The Truth About Love and Dukes: Dear Lady Truelove
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Dear Lady Truelove . . . I have fallen in love, truly and completely in love, for the first time. The man whom I hold in such passionate regard, however, is not of my station. He is a painter, a brilliant artist. Needless to say, my family would not approve . . .
Henry, Duke of Torquil, wouldn't be caught reading the wildly popular "Dear Lady Truelove" column, but when its advice causes his mother to embark on a scandalous elopement, an outraged Henry decides the author of this tripe must be stopped before she can ruin any more lives. Though Lady Truelove's identity is a closely guarded secret, Henry has reason to suspect the publisher of the notorious column, beautiful and provoking Irene Deverill, is also its author.
For Irene, it's easy to advise others to surrender to passion, but when she meets the Duke of Torquil, she soon learns that passion comes at a price. When one impulsive, spur-of-the-moment kiss pulls her into a scorching affair with Henry, it could destroy her beloved newspaper, her career, and her independence. But in the duke's arms, surrender is so, so sweet . . .

- content: Narrator Carolyn Morris draws listeners into the historical romance of Henry, Duke of Torquil, and Irene Deverill. Henry is outraged that a columnist named Lady Truelove has encouraged his widowed mother to follow her passion for a painter. When he goes to confront Lady Truelove, Henry finds himself meeting publisher Irene Deverill. Morris helps listeners envision the world of the aristocracy that the characters inhabit.

Starred review from April 15, 2017
Henry Cavanaugh, Duke of Torquil, is furious when he discovers that his widowed mother plans to take the advice of scandal sheet columnist "Lady Truelove" to follow her heart and marry a ne'er-do-well Italian artist. He confronts Irene Deverill, the Society Snippets' outspoken publisher, and gets something of a tongue-lashing for his trouble. Taking matters into his own hands, Henry makes a deal with Irene's father to buy the paper in return for introducing Irene and her younger sister into society and paving the way for a reconciliation with the girls' estranged, titled grandparents. Now the boss, Henry proffers a choice: while living in Henry's family's mansion, Irene must persuade his mother not to marry the artist or he will shut the paper down. Verbal and emotional sparks fly as Henry and Irene try to resist their inexplicable attraction--with very poor results. A fiercely independent heroine determined to control her own life and a hero whose rigid upbringing wars with his innately sensitive side are caught off-guard by their feelings and forced to rethink their ideas about love, marriage, and women's rights. VERDICT This engaging Victorian romance is sure to enchant. Guhrke (No Mistress of Mine) lives in the Pacific Northwest.

April 1, 2017
In Victorian London, a businesswoman and a duke may disagree about everything and still find each other irresistible.Henry Cavanaugh, Duke of Torquil takes his responsibilities to his family very seriously. So when his widowed mother runs off with an Italian painter, he does what he thinks he must--tries to block their marriage. But first, he has a score to settle with Lady Truelove, the author of the pseudonymous advice column published by a scandal sheet, who advised his mother to follow her heart. When he turns up at the newspaper's office, he finds the paper's publisher, Irene Deverill, inconveniently attractive. Irene is hard at work saving her family's newspaper empire, and their financial security, since her father is too drunk and sickly to do it himself. Henry quickly identifies her as the columnist who led his mother astray and demands that she convince his mother not to marry her lover after all. Every interaction between them is challenging. For one thing, they have opposite worldviews. Irene is a suffragist, a proud member of the middle class, and a professional woman in a society that looks down on work. Henry is a member of the nobility, a patriarch, and a social scion. This new novel by Guhrke (No Mistress of Mine, 2016, etc.) is the first in her new Dear Lady Truelove series. While the characters are a bit stereotypical (duty-obsessed titled man who doesn't express his feelings; passionate and independent suffragist), they do grow over the course of the story. Even better, the book is full of thought-provoking commentary on socio-economic class and how it shapes our morals and our identities. That makes the book worth reading even if it's not the fun, escapist tale many readers look for in the romance genre. An interesting tale from a well-respected author.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
