Not typical period romance

The story was good and different but it was a little choppy and didn’t flow well in the middle. Great plot though. Different than the norm.

This book is well below Julie Garwood’s normal standard. The main male character, The Duke of Bradford is a misogynist jerk. Caroline, the main female character seems strong at first, but then she caves into the dukes wishes all well being shamed and blamed for his desires and others.

The plot is almost non existent, the action that is pointed at in the prologue doesn’t show up until 2/3 into the book so it doesn’t even make sense when you do get to it. The book ends at a really weird place and the epilogue only slightly make sense when compared to the book.

Of all the dukes in England, Jered Marcus Benton, the Duke of Bradford, was the wealthiest, most handsome -- and most arrogant. And of all London's ladies, he wanted the tender obedience of only one -- Caroline Richmond.

She was a ravishing beauty from Boston, with a mysterious past and a fiery spirit. Drawn to the powerful duke, undeterred by his presumptuous airs, Caroline was determined to win his lasting love. But Bradford would bend to no woman -- until a deadly intrigue drew them enticingly close. Now, united against a common enemy, they would discover the power of the magnificent attraction that brought them together...a desire born in danger, but destined to flame into love!
