In his various attempts to do the right thing he ends up falling for her, but can he win her?Ĭhase writes historical fictions book that happen to feature sex. Cassandra runs into him (again) the morning after he nearly killed one of his two best friends in a duel, but troublemaker that he is he knows that damaging a lady’s good name isn’t sporting. The titular Duke is Ashmont, he who was jilted in the first book, has character flaws beyond counting, exceptionally good looks, and the ability to plan perfect pranks. Following a further series of unfortunate events, the last shreds of Cassandra’s reputation are about to disintegrate, taking her sister’s future and her family’s good name along with them. It’s the voicing them that has caused one of her current problems – her exasperated father, hoping a husband will rein her in, has ruled that her beloved sister can’t marry until Cassandra does. Cassandra is a headstrong character she holds strong opinions and isn’t shy about voicing them. The story focuses on Cassandra Pomfret and his dis-grace, the Duke of Ashmont. The three-year delay had a lot to do with Chase going back to the drawing board with its hero, and the wait was worth it. I read A Duke in Shining Armor in February of 2018 and while you don’t need to revisit the first to enjoy the second, part of me wishes I had.
Much like A Duke in Shining Armor, we’re dropped into action already in progress, but this time much of that action is the events at the tail end of the first book in the series.
Ten Things I Hate About the Duke is the second book in Loretta Chase’s Difficult Dukes series.
