The Duke of Monfort takes a wife.
Gregory Diner, a young duke caught unprepared for his role, needs a companion. When he meets Cecilia, he knows she has the grace and intelligence his duchess will need.
Lady Cecilia never expected more than a marriage of mutual benefit, but she’s still surprised when the duke proposes an alliance between them.
Will love find a place in this practical arrangement?
My Review:
Fun and flirty and delightfully swoonworthy!
This is a case of the prequel being written after the series (Clairvoir Romances) and I think it’s because Sally Britton fans have been clamouring for the duke and duchess’s love story after reading their children’s romances. I’ve read all but one of the Clairvoir novels so I found this sweet novella extra enchanting. I think you could also enjoy it as an introduction to the series though.
It’s a fast, snappy read, but don’t let the shorter length fool you — this novella has all the romantical elements I’ve come to expect (and thoroughly enjoy) from this author. Banter. Characters with depth. More banter. Social etiquette that both delights and appalls. Even more banter! A toe-curling kiss…or two. And…oh…just all that delightful b-a-n-t-e-r!!! (Can you guess what my favourite part of a Sally Britton book is?)
I listened to the audio edition and loved it as much as all the other books in this series. Jessica Elisa Boyd has become the voice I hear in my head when I think of all these characters — really love it when the same performer narrates an entire series.

Today’s Top Ten Post is audiobook narrators, and since I just finished my post, that’s what is on my mind. I have only listened to one of her books (Mr. Gardiner and the Governess). I would love to hear who some of your other favorite audiobook narrators are…if you want to pop over to my post and list some there, I know other book bloggers would love to hear what you have to say 🙂 I need to catch up on Sally Britton’s books. cilydav at hotmail dot com

Another cover that draws me in with the use of purple – LOVE IT!
Love a story with the banter between characters that brings them more to life than just he said, she said. “A Duchess for the Duke” sounds like it fills that bill plus some. Can’t wait for the opportunity to read it.
Thank you for your review, taking the time to bring this wonderful books to the forefront of our attention, and for the chance to win a copy!
