"Waking Up With The Duke" made my long flight from Vilnius Lithuania to Newark NJ, and on to Atlanta, on a plane with a plethora of screaming kids, pass so quickly I was disappointed to land before finishing it!! This is a clever, NEW and unexpected Ducal romance twist you'll enjoy! Being a non-fiction author, and a history buff, I read voraciously,in many genres, and it takes a lot to impress me--particularly in the field of historic romance. I had never read Lorraine Heath before, but after reading "Waking Up With the Duke" I can highly recommend her to readers of Romance fiction. In this story, Ms. Heath came up with a mesmerizing premise,which woke ME right up!(Alas!'Twas NOT with a Duke in the adjacent airplane seat, nor at home in my "Kingsize" bed!) She is truly a stellar craftmaster. She maintains a good pace throughout, and invents enough twists and changes along the route to keep the reader involved with the plot, and turning the pages, anxious to find out what could, or will, possibly happen NEXT in this improbable, but not unimaginable,two-family dilemma. Her characters are exceptionally well drawn, and the story's sexual tension and scintillating premise entrances the reader from the opening well-baited hook, "I'll consider your debt paid if you get my wife with child..." right up to the very end. I've awarded this book five stars because it is tops in its ability to enthrall and satisfy the reader. Don't miss it! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

I was skeptical on how all of this would play out from reading the book description and even from the beginning of the book but in true Lorraine Heath fashion if was a fantastic read that I couldn’t put down. A heart wrenching journey, but they got their happily ever after. I absolutely loved the complexity of the characters and their emotions on the situation. I don’t want to give any plot spoilers because she is such a master at hiding little clues to keep you turning the page to find out w...

A heart wrenching journey, but they got their happily ever after. I absolutely loved the complexity of the characters and their emotions on the situation. I don’t want to give any plot spoilers because she is such a master at hiding little clues to keep you turning the page to find out what secrets are the driving force of the characters actions. Highly recommend this book but suggest starting with the first book and reading the whole series! Just wonderful!
