A Most Unlikely Duke
A Most Unlikely Duke by Sophie Barnes is $1.99! This is the first book in the Diamonds in the Rough historical romance series, and I actually really like the cover. Carrie read this one and gave it a B:
I loved this book for its lovely use of language, its focus on the problems of both the lower and upper classes, the incredibly likeable characters, and the affirming, sexy, sweet romance.
He never thought he’d become a duke, or that the secrets of his past would cost him his greatest love…
Raphe Matthews hasn’t stepped foot in polite circles since a tragedy left his once-noble family impoverished and in debt. The bare-knuckle boxer has spent the last fifteen years eking out an existence for himself and his two sisters. But when a stunning reversal of fortune lands Raphe the title of Duke of Huntley, he’s determined to make a go of becoming a proper lord, but he’ll need a little help, and his captivating neighbor might be just the woman for the job…
After her sister’s scandalous match, Lady Gabriella knows the ton’s eyes are on her. Agreeing to tutor the brutish new duke can only lead to ruin. Although she tries to control her irresistible attraction to Raphe, every day she spends with him only deepens her realization that this may be the one man she cannot do without. And as scandal threatens to envelop them both, she must decide if she can risk everything for love with a most unlikely duke.

Six Degrees of Scandal
RECOMMENDED: Six Degrees of Scandal by Caroline Linden is 99c! Redheadedgirl gave this book an A:
Linden never, ever skimps on the communication aspect, especially when she’s worked a Big Misunderstanding into the plot. And this Big Misunderstanding is pretty freakin’ big – James thought there was time before they needed to get married, Olivia thought James had left her, and the ramifications of not using all of their words are huge. (Mostly this is on James’ head – he’s a dude, so in this scenario he has all the power.) It takes time and communication to sort through the mess before they can even begin to contemplate a HEA.
Olivia Townsend is in trouble and out of options. Pursued by a dangerous man in search of a lost treasure she doesn’t possess, she’s got only two things in her favor: her late husband’s diary, which she was never meant to see… and the man who was her first—and only—love. Losing him broke her heart, though she’s been careful to hide it for the last ten years. But when he comes to her aid and vows to stand by her, no matter what, she can’t help but hope things will be different for them this time.
James Weston has blamed himself for letting Olivia down when she needed him years ago, and now he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—and to win her trust again. He’s confident he can outwit the villain chasing Olivia. But being so near her again threatens to expose every secret in his heart … even those that he swore would stay hidden forever.

Readers loved the humor, as well as the romance, and many have said this book has started their Victoria Roberts addiction. However, some say the hero and heroine suffer from a major case of insta-love. Have you read this one?
This Highland Laird won’t bow to the Crown
Laird Ruairi Sutherland refuses to send his only son away to be educated by the English. And he most definitely will not appear in Edinburgh to pay homage to a liege who has no respect for Scotland. So he does what any laird would do—he lies to the king. The last thing Ruairi expects is a beautiful English governess to appear on his doorstep.
But this lady spy might make him…
Lady Ravenna Walsingham is a seasoned spy who is sent to the savage Highlands to uncover a nefarious plot against the Crown. Playing the part of an English governess—a job easier said than done—she infiltrates the home of Laird Sutherland, a suspected conspirator.
If she doesn’t betray him first
Ravenna soon discovers that the only real threat Sutherland poses is to her heart. But will the proud Highland laird ever forgive her when he discovers the woman he loves in an English spy?

When You Give a Duke a Diamond
When You Give a Duke a Diamond by Shana Galen is $1.99! This is the first book in the Jewels of the Ton historical romance series. Readers enjoyed the hero’s growth from jerk to guy worthy of the heroine’s affections. However, others felt the heroine was rather spoiled. The book has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.
He had a perfectly orderly life…
William, the sixth Duke of Pelham, enjoys his punctual, securely structured life. Orderly and predictable—that’s the way he likes it. But he’s in the public eye, and the scandal sheets will make up anything to sell papers. When the gossip papers link him to Juliette, one of the most beautiful and celebrated courtesans in London, chaos doesn’t begin to describe what happens next…
Until she came along…
Juliette is nicknamed the Duchess of Dalliance and has the cream of the nobility at her beck and call. It’s disruptive to have the duke who is the biggest catch on the Marriage Mart scaring her other suitors away. Then she discovers William’s darkest secret and decides what he needs in his life is the kind of excitement only she can provide…

All the Scandal books by C. Linden are great!! Six Degrees… is the last one and can be read as a standalone but much more enjoyable to know what happens before… still, though, highly recommend!
Thank God for Kindle because it would be much harder to hide my book hoarding from my husband. I can TELL him I buy lots of Kindle books but he doesn’t SEE how HUGE my collection is. 🙂 I don’t think he’d really care because my nose in a book means I am distracted from his Honey Do list.
I enjoyed A Most Unlikely Duke. I felt the ending was a little rushed or maybe I just wanted to hang out with Raphe a bit longer. The contrasts between the problems of the lower and the upper classes were well illustrated, and often with a side of humor.
Don’t know how I missed the Caroline Linden second chance story, but it will be hitting my Kindle pronto!
Maybe I don’t read enough, but it seems a little inaccurate to have dukes as plentiful as blackberries. Isn’t the point of a duke that they’re pretty scarce?
I thought you had a secondary theme of purple dresses, but then got to the last one. Nope. And the first two were by Avon. Do publishers color theme their releases? Are all the October books going to have orange dresses on the covers?
