2 -- IT BREAKS MY HEART TO WRITE THIS --stars.
I love Sarah MacLean, and I really wanted to like this, but the story was a big WTF?!!
Words =/= actions
Oh right... a guy hell bent on revenge and can only see his hate for this woman, buys her a new wardrobe and fusses over non stop?? WTF? Oh, how evil!! (NOT!)

Selfish actions =/= I love you
So for a lady feeling guilty of framing the Duke for murder and causing him so much pain, she proves it by causing more pain and then more pain?

And then everyone ...more

Sarah MacLean’s Rule of Scoundrels series are some of my very favorite stories ever. I’ve loved each and every one, and am always left dying for more!

Nein, nein, nein! Das war wirklich nichts, zumindest nicht das was ich erwartet habe. Was nicht heißen soll, dass "No Good Duke Goes Unpunished" ein wirklich schlechter Historical ist, aber ich weiß, dass Sarah MacLean, das eigentlich besser kann, so ist "No Good Duke Goes Unpunished" bestenfalls ein durchschnittlicher Historical und in meiner Bewertung ist zu einem nicht unerheblichen Teil schon ein Autorenbonus eingeflossen.
