Those Grandfathers are still at it trying to get their grandsons married. These older men who are Dukes have created the Duke Pact and are bound and determined to force or hog-tie this younger generation to do there duty and get married, have kids, and settle down.
I love these books because you never know how much interference the Dukes are going to use or if just by luck the grandsons might fall into a situation of love.
In this book the Marquess of Grayson is a rake and not one bit concerned that he is known for his flirtatious liaisons. He is intrigued by Kitty Bell the scholar.
Kitty Bell is a serious minded person and is more of a scientific brain child, but loves balls for the dancing.
This book is a definite Summertime Read because it keeps your attention and even though you have already figured everything out, there is still elements of surprise that you have to keep reading for the Big Bang effect!
I can’t wait to see Lord Dalton get his show down with a strong female presence!
I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions. -
This book, starts out a bit boring too much talk about science!
Miss Dell in love with science can't understand why she must marry, Lord Grayson, has been temporarily cut off by his father since he has chosen not wed. Miss Dell gets set up with Sir John who we later find out, from Lord Grayson is that he's an imposter trying to take revenge, because of something Miss Dell's grandfather did years ago.
Now this is the most boring historical romance novel I have ever read! There is zero romance, other than one kiss at the end. There is not any chemistry between the characters. It was so annoying when Lord Grayson was called a Dandy constantly.
Over all is expected much more from this book. It has so much potential.
Its like the author is ready to get this series over with it.
Its a dry romance, don't waste your time if you actually expect romance and chemistry between the two characters. -
I enjoyed this story and continue to like the entire premise of the series. I don’t really want to go into particulars about the story as the blurb sums it up well. I will say this is not a series that focuses heavily on romance between the MCs and there is very little, if any, physical interactions (including kissing) between the MCs - both of these concepts in a book classified as Regency Romance are hard to understand. However, if you are looking for witty, satirical writing — this series is for you.

Another delightful story in this series is about 6 dukes who make a pact to get their heirs married off. I loved the pacing and the witty dialogue. This book is not heavy on steam but it's not really a series I expect it from. Kitty and Lord Dell have nothing in common so it's nice to see them come together and fall in love. There's also a little bit of the absurd in this book but honestly, it added an extra element that made the book all that more unique.

Another great addition to the Duke Pact series. Scholar Kitty and Rogue Giles have amazing chemistry and the story was both well-written and engrossing. I have enjoyed all of the books to date and highly recommend the entire series.
Thank you Kate Archer, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.
