He’s got big duke energy…
The Chasing of Eleanor Vane – Sierra Simone
Ajax Dartham, the Duke of Jarrell, has a problem. And that problem is his future niece-in-law. When the clever and capable Lady Eleanor Vane—understandably—runs off into the night rather than marry his horrible nephew, the Duke has a choice. Should he catch Eleanor and return her to her fate—or make Eleanor his own instead?My Dirty Duke – Joanna Shupe
Violet knows that her father’s best friend, the Duke of Ravensthorpe, is the most powerful man in all of London with a reputation for sin. But nothing can stop Violet from wanting to shed her wallflower ways and fulfill her darkest, most forbidden desires…even if it means seducing a man twice her age.An Education In Pleasure – Eva Leigh
As a governess to the Duke of Tarrington, Cecilia Holme resigns herself to a passionless life. Except now the old duke is dead and Owen, the new duke, is very tempting—and much younger. Is the chance to give Owen an education in pleasure too enticing to refuse?Duke For Hire – Nicola Davidson
As her fiery clergyman father chases away all suitors, Miss Ada Blair is resigned to spinsterhood. Yet while she can’t wed, bedding might be another matter. One man meets all her requirements for a discreet and expert pleasure tutor—Jasper Muir, Duke of Gilroy—but he insists on a very wicked contract…The Duke Makes Me Feel… – Adriana Herrera
Dukes and their demands are nothing new for Marena Baine-Torres. Her newfound success has her little apothecary teeming with ill-mannered aristocrats. But as tiresome as they are, she needs the business. When the unflappable Duke of Linley storms into her shop and makes her an offer she’d be a fool to refuse, Marena soon finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime with a man who is as infuriating as he is intriguing.Add to Goodreads To-Read List →

RECOMMENDED: A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas is $2.99! Both Sarah and Carrie read this book and enjoyed it.
Sarah gave it a B+: I haven’t shut up about this book since I finished it. My outbound text messages are mostly hollering, squeeing, and long strings of vowels about this book.
I’m so excited this book exists. I’m so excited that I got to read it. I’m so excited there will be more.
Carrie gave it B: I can’t WAIT to find out what Charlotte, Livia, and Mrs. Watson are up to. I hope it involves them being protective of each other, empowering, and smart. The excitement is palpable!
USA Today bestselling author Sherry Thomas turns the story of the renowned Sherlock Holmes upside down…
With her inquisitive mind, Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper class society. But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London.
When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name. She’ll have help from friends new and old—a kind-hearted widow, a police inspector, and a man who has long loved her. But in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society’s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.

Playing By Her Rules by Amy Andrews is 99c! This is a sports contemporary romance with a rugby-playing hero and second chance romance. This is the first book in a series, but the only books are also on sale! Many loved the slow burn of the second chance romance between the hero and heroine.
In this grudge match, the first to score…
When style columnist Matilda Kent accidentally lets slip that she was once involved with the captain of the Sydney Smoke rugby team, she suddenly finds herself elevated to the position she’s always wanted – feature writer. The catch? She’s stuck doing a six-part series on her ex. Still, there’s no way she can turn down a promotion…or the chance to dish the dirt on the guy who so callously broke her heart.
…could win it all!
Tanner Stone wants to be involved in a feature series about as much as he wants to snap an Achilles. But the thought of seeing Tilly again is a bonus—and has him more worked up than he wants to admit. Only he’s not prepared for how different she is – all cool and professional. His Tilly is still in there, though…and he still wants her, now more than ever. All he has to do is charm her into giving him a rematch. And this time, winner takes all!

The Thief by Michele Hauf is $1.99! Elyse mentioned this on a previous Hide Your Wallet and was interested in the hero and heroine being thieves after the same score. It is on the shorter side though, clocking in at a little less than 200 pages.
The Elite Crimes Unit works behind the scenes of Interpol—and employs some of the world’s most talented criminal minds. Because as everyone knows, it takes a thief to catch a thief—or to seduce one . . .
The old farmhouse in the French countryside is a refuge for former jewel thief Josephine Deveraux. Admittedly, there aren’t many men in the vicinity, but she has her cat to cuddle up with. It’s a far cry from her former life, constantly running from the law, and she’s enjoying her peace . . . until the intruder in the three-piece suit tackles her. He wants her back in the game, helping with a heist—and he’s not above making threats to get his way.
Little does Josephine know that notorious—and notoriously charming—thief, Xavier Lambert, is after the very same 180-carat prize she’s being blackmailed to steal. To his chagrin, he’s doing it not as a free agent, but as a member of the Elite Crimes Unit—the team he was forced to join when his brilliant career came to a sudden end. And little does Xavier know that his comeback is about to include a stranger’s kiss, a stinging slap, and a hunt for missing treasure—along with the infuriatingly sexy woman who’s outfoxing him . . .

The Study in Scarlet Women was very good – I enjoyed it a lot. However, I liked the subsequent books less.
The cover for Duke I’d Like to F …. when I saw it for the first time, I thought “Duke” was a name and it was for a motorcycle club book.
It just struck me that the DILTF cover model reminds me of an older James Franco, or a cross between Franco and Russell Crowe. Or maybe I’m just over-caffeinated.
I liked the Sherry Thomas book but I was so disappointed by one plot element that I didn’t read any more of the series even though I had already bought the second book.
*grabs the Sherry Thomas*
I’ve been waiting for this to go on sale for *ages* awesome!
Anytime I encounter a story that places both hero and heroine on the wrong side of the law (as in The Thief), I can’t help but think of If Tomorrow Comes by Sidney Sheldon. I was absolutely fascinated with it (and the con artist life!) as a teenager.
It’s now been decades since I last re-read it and I am hesitant to do so again, preferring my nostalgic memories to possible newfound disappointment. Has anyone read it or another of Sheldon’s 80’s era books of late, and do they come across as dated?
@Merm8fan – I reread three Sheldon books last year. They really don’t hold up too well – especially The Other Side of Midnight. But sometimes you’re in the mood for 70’s and 80’s brand of crazy: Plots! Revenge! Over-the-top villains! and they do deliver on that front.
TBH I thought the cover of the Playing by Her Rules book was a big cowrie shell and then an giant pistachio shell. *shrug*
@merm8fan @francisco I read The Other Side of Midnight and If Tomorrow Comes when I was about 15; I was lucky I had parents who were checked out and didn’t believe in censoring my reading choices. I applaud anyone who re-reads them because looking back they were both pretty over the top.
@Laura, funnily enough, The Other Side of Midnight is a book that my father, mother, older sister, and I all read in the mid-seventies.
@Francesca – I just looked at the plot summary for The Other Side Of Midnight… yikes! That is some special crazysauce. I am sure I read it back in the day as well, and am kind of glad I have no recollection of it.
@Laura – When I was 12 an older cousin gave me a Mills & Boon (a Penny Jordan) to read while on a summer holiday, and I was blown away. Even after Judy Blume, it was eye-opening. Of course, the stuff I found on used paperback shelves through the rest of the 80’s was even more of a trip. I was probably the same age as you were when I read If Tomorrow Comes. Darn right those were not consumed under parental sight! I may actually have to send in a HABO for a couple of 70’s-80’s publications, because I almost can’t believe the few parts I do remember could be legit.
