How to Forget a Duke

How to Forget a Duke by Vivienne Lorret is $1.99! This is the first book in the Misadventures in Matchmaking series, and Elyse gave this one a B grade:
How to Forget a Duke is a delightfully tropey Regency featuring a hero who goes from loveable curmudgeon to joyfully in love. So how tropey is it, you ask? We’ve got enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, matchmaking, and–hell yeah–amnesia. All of it works, and honestly, this romance is just so fun that it made my day.
The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Never fall in love with the client. A simple thing to remember…unless you’re a matchmaker with amnesia.
The Duke of Rydstrom needs a wife. Preferably one with a large fortune and a complete lack of curiosity. The last thing he needs is a meddling matchmaker determined to dig up his dark family secrets.
All Jacinda wants is to find a bride for a duke. How hard could that be? He’s handsome, enigmatic…and hiding something. She’s sure of it. Determined to discover what it is, she travels to his crumbling cliffside estate. Yet, by the time she washes up on his beach, she can no longer remember who she is or why the duke is so familiar to her. All she knows is that his kisses are unforgettable—and she intends to use every skill she can to discover what’s in his heart.
When Miss Bourne can’t remember what brought her to his ancestral home, Rydstrom intends to keep it that way. Yet as the days pass, his true challenge will be safeguarding his secret while resisting this woman who—confound it all—may well be his perfect match.

The Most Dangerous Duke in London by Madeline Hunter is $1.99! This is book one in the Decadent Dukes Society series. The hero wants revenge and the heroine just wants to go about publishing her women’s journal. Readers like the enemies to lovers aspect of the romance, but others wouldn’t recommend this one on audio as the narrator didn’t fit for them.
Three sinfully handsome dukes, three scores to settle, three hearts about to meet their matches. All in one thrilling new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Madeline Hunter . . .
NOTORIOUS NOBLEMAN SEEKS REVENGE
Name and title: Adam Penrose, Duke of Stratton.
Affiliation: London’s elite Society of Decadent Dukes.
Family history: Scandalous.
Personality traits: Dark and brooding, with a thirst for revenge.
Ideal romantic partner: A woman of means, with beauty and brains, willing to live with reckless abandon.
Desire: Clara Cheswick, gorgeous daughter of his family’s sworn enemy.FAINT OF HEART NEED NOT APPLY
Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there’s one problem: she’s far more interested in publishing her women’s journal than getting married—especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though, with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere—along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?Add to Goodreads To-Read List →

The Duke’s Guide to Correct Behavior by Megan Frampton is $1.99. This is book one in the Dukes Behaving Badly series – do dukes behave otherwise? Maybe in some other genre. Readers who enjoyed it and left positive reviews mentioned the humor and the dialogue, and the nobleman/governess trope as among their favorites. However, others warn that the characters seemed more fitting of a modern setting.
All of London knows the Duke of Rutherford has position and wealth. They also whisper that he’s dissolute, devilish, and determinedly unwed. So why, everyone is asking, has he hired a governess?
When Miss Lily Russell crosses the threshold of the Duke of Rutherford’s stylish townhouse, she knows she has come face to face with sensual danger. For this is no doting papa. Rather, his behavior is scandalous, and his reputation rightly earned. And his pursuit of her is nearly irresistible—but resist she must for the sake of her pupil.
As for the duke himself, it was bad enough when his unknown child landed on his doorstep. Now Lily, with her unassuming beauty, has aroused his most wicked fantasies—and, shockingly, his desire to change his wanton ways. He’s determined to become worthy of her, and so he asks for her help in correcting his behavior.
But Lily has a secret, one that, if it becomes known, could change everything . . .

RECOMMENDED: Counting on a Countess by Eva Leigh is $1.99! I made a yummy cocktail for this book’s release, and Redheadedgirl gave this one a B+:
If you, like me, have a desire for more Poldark, you’ll find a fix here. Like Demelza and Ross, here we have a strong heroine who won’t take any shit, and a hero who is a little bit up his own ass but means well. We also have wild Cornish shores, with some swashbuckling and a touch of derring-do, and some reasonably okay French brandy.
For a shameless libertine and a wily smuggler in the London Underground, marriage is more than convenience—it’s strategy…
Christopher “Kit” Ellingsworth, war veteran and newly minted Earl of Blakemere, buries his demons under every sort of pleasure and vice. His scandalous ways have all but emptied his coffers . . . until a wealthy mentor leaves him a sizeable fortune. The only stipulation? He must marry within one month to inherit the money. Kit needs a bride and the bold, mysterious Miss Tamsyn Pearce seems perfect.
Husband hunting isn’t Tamsyn’s top priority—she’s in London to sell her new shipment of illicit goods—but she’s desperate for funds to keep her smuggling operation afloat. When a handsome earl offers to wed her and send her back to Cornwall with a hefty allowance, Tamsyn agrees. After all, her secrets could land her in prison and an attentive, love-struck spouse could destroy everything.
But when an unexpected proviso in the will grants Tamsyn control of the inheritance, their arrangement becomes anything but convenient. Now, Kit’s counting on his countess to make his wildest dreams a reality and he plans to convince her, one pleasurable seduction at a time.

I’m increasingly uncomfortable with heroes who “seduce” inexperienced H who can’t get over their pantsfeelings long enough to recognize that they’re being manipulated. You can be attracted to someone without losing the ability to reason!
“I’ll seduce a person to use their feelings against them to get what I want” is a shitty way to deal with other humans and it’s not romantic. “I planned to be an asshole but then I fell in loooooooove” still makes you a selfish asshole, especially if you’re only sorry because the H is so virtuous and kind and you come to care for them. That’s not hero, it’s antihero and falling in love doesn’t magically make you a decent person.

That’s a lot of dukes.
Jacinda Bourne, washes up from the sea with amnesia – Is she also a super competent assassin…..
There are several Halloween-ish m/m romances on sale for .99 (apologies for the all-caps – I copied and pasted the list). I haven’t read all of them.
I think I read Prickly Business – hedgehog shifter mm – and wasn’t impressed but I don’t remember any details.
I highly recommend the Irregulars anthology- 4 linked UF stories set around an agency that’s like Men in Black but for the fae not aliens.
I loved the KJ Charles but it’s not for everyone. It’s not exactly a romance – it’s more an episodic series of adventures by a gay couple over their long relationship. It’s her homage to Victorian pulp horror. The first story is a little silly – with a fuck or die set up in a haunted house. But the rest of it is excellent.

I think it’s time to cool it with the dukes.
Are authors directed to use Dukes so they can put them in the titles? How much input does an author have? They must sell because they are EVERYWHERE. I, personally, don’t have strong feelings–having a Duke in a book doesn’t influence me either way. I just think it’s a bit silly.
