The Notorious Nobleman

by Nancy Lawrence

A short story, set in Regency England.


When prim and proper Lady Julia Pettingale seeks shelter from a thunderstorm in an abandoned cottage, she never dreams that a handsome stranger might do the same. And when she discovers that the appealing rake is none other than the notorious Duke of Warminster, she’s intrigued to discover whether the rumors of his scandalous behavior might be true. A few hours spent alone in the company of that handsome blackguard could mean the ruin of Julia’s reputation . . . or the transformation of the Duke’s black heart. Will the emotional lightning that strikes them change their lives?

I love the old sweet, clean, traditional Regency romances. Thanks to the 99 cent price I decided to read this one (also because I LOVED her book Pride and Prejudice sequel, Mary and the Captain). I was pleasantly surprised. In this story the hero and heroine are forced to spend time together while they wait out a storm. At first they appear to have nothing in common, until each reveals a secret about their pasts. It was nice to read a story that showcases the characters themselves and relies less on activities or action. It gave more of a sense of their building romance as they got to know each other. It was a nice, feel-good, romantic story, and a quick read. I enjoyed it.
