Publisher Description

DARE TO FALL IN LOVE

Alexander Savage, the Duke of Blackshire, is known throughout the ton for three things: the burn scars on his neck, his ornery disposition, and the trail of broken hearts behind him. None of which would concern Miss Elizabeth Lacey in the least—if she weren’t living under his roof. As his grandmother’s companion, Beth is all too concerned with the moody and compelling duke. Incensed by his plans to banish the sweet dowager duchess to the country, Beth refuses to do his bidding. If Alex wants her help, he’s going to have to take her dare…and grant her three wishes.

Alex adores his grandmother, which is precisely why she must leave. A string of unfortunate incidents has him worried for the safety of everyone around him—including the dowager’s loyal and lovely companion, Beth. But the notorious wallflower isn’t as meek as she appears, and as their battle of wills heats up, so does Alex’s desire. He’s dangerously close to falling in love with her…and revealing secrets he’d rather keep hidden. How can he convince her that his darkest days are behind him—and that, for the first time in forever, his heart is true?

I Dared the Duke continues Anna Bennett's Regency-era romance series, The Wayward Wallflowers.

I Dared the Duke

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I thought the novel is well-written. The writing flowed and it was easy to read.

The story has a contemporary feel in the way that the duke and Elizabeth interacted and spoke to each other. It would seem that in serving the role of a companion, the heroine would have showed some amount of deference to the duke, especially since she would have grown up with knowledge of the peerage and rules of behavior would have been drilled into her. I found it a little hard to connect to the heroine. I found it easier to connect to the duke and his desire to protect his grandmother and Elizabeth.

The hero and heroine do share some great dialogue where they reveal their feelings. I really liked the ending of this story and felt the author did a great job of revealing the characters' love for each other.

Captivating Characters

Loved, loved the story of Beth and Alex. Two very strong characters who both learn that labels/rumors are not always true. Their journey is filled with love, laughs and tears! You won’t be disappointed!
