What I Did For a Duke


For years, he's been an object of fear, fascination...and fantasy. But of all the wicked rumors that shadow the formidable Alexander Moncrieffe, Duke of Falconbridge, the ton knows one thing for certain: only fools dare cross him. And when Ian Eversea does just that, Moncrieffe knows the perfect revenge: he'll seduce Ian's innocent sister, Genevieve—the only Eversea as yet untouched by scandal. First he'll capture her heart...and then he'll break it.

But everything about Genevieve is unexpected: the passion simmering beneath her cool control, the sharp wit tempered by gentleness...And though Genevieve has heard the whispers about the duke's dark past, and knows she trifles with him at her peril, one incendiary kiss tempts her deeper into a world of extraordinary sensuality. Until Genevieve is faced with a fateful choice...is there anything she won't do for a duke?

Can we read it as a stand alone?

Started reading and loved the first chapter.

I finished reading. (view spoiler)[I wondered if Genevieve would have ever realised her love towards Alex if he hadn't given Rosemont to Harry. I didn't like that she didn't confess to Harry about having sex with Alex before accepting his proposal.
Other than that this one is good (hide spoiler)]

I finished reading and enjoyed it. This is the third book in the series I have read, the others being the last two, 10 and 11 I think. This author seems to make her heroes masculine, sexually VERY experienced, not too kind or forgiving, to my mind-assholes.
(view spoiler)[I agree that Genevieve ended up with her right match, but I am not as big a fan of Alex. After all, he did set out to ruin an innocent to take revenge on her brother, something she had no control over. (hide spoiler)]
