Duchess By Night

A Mischievous Charade . . .

Harriet, Duchess of Berrow, is tired of her title and the responsibilities that come along with it. Enough with proper tea parties and elegant balls; what Harriet really wants is to attend an outrageous soiree where she can unleash her wildest whims and desires. But to attend such an event—especially if the event in question is Lord Justinian Strange's rollicking fete, filled with noble rogues and rotters, risqué ladies and illicit lovers—would be certain scandal. That's why she must disguise herself . . .

Looking forward to a night of uninhibited pleasure, Lord Strange is shocked to discover that beneath the clothes of a no-good rake is the most beautiful woman in the room. Why is a woman like her risking her reputation at his notorious affair? And can he possibly entice her to stay . . . forever?

Skip work and read this

I gave this book 4 stars only because I found the first 2 chapters dull and I couldn't figure out what the first chapter had to do with the rest of the story. I actually had to flip to the back of the book to make sure I was reading about one of the main characters.

If you can get passed the boring first 2 chapters this book takes off and I ended up really liking it! This author has a way of writing that makes it hard to put the book down. This was my first book by this author, but I'm definitely going to buy more now.

This book would be worth skipping work to read.

Disappointment

This book was really difficult for me to get through. I found it boring, and I felt the description on the back made the book seem like it was going to be more exciting than it was. Read disappointment.

Duchess pretends to be a man....

I liked this book , it had solid characters, great dialogue and some interesting plot/history twists. Harriet, Duchess of Berrow is a widow (her husband committed suicide) and she wants some life back. She decides to follow her friends to Lord Strange's home , dressed as a man. Lord Strange starts having feels for Harriet dressed as man.... I read this book on the way up to the Lake - enjoyable.
