The Duke is Wicked

The Duke is Wicked by Tracy Sumner 2021 Regency Supernatural

This Regency provides an added element of the supernatural and the formation of the League of Lords, which is the basis of the series Sumner has written. This is the third book in the series but can be read independently.

Sebastian Fitzerald Tremont has the power to start fires, and his friends calls him “Fireball.” He fears his powers and hasn’t formed a romantic attraction although he plans to propose to Kitty, who also is a member of the League and can disappear. They do not love each other, but he has inherited the title of duke, which Kitty covets.

His friends Julian can see images if he touches an object and is married to Piper (book 1) while Finn reads minds and is married to Victoria (book 2). Humprey is a big fighter and Simon a teen pickpocket who can talk to ghost.

American Delaney Temple is dubbed “Lady Nuisance” by the ton and does what she pleases. She is not impressed by the duke’s title but is attracted to him, especially after saving him from a bee sting that triggers an allergic reaction. She can memorize anything she reads and store it in her “attic” of a brain. Someone is blackmailing her for information about the Chronology or occult book and a soul catcher stone. They invite her to join the League and help her.

Sebastian and Delaney verbally, physically, and emotionally battle through the pages of the book with their romance, which is spicy for a Regency with the heated love scenes Sumner scripts.

I kept thinking of the supernatural heroes popular from comics when reading this and realizing supernatural powers can be owned by anyone from any time period. In these books, the characters battle to control their powers and have to come to terms with sharing their gifts with the women they love, who also share powers of their own.
