Book Information

Book Description:
The scandalously handsome Samson Carlisle is not the deceiving nobleman Lady Olivia was searching for... but he's the lover she fervently desires.
A lady's heart is a tempting plaything for the DUKE OF SCANDAL
He stands apart from other men -- a dark, tall, breathtaking figure of seductive masculinity. With a smile, he can topple the defenses of even the most proper maiden.
And with a single whisper, she will be his.
A wife in name only, Lady Olivia Shea has returned to London in a rage, determined to confront her new husband, who vanished months ago with her inheritance on their wedding night. Yet this hauntingly familiar man who stands before her -- this face and form she adores -- is not her deceiving Edmund but the blackguard's twin brother, Samson Carlisle, Duke of Durham. Samson knows of his sibling's penchant for perfidy and he graciously offers to help the exquisite Olivia locate the missing rogue and recover her stolen fortune.
But Olivia fears that accompanying this mysterious, dangerous, eminently desirable man would be courting the most devastating sort of scandal -- especially since it is now Samson's arms she aches to feel surrounding her, and his kiss she longs to taste ...

Book 2 of the Dukes trilogy was an enjoyable read with a lot of elements I like in a good book - the handsome hero Duke has a bad-seed identical twin brother and a lying conniving ex-lover who are partners in a scam to steal the life savings of the smart and beautiful heroine. The H/H team up to get her money back and to expose the dastardly duo for the frauds they are. They end up falling in love along the way. This book is much, much better than Book 1 Duke of Sin. I'm looking forward to reading Colin's story, Book 3 The Duke's Discretion.

Not my favorite Ashworth. The chemestry between the H/H was good, and I enjoyed the book until the suspense plot wound down. Then I felt like the melodrama was a bit much.
I'll still read the next in this series however, because I usually enjoy her characters so much.

Lots of good twists in this fun regency romance.

Lady Olivia's husband deserted her on her wedding night. When she contronts him in London, it's his twin brother, the Duke. They go off together to find the scapegrace brother, only to fall in love & discover the whole thing was a scam.
June M. (A sequel to "Duke of Sin" (also on my booklist), it is much better with character development
Amy C. (Second in the Duke of...series. I can't wait for Colin's book!
The scandalously handsome Samson Carlisle is not the deceiving nobleman Lady Olivia was searching for...but he's the lover she fervently desires.
Love this author and I love all of her books. I like the wit that everyone always has
