Gain A Duke To Die For (The Rogues' Dynasty #1) Designed By Amelia Grey EBook

decided to chuck this one, Too many other books that I want to read to waste more time on atrocity, just was not enjoying at all, Enjoyed it very much but the end seemed rushed, When I choose to read a romance novel it means I'm in the mood for adventure, laughter, tears or anything that might relate to "fun" and pure entertainment.
Sadly this book misses all the marks for me and most of all it's lacking in emotional growth, The only good parts were the depictions of the surroundings and the time feeling was quite appropriate, but still it's not enough, At the end you're asking yourself why in the world these two people have fallen for each other, IMHO the aim of any romance novel regency, medieval, contemporary etc, it doesn't matter should be, apart from the plot which here is totally absent the showing of the uniqueness of each love story and its dynamics, After all is said and done, the magic is all in there and here I found none, Spirited, alluring, and witty!

A Duke to Die For is set in London during the earlys and features the bold, feisty, Henrietta Tweed who after her previous five guardians have passed, possibly due to a childhood curse, finds herself under the care and the ward of the roguishly handsome, fifth Duke of Blakewell, Lucien Trent.


The prose is authentic and mischievous, The characters are confident, daring, and endearing, And the plot is an amusing blend of mystique, attraction, regency lifestyle, desire, yearning, gossip, tricky situations, danger, and titillating romance,

Overall, A Duke to Die For is adventurous, enticing, and delightfully steamy, Its the first book in The Rogues Dynasty series by Grey and is a wonderful choice for anyone who enjoys the historical romance genre,

Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review, Another Guardian.

Blake, the Duke of Blakewell, unexpectedly finds himself the guardian to a lady, a nineteen year old lady, From a list of now dead guardians, Blake is the last one on the list, Miss Henrietta Tweed doesn't want or need a guardian, All she wants is her inheritance to buy herself a home and never have to leave it, Besides, it works out for the best to protect Blake from the curse of death for being her guardian, The enchanting love story of a rake who never thought he would marry, A DUKE TO DIE FOR is the first in Amelia Greys Rogues Dynasty books, A DUKE TO DIE FOR is about Duke Blakewell and Henrietta Tweed, while the next two will be about Blackwells two cousins Lord Raceworth and Lord Morgangale.


Great fun sums up this story quite well, Despite his initial bluster, Blakewell isnt quite as bad as his reputation makes him out to be, At least he takes his role as Duke quite seriously even if he is a tad absentminded, so maybe it's more he hasnt had time to keep up his reputation as the Devilish Duke.
Henrietta, for all her superstitions, is rather levelheaded and mature, Shes only nineteen, but shows more sense then many of the older people of the story,

As for the curse, it truly was a selffulfilling prophecy, I think, Sure enough, if you go looking for trouble, you can subscribe just about any ordinary event to it, What I was really pleased by was Blakewell and how quickly he understood Henrietta, There wasnt any misunderstandings between them, and even if he didnt always believe what Henrietta said who would believe a curse was put upon a seven year old girl, he didnt condescend or make light of it.


I look forward, eagerly, to the next two books although I have a feeling Blakewell might keep my heart, Sejak beli terjemahannya ampe sekarang ga selesaibacanya hehehe, . . Sekarang dipaksa'in aja bacanya ampe abis karena lagi bingung mo baca yang mana, Dari segi cerita tidak ada yang spesial, tidak ada intrik yang seru, tokohnya pun tidak ada spesial, heroine amp hero saling tertarik sejak pertama kali bertemu jadinya bikin ngantuk bacanya, belum lagi soal balon udara dan kutukan yang sebenarnya hanya belum tentu benar tapi dibesarkan oleh heroine, jadi tambah ngantuk ah! Meski biasaaja tapi aku tetap suka karena tidak ada tokoh yang ngerusak mood.
A fun, light, nostress historical romance! This is just what I have been in the mood for lately,

When Miss Henrietta Tween lands at the door of her new guardian, the Duke of Blackwells London home she is weary Since the age ofshes been throughguardians after tragically loosing her parents.
She is cursed to loose anyone who cares for her, Lonely and concerned fro his safety, Henrietta is surprised to see the young Duke and becomes even more concerned when her feelings get attached to him, She must do something to keep him safe from her curse,

Lucian Blakewell was living the life of Riley until the young and beautiful Miss Tweed shows up, He will put everything at his disposal to find her a husband and have his peace restored until he discovered that exactly not what he wants! Can he convince her to let the curse be damned and take a chance on loving him

I loved

the easy pacing and linear narrative.
Blake and Henrietta complimented each other so well, and it was fun to see them fall for each other and fight the repercussions of that love, Sometimes a romance will have very high highs and low lows, which can add great drama and suspense, I appreciated this book for the easy going story and lighter drama, This book didnt make me go through a wave of emotions, but kept me happy and enjoying it throughout,

If you are looking for high drama, this is not for you, but if you are looking for a fun romance with great side characters and an electric opposites attract pairing this book is you you.
A perfect easy read summer romance,

ADukeToDieFor AmeliaGrey pinkcowlandreads A good start for a trilogy series, It was an okay Regency romance,
Unfortunately, the plot is extremely familiar amp predictable, But let's be honest, most plots are, We read them b/c we like the writers who create great characters, some surprises amp good stories regardless,

Henrietta amp Lucien have good chemistry, I was a bit perturbed to read that thelead men cousins didn't get along which I thought was an unnecessary detail, But by the end of the book, the rivalry mentioned earlier has dissipated and they're best buds,
I wasn't keen on the Lord Chesterfield quotes at the beginning of each chapter,
I liked the author's historical note at the end of the book,

The only negative is that it was too long, .
