Book Reviews of The Duchess

Not as steamy or sensual as most of her books. A good romance set in the 1700s.

A duke with the bluiest blood and a rich girl with a tarnished background that refuses to ever love...
This book kept me up late most nights reading...this was my first bertrice small read..i have since bought several more of her books and love them!!

How everyone can be rich and titled is not answered in this predictable story by Bertrice Small who seems to be stuck in this gendre. I usually like how she builds up the romance side of her story, but don't appreciate the violence against women.

Tedious and mediocre at best. The thing is, i still couldn't put it down! That is the spell that Beatrice Small puts on her readers. By the end of the book, i found myself smiling.

Not part of any trilogy or series, but a good "in between" book when you have nothing else to read.
