loretta chase ten things i hate about the duke

This was quite a fun and far more palatable look at a romance featuring an intelligent woman who comes across as prickly, and a shiftless and (at first) drunken man who falls head over heels for her. The only way to right the wrong is to marry her…and hope she doesn’t smother him in his sleep on their wedding night.Īnd what I mean by that is if you took the funny, spunky part of Shakespeare's classic, got rid of the parts where Kate ended up being brainwashed into thinking it was cool to bow to her asshole of a husband's every whim, and put it in a bodice ripper setting? Well, then you'd have Ten Things I Hate About the Duke. Still, troublemaker that he is, he knows that damaging a lady’s good name isn’t sporting. He nearly killed one of his two best friends. He’s lost a perfectly good bride through his own carelessness. The Duke of Ashmont’s looks make women swoon. Now, thanks to a certain wild-living nobleman, the last shreds of Cassandra’s reputation are about to disintegrate, taking her sister’s future and her family’s good name along with them. But her extremely plain speaking has caused an uproar, and her exasperated father, hoping a husband will rein her in, has ruled that her beloved sister can’t marry until Cassandra does. USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this delightful spin on Shakespeare's classic, The Taming of the Shrew.Ĭassandra Pomfret holds strong opinions she isn’t shy about voicing.
