and that is fine by her. Being ignored gives her the perfect opportunity to sneak out and secretly take on the persona of the most celebrated actress of the day, Lydia Ford. The thrill of walking the boards and hearing the applause of those who watch her is the most exciting experience of her life. 

Until Graham Everly, Duke of Northfield comes into her life. He is broken after the humiliating loss of his longtime fiancé to his supposed best friend and they enter into a lusty affair which sets her body on fire. Graham has no idea why he's so attracted to both the bespectacled, prickly Adelaide and the passionate Lydia, but soon he is caught in a dance with them both and torn between which future he wants to pursue. 

When Graham finds out Adelaide's secret identity will he be able to accept both parts of her? And will he be able to save her from a lurking danger that neither of them could have ever foreseen?

Jess Michaels

Jess Michaels always flips through every romance she buys in search of "the good stuff," so it makes perfect sense that she writes erotic romance where she gets to turn up the heat and let it boil. She also runs the popular website The Passionate Pen and writes historical romance as Jenna Petersen.

Reviews for The Broken Duke

[UchennaEzeh · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I must say I loved this story. I almost cried when Graham met with Simon in the latter part of the book. Aunt Opal was a real disaster. That is really mental health issues not realized and treated. It was too sad. I must say I fell in love with Ewan and am looking forward to his story which I plan to read immediately. Lovely book

I was pleasantly surprised that Graham had the passion after the last book. I have to say without a doubt this has been one of my favourite books and series of books.

[Jane Engelhardt · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Much better than the last one. There is excitement. The main characters are likeable and believable. The twist at the end is a surprise. Great fun. Way better than number 2 and maybe better than number 1. Headed on to the next one.
