Publisher Description

Imogen, Lady Maitland, has decided to dance on the wild side. After all, she's in the delicious position of being able to take a lover. A discreet male who knows just when to leave in the morning.

But Lady Maitland is still under the watchful eye of her former guardian, the wildly untamed Rafe, the Duke of Holbrook. He believes she is still in need of a "watchdog." She laughs at the idea that someone so insufferably lazy and devoted to drink can demand that she behave with propriety.

It's Rafe's long-lost brother, a man who looks precisely like the duke but with none of his degenerate edge, who interests Imogen. To Imogen, he's the shadow duke . . . the man who really should hold the title. But when Imogen agrees to accompany Gabe to a masquerade...whose masked eyes watch her with that intense look of desire? Who exactly is she dancing with? The duke or the shadow duke? Rafe . . . or Gabe?

I just finished reading The Taming of the duke and for the life of me I don't know why I passed this book up all those years ago. It must have been the mature subject matter of widowhood and alcoholism that I thought wouldn't appeal. I was wrong. I very much enjoyed this book.

Tedious....at best

The first book of this four-part series was definitely the best one, but it wasn’t great. Although, I barely made it through Annabel’s story and skipped pages and chapters in this book.

There were way too many side stories and “supporting” characters in his book and my thought is because the main story was so weak, the book needed the extra filler.

I won’t read the the fourth book.

My favorite

Delightful. I loved every bit of it. All the characters are so endearing and it was a joy to see them find happiness.
