I didn't like this one as much as a couple of the other Katherine Ashe books. I think the Rogue one was my favorite. ( )

I MARRIED THE DUKE by Katharine Ashe is an exciting Regency Historical Romance. #1 in "The Prince Catchers",and what a beginning!

"Three very different sisters beguile society with their beauty and charm, but only one of them must fulfill a prophecy: marry a prince. Who is the mystery Prince Charming, and which sister will be his bride?"

"I Married The Duke" is the story of Arabella Caulfield, the middle Caulfield sister,the stronger of the three sisters,who is looking for her Prince Charming and their father,what she finds is.... Lucian (Luc) Westfall,new Duke of Lycombe,a sea Captain with a tortured soul,partially blind,with a wounded soul and not looking for a Duchess or love. But enter.....Arabella,who is searching for the identity of her father. As children they where placed aboard a ship by their mother, sent to England,along the way the ship sank,they where the only survivors with their nanny,they are considered orphans,with a mother who was a possible harlot. No one knows who their true identities, all they have is a ring their mother placed within their care.They where taken in by a priest and raised as his children.

This is a powerful story of meeting your destiny,your fate and finding your true love. Filled with secrets,danger,passion,an attempted murder or two,trust issues,misunderstandings and love. You see Luc is not all he appears to be either.

Fast paced and passion filled with plenty of action and adventure. If you enjoy historical romance with a bit of mystery,and lots of passion than don't miss "I Married The Duke". The question remains,who is the Caulfield sibling's father and what is their true identity? A wonderful read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Another hit by this author. I can hardly wait for the next installment in "The Prince Catchers",which sister will find her true love next, I wander? And will their true identities shock us all when it is finally revealed? Well written with engaging and charming characters and an interesting as well as intriguing storyline. I loved it! Well done indeed!! Received for an honest review from the publisher and Edelweiss.
