About this ebook

What happens when a woman driven by pride

 and a duke ruled by ruthlessness are forced to wed?


Ophelia Breckensole has no intention of becoming anyone’s duchess—least of all the wife of Stanford, Duke of Ashworth, a man whose cold reputation and commanding presence make her bristle. But when scandal ensnares her in a trap she can’t escape, marriage becomes the only way to salvage what remains of her standing. She’ll go through with it, but her heart is not part of the bargain.

Stanford has earned his nickname—the Dangerous Duke—with unapologetic precision. Rebuilding a bankrupt dukedom required grit, control, and an utter disregard for sentiment. But Ophelia, with her fire and fierce independence, is unlike any woman he’s ever met. She’s not the duchess he planned for… but perhaps the only one who could truly challenge him.

As past enemies close in and threaten everything he’s rebuilt, Stanford must protect his new wife from forces far more dangerous than Society’s gossip. But as duty and desire entwine, can two reluctant hearts overcome their pride—and survive the danger that seeks to tear them apart?

This 13th book in Ms. Cameron’s Seductive Scoundrels series is another charming addition to one of my favorite Regency series. It is a top-notch, pseudo enemies to lovers offering. The daggers drawn, two main characters, Ophelia Breckensole and Stanford Bancroft, Duke of Asherford, are such likable characters. Ophelia thinks Stan is the most insulting, arrogant, and cold-blooded peer she has ever met. She’s taken to hiding from him at assemblies since he keeps pressing his suit. It’s not that she is opposed to marriage, just not to him. Stan is not used to people saying no to him. He realizes he will have to woo this lady. The writing flows well as the author creates the yin and yang atmosphere between the couple. She blends in some action as well as some suspense as Ophelia and Stan travel their road to romance. I also liked her incorporating appearances by characters from previous works. As is true of several other works in this series, there is no sexual congress but innuendos. You’ll feel good, will like the characters, and bring a smile to your face if you read Loved by a Dangerous Duke. I was offered an ARC of this work and gladly rate it 4 – 4 ½ Stars. All opinions stated are my own.

Sassy and stubborn Ophelia claims to have a back of steel. However, when she is around Stanford aka the Dangerous Duke, she lifts her chin while her bones melt on her. Stanford is cocky in the beginning. But as Ophelia and Stanford get to know each other they find they have more in common than just lust. An excellent read. I highly recommend it. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Reasons I enjoyed this book: Entertaining Funny Romantic Wonderful characters

Loved By A Dangerous Duke is book thirteen in the Seductive Scoundrels series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked the tension between the main characters Stanford the Duke of Asherford, and Ophelia Breckensole. Both have appeared in previous books. This book can be read as a stand-alone, although I highly recommend the series. I enjoyed the romance and the way the characters evolved throughout the story.
