This was funny. I loved Ivory. She was awesome - she was smart and logical and resourceful and funny. She was so practical about everything and it was very refreshing. Plus she was a total badass - none of this waiting around for someone to save her - she came into things with her own plan for getting out. I especially liked the ending - choosing herself over a man? That was freaking brilliant - I loved that the author made her strong and brave and unwilling to compromise on getting what she deserved and that it was Max that had to come around and bend. Too often with book romance - it's only the women willing to yield to the demands. But this was perfection. Max I felt could be too heavy handed at times. He irritated me a bit with some of his comments and particularly the ending -planning to skip out on Beatrice and Ivory really let the story down. To be fair though, I did like Max and he did have his redeeming moments. I really liked all the characters, they were all interesting and complex and everyone worked well together. I loved Gil - I want to read her story. The plot was riveting as well and I found myself devouring the story. 4.5 stars. (

A delightful departure from the usual Regency romance, in that the main characters are unconventional in the extreme, and prefer a life lived outside of the ton. I enjoyed the mystery, Ivory's deep competence, the web of women taking care of business, and the clever play that continues throughout the book. Smoking hot romance does not hurt, and it was believably portrayed, from intense initial attraction eventual love story. (

If Scandal (the tv show) was a romance novel set in regency England and Olivia found someone actually not horrible to be with, this would be the result.

Entertaining.

It started with a mystery that lead to a romance and my hanging on every word. Ivory was a regency Olivia Pope. She could spin a scenario, find clues and solve puzzles. I was awed by her accomplishments. Her latest case has brought her in contact with the Duke of Harcourt. Duke of My Heart has become a favorite story of mine. Kelly Bowen has created intelligent characters that are a joy to get to know. I love any story that let's me feel like part of the action. Duke of My Heart is a romance that is clever and full of surprises. With a strong female lead to guide the way I found it a fresh escape. (

3.4 stars

The hero bumbles around a lot and doesn't get an opportunity to shine while the heroine was strong and awesome. Overall, the historical feel was missing for me, not sure if due to how the heroine was living her life or what but I missed it. The hero just wasn't a strong presence for me and the mystery part of the story felt a little vague and over with earlier on. The author's writing is incredibly strong and I enjoy it but I almost feel like she would be a better fit in contemporaries.

Embarrassingly, I spent a good portion of the latter half of the story fantasizing about Beatrice and King having their own book. Or maybe Captain Black and Beatrice, I think either of those two would be an amazing match for her.
Either way, gimme King's book! (
