Time to announce the June Book Club Pick! Our pick this month is Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare.
Summary? Certainly!
What's a duke to do, when the girl who's perfectly wrong becomes the woman he can't live without?
Griffin York, the Duke of Halford, has no desire to wed this season–or any season–but his diabolical mother abducts him to “Spinster Cove” and insists he select a bride from the ladies in residence. Griff decides to teach her a lesson that will end the marriage debate forever. He chooses the serving girl.
Overworked and struggling, Pauline Simms doesn't dream about dukes. All she wants is to hang up her barmaid apron and open a bookshop. That dream becomes a possibility when an arrogant, sinfully attractive duke offers her a small fortune for a week's employment. Her duties are simple: submit to his mother's “duchess training”… and fail miserably.
But in London, Pauline isn't a miserable failure. She's a brave, quick-witted, beguiling failure–a woman who ignites Griff's desire and soothes the darkness in his soul. Keeping Pauline by his side won't be easy. Even if Society could accept a serving girl duchess–can a roguish duke convince a serving girl to trust him with her heart?

This is a delightful historical romance, will familiar tropes explored in new ways, and I so hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Done and done – it might be my favorite Spindle Cove yet.
LOVED this book! I agree with Jessica—I think it is my favorite Spindle Cove, too.
Great book choice. I loved it, too.
I loved this book! It’s made it into the upper echelons of my most favoritest ever list.
My favorite Spindle Cove and just overall a great book!
Just finished this this morning, looking forward to talking about it!
I bought it Thursday, read it Friday (maybe instead of working…) and now can’t read a historical till after the chat to make sure I don’t confuse the stories. I loved it!
Read and thoroughly enjoyed. For some reason I couldn’t get into the odd numbered books but number 2 (“A Week to be Wicked”) and this one were great.
Oh, boooh. No ebook rebate for me – since geo restrictions apply. I may get the paper copy, though. Well, right now I’m reading last year’s June book club pick (Bring Him Home, Karina Bliss).
I just requested it from the library (2 people ahead of me on the list) because it wasn’t available there until today. hopefully, i’ll get it in time for the book club.
I hope you don’t mind a technical question: does anyone know if I can buy books on All Romance to read on a kindle? I’m new to this, and their FAQs are a little confusing. It looks like maybe no? Thanks for any guidance!
