2.5 stars - because Sheffield was cute!
This is the third and final book in Isabella Bradford’s trilogy about the Wylder sisters. Having married off both Charlotte and Lizzie to suitable dukes, the focus now shifts to Diana, the youngest sister; but whereas both her sisters had been betrothed from childhood, no such arrangement was made for Diana.
Like her sisters, she is beautiful, vivacious and headstrong, and at the beginning of the story we are told that she has already got herself into severa More...

I loved this book, the way Ms Bradford described Fantome or Moniseur le Gros I had to laugh out loud. I wanted to go buy a white dog just so I could name him Fantome. This book was cute and romantic and had me laughing.
This book is like a soap opera. First we have Lady Dianna Wylder who is unmarried and has a wild streak. Her mother arranges a marriage between Lady Dianna and Lord Crump who is opposite of Dianna. Lord Crump just wants a son and doesn’t really want to be married. Dianna’s mother More...

Isabella Bradford’s third Wylder Sisters novel has all the best that regency romance offers. Willful heroine who ducks convention and chafes at society’s roles? Check. Sassy hero with killer dimples and an attitude the size of Big Ben? Check. Crazy families that drive one nuts? Check. And of course, a plot that includes mismatched couples and daring trickery…

Lady Diana is the wildest Wylder sister of all. She believes in dashing suitors, love and fairytale endings, all in that order. Unfortunately for Diana, her mother has firmly decided her youngest daughter will marry Lord Crump. After all, marriage to a severe man like Lord Crump will smooth over Diana’s past behavior and make her the picture of refinement.

WHEN THE DUKE FOUND LOVE by Isabella Bradford is another exciting Regency historical romance. Book #3 in the "Wylder Sisters"series,but can be read as a stand alone, although, I would recommend reading all three of these engaging and entertaining stories. See, "When You Wish Upon A Duke" and "When The Duchess Said Yes". What a wonderful and exciting conclusion to this amazing,fast paced story of three country siblings and their intended cousin Dukes. Lady Diana,is the youngest Wylder sibling and More...

When The Duke Found Love is the third and final book in Wylder Sisters Trilogy. It is a fun little romp amongst the ton by two of it's brightest stars.. and the two who in today's world would have Most Likely to Create a Scandal under their pictures in the yearbook. Isabella Bradford shares a fun time in this book.

I received an ARC of this book to review and I have to admit I was a little bit disappointed. The two main characters Lady Diana Wylder and the Duke of Sheffield seem more like immature children then responible adults. Lady Diana has had a few indescretions and is now being told that she has to make a respectable marriage. Her mother produces Lord Crump, who seems to be a stodgy man with rigid discipline and strong morals. Lady Diana is turned off immediately because he is not a handsome man and More...

This installment in Isabella Bradford’s Wylder sisters series is as much fun as the ones that come before it. Diana Wylder is torn between her notion of what she should do and what she wants to do. Her mother pushes a marriage with an objectionable, extremely severe Lord Crump because he seems like the type to “tame” Diana’s wildness. However, her attraction to the Duke of Sheffield, handily cousin to the husbands of her sisters, works to encourage her wild side. Sheffield, with his ugly little More...

When The Duke Found Love is the third book in the Wylder Sisters series. Although it is a series, these books can be read as a standalone, as I have done, but if you enjoy this one like I did then it is definitely worth investing in the other two books, which I will be doing!

When the Duke Found Love (Kindle Edition)
Book 3 "When The Duke Found Love" just didn't work for me. I loved the hero Duke Sheffield and his character was written well that is why I gave the story two stars instead of one. Sheffield is tall, handsome, rich and a Duke, everything a girl dreams about. However, Ms. Bradford tries to make the case that he is suppose to be a rake and the worst sort of a rogue. Its unbelievable because he is written opposite to this. Diana is the 3rd and last Wlyder si More...

I received this book in a giveaway and I am so glad I got it. Isabella Bradford is new to me, but after reading WHEN THE DUKE FOUND LOVE I will definitely be looking for more from her. I love, love, loved this book! It's an arranged marriage story except that the hero and heroine are both arranged to marry someone else, because of their duty to their families. How they realize they love each another, and what they have to do to make it work, is the story, but it's the characters that make this s More...

