The Duke I Tempted
The Duke I Tempted | Scarlett Peckham
11 posts | 13 read | 5 to read
Hes controlled. Meticulous. Immaculate. No one would expect the proper Duke of Westmead to be a member of Londons most illicit secret club. Least of all: his future wife. Having overcome financial ruin and redeemed his family name to become the most legendary investor in London, the Duke of Westmead needs to secure his holdings by producing an heir. Which means he must find a wife who wont discover his secret craving to spend his nights on his knees or make demands on his long scarred-over heart. Poppy Cavendish is not that type of woman. An ambitious self-taught botanist designing the garden ballroom in which Westmead plans to woo a bride, Poppy has struggled against convention all her life to secure her hard-won independence. She wants the capital to expand her exotic nursery business not a husband. But there is something so compelling about Westmead, with his starchy bearing and impossibly kind eyes -- that when an accidental scandal makes marriage to the duke the only means to save her nursery, Poppy worries she wants more than the title he is offering. The arrangement is meant to be just business. A greenhouse for an heir. But Poppy yearns to unravel her husbands secrets and to tempt the duke to risk his heart.

I really liked the protagonists in this one, but their communication problems got really annoying really fast. 😑

Y‘all, this is exactly as predictable and as extra as I was expecting, and it‘s a ride. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ #thedukeitempted #scarlettpecham #secretsofcharlottestreet

Honestly, romance novels aren‘t my books of choice, but the titles of this trilogy made me laugh, so I figured what the hell, it might at least be entertaining, if not a literary masterpiece. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ (Also, I‘m a little sniffly and achy today, so something mindless is a good plan.) #thedukeitempted #scarlettpeckham #secretsofcharlottestreet

Really enjoyed this one. Was expecting a much steamier read for a historical romance with BDSM elements (and there was some, yes). Fun marriage of convenience story. Will happily read more by her.

Archer is looking for a wife and wants to keep it as businesslike as possible. Unfortunately he stumbles upon Poppy. She can see through to him and get him out of his shell but can Archer really show Poppy where his true desires lie? Oh, this book. It beautifully handles some very sensitive material and during a period romance no less. I will be checking out the other work by this author. #romantsy

Not your typical brain candy romance, but well written and with interesting characters. Poppy Cavendish is a decidedly modern woman in 18th century England, but that is part of her charm. Just be aware: if your taste in romances runs to chaste stories, this is not for you.

This is not your mama's romance novel. First of all,it Doesn't end when the characters get married. I'd call that the 2/3rds point. Also, the female character is super assertive business owner. Both characters are well developed and their sex life is fun.

(My view tonight as I write this review..😂)
LOVED this book and I highly recommend if you enjoy Victorian Era romance. The heroine is a botanist, and this new author (this being her first published novel!) has definitely done her research. ❤️

RadicalReader @CherylSwafford absolutely utterly phenomenal dog!! What‘s the puppy‘s name and breed? 6y

Peri and I just got back from meeting a friend and her pup for a walk at the muggy and mosquito infested nature park. Not the most pleasant walk. Looking forward to some reading time.

#currentlyreading this historical romance with some bdsm elements. #romantsy

This one is a debut novel and its not your typical historical romance. It does have BDSM elements but its the circuitous courtship between Archer and Poppy that kept my attention. I definitely would recommend this one plus the cover is just gorgeous😍
