My Inconvenient Duke by Loretta Chase is a wonderful historical romance. The main characters are a feisty lady, Lady Alice Ancaster and one of her brother’s best friends, the Duke of Blackwood. This is the third book in the series and while I have read the prior books, this book can be read as a stand alone. Each book focuses on a different duke.
Lady Alice realizes after being woken up by her brother and his friends’ antics that she can not depend on her brother. In her world, she would be left to the horrible cousin to take care of her , if anything happened to her brother. At the rate he was going, she was not going to have a brother much longer. She has spoken to her family and the “boys” were told to leave London, so Alice can make a great match.
The Duke of Blackwood understands that he is banished to the country, so he doesn’t muck up Alice’s chances for a perfect husband, but he just can’t leave her. He seems to show up where she is and often at a perfectly helpful time. It isn’t until they journey to find her missing brother, that Alice realizes that she has gone too far.
I loved how the main characters have an affinity for each other. I love how they listen to each other. Mostly I loved the love between the main characters. My Inconvenient Duke by Loretta Chase is a great read.