Lady Diana is the youngest of three daughters. She's the only one who isn't betrothed at a young age, set up by her late father. At eighteen, she needs to start looking for a husband, especially since she's been involved in some scandalously improper behaviour. Unfortunately for her, instead of a loving father finding a good match for her, her mother, Lady Cecilia Hervey is in charge.
Lady Diana's mother loves her dearly, but it's obvious the mother is completely oblivious. She's dumb as a doorn More...

Let me apologize right up front with our readers because I am about to be blunt: I hated this book. The basic plot outline is one that Historical readers have seen a hundred times over; Young woman is pushed into an arranged marriage but falls in love with someone else. Because we’ve all seen this story before, the book is going to succeed or fail on the merits of how the author brings new ideas to the circumstances and breathes life into her characters. In When the Duke Found Love, author Isabe More...

Lady Diana is the last of the Wyler sisters, but before her father can make a match he passes away. Now she wants to find a handsome husband like her two sisters did before her. Her family finds a man for her Lord Crump who is a stuffy type of person and rarely shows Diana any warmth. A kiss from the Duke of Sheffield makes matters worse as now she is torn between duty and being who she really is.

Lady Diana Wylder is the youngest and the last of the unwed sisters, she is also the most 'wildest' one with a few indiscretion in her past. In order to tame her and save her family from embarrassment, she is promised to Lord Crump, an older dull man that is really in need of someone to bare him a heir.

Willful Lady Diana, the youngest of the Wylder sisters, has dallied with a rake one too many times and now her family is in a rush to get her married to salvage her reputation. The dull and dour Lord Crump has agreed to wed her but Diana cannot forget her recent chance encounter with the Duke of Sheffield, a charming, dashing cousin of her brothers-in-law (his identity was unbeknownst to her at the time).

Lady Diana is the youngest of her three sisters and it has come time for her to marry, especially since she has had a few indiscretions already but since her sisters are duchesses she is hanging on to her respectability. Through some persuasion from her sisters and mother, she agrees to a marriage to a man she doesn't know. After all, the arranged marriages for her sisters worked out wonderfully so it can happen again, right? Wrong. Her intended is a dreadful bore and not suited for her at all. More...

My full review.
I liked both Diana and Sheffield plus I enjoyed watching them decide for themselves that what they wanted from life was each other. And that probably says a whole lot more about me than it does about Bradford or this book. I also think this book, more than the other two, shows off Bradford’s clever style and wit.
I loved these characters.
I give When the Duke Found Love 4.5 out of 5 stars. More...

Lady Diana has caused her family enough stress and embarrassment. So her mother finds her a husband. Also in town the Duke of Sheffield has agreed to a loveless marriage to save his own embarrassment. But as they are meeting their intended they happen to meet each other as well. If only their families had chosen more wisely.
I had not read the previous two books about the Wylder sisters. But this didn't seem to detract from the book. There was very little conflict and it was probably very unreal More...

When the Duke Found Love is the third book in the Wylder Sisters trilogy. This one was probably my least favorite of the series because I felt there was some emotion and conflict that was begun but never really explored. I never fully understood/accepted why her family was pushing Diana in to a marriage so young. I also felt that they almost portrayed the oldest sister, the heroine from the first book, as a villain for pushing the marriage on Diana. To go from being the heroine to being the bad More...

Sheffield is amazing and all things sweet, and his little bulldog steals all the scenes he's in. I'm not sure how I liked the ending of the book or more importantly the series. I feel like something was missing. Maybe it's just me. It was an easy enjoyable read. Glad I read it.

I really enjoyed this book. In the Regency period it wasn't as common for people to marry for love but Lady Diana Wylder and the Duke of Sheffield wanted exactly that. It just took them awhile to reach their happy ending as each was promised to another.
This is the third book in the author's "Wylder Sisters" trilogy, but I had no trouble relating to the characters even though I have not read the previous books. This book can stand alone.

The final book in the series was a disappointment to me. It was boring, too long and dragged on and on. Diana had good reasons for what she did but she needed to voice them. At least what Sheffield did was kind but like I said, boring, long and dragged on and on.
