Description

In Megan Frampton's captivating new Dukes Behaving Badly novel, we learn the answer to the question:

Why do dukes fall in love?

Michael, the Duke of Hadlow, has the liberty of enjoying an indiscretion . . . or several. But when it comes time for him to take a proper bride, he ultimately realizes he wants only one woman: Edwina Cheltam. He'd hired her as his secretary, only to quickly discover she was sensuous and intelligent.

They embark on a passionate affair, and when she breaks it off, he accepts her decision as the logical one . . . but only at first. Then he decides to pursue her.

Michael is brilliant, single-minded, and utterly indifferent to being the talk of the ton. It's even said his only true friend is his dog. Edwina had begged him to marry someone appropriate–—someone aristocratic . . . someone high-born . . . someone else. But the only thing more persuasive than a duke intent on seduction is one who has fallen irrevocably in love.

        "Frampton superbly balances passion with humor, avoiding cliché through rich characterization. The result is warm, kindhearted, and utterly delightful." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

        "This witty and sexy romp is wildly swoon-worthy. Megan Frampton's delightful characters and delicious sense of humor always entertain!" — Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times bestselling author

        "A ... Regency tale of two delightfully unconventional lovers." — Kirkus Reviews

        " What's more fun than a man head over heels in love? The charming plot is well played with witty dialogue...Many will take pleasure in the witty "rules" for why dukes fall in love, as well as the delicious sensuality and lovely romance. A true delight!" — Romantic Times BOOKclub

        Megan Frampton sparkles again with her very witty latest novel, Why Do Dukes Fall in Love? What do I love about this book? Pretty much everything. — Heroes & Heartbreakers

        An intelligent, practical heroine who will do anything for her daughter and an arrogant, lonely hero finally give in to passion and, eventually, completely "illogical" love in a story made sweeter by the presence of a charming child and a wonderful lummox of a dog. — Library Journal (starred review)

        July 1, 2016
        Sleeping with the boss has never seemed so appealing.Michael, Duke of Hadlow, has everything he needs except a secretary. Never one to stand on convention, he hires Edwina Cheltam, recently widowed, who is desperately in need of a job to support herself and her daughter, Gertrude. The brusque and logical duke seeks efficiency above all else, and as Edwina is the best candidate despite being a woman, she and Gertrude move into his house and get to work. Though Michael and Edwina are instantly attracted to each other, they ignore it in order to work together, until they embark on a mutual seduction that they know can never be "anything more than what it is." With chapters punctuated by reasons dukes fall in love ("26. Because no one dares to tell them they shouldn't"), the story moves Michael and Edwina from feelings of lust to a blossoming love that neither can admit and which ultimately drives them apart. But when Gertrude is kidnapped by Edwina's former brother-in-law, Michael may be the only one who can save her. The fourth full-length book in the Dukes Behaving Badly series is as smart as its unusual duke, and Frampton's witty banter is bested only by several back-to-back scenes that prove how erotic safe sex can be. Details about Regency-era railroad business add a touch of realism to this Cinderella tale, and readers will enjoy a hero who is lovable in different ways than the average aristocrat. A conventional Regency tale of two delightfully unconventional lovers.

        Left destitute by the death of her careless, not too bright husband, Edwina Cheltham is relieved and surprised to be offered the position of secretary (a job usually held by a man) to the abrupt, overbearing Duke of Hadlow. But the logical, efficiency-focused duke cares nothing for convention. If a woman can be a better secretary than a man, he'll hire her and think nothing of it. At least that's his plan, until the attraction between them sparks out of control, and they are swept into a shadowy relationship that, if society has anything to say about it, won't end well. VERDICT An intelligent, practical heroine who will do anything for her daughter and an arrogant, lonely hero finally give in to passion and, eventually, completely "illogical" love in a story made sweeter by the presence of a charming child and a wonderful lummox of a dog. Frampton (One-Eyed Dukes Are Wild) lives in Brooklyn.
