You're the Duke That I Want | Lenora Bell
2 posts | 2 read
USA Today bestseller Lenora Bell returns with a Grease-inspired rom-com about an innocent lady who clashes with a sexy rake, the first book in a brand-new series sure to delight fans of Sarah MacLean, Tessa Dare, and Julia Quinn.Raised by an overprotective mother, bookish romantic Sandrine Oliver craves adventure, but nothing exciting ever happens in her sleepy seaside village. Until a handsome, mysterious stranger arrives and sweeps her off her feet...only to leave suddenly with no explanation. Lord Dane Walker, brother to the Duke of Rydell, is infamous for racing fast carriages and breaking hearts. But when his brother is mortally injured, Dane inherits the responsibilities of the dukedom--duties that come with a dangerous secret which threatens everyone close to him. In London, Sandrine is astonished to learn that the charming, honorable man she met at the beach is really a disreputable rake. And the infuriating nobleman acts as though he barely knows her.Who needs a wild rake? Certainly not Sandrine! With a little help from her friends, she transforms into a glamorous belle. She's out to make Dane pay...but can she stop her traitorous heart from longing to surrender only to him?

I may not be hopelessly devoted to this Regency era Grease! Retelling, but it's great for those Summer Nights... Tell you more? Tell you more?
It was lust at first sight when notorious rake Dane, heir presumptive to the Duke of Rydell sees prim and proper Sandrine floating in a secluded bay "drowning". I laughed so hard at his "rescue". And though Sandrine may be lousy with virginity, she has a wicked list she sets out to fulfill. Scandal!

Was this the absolute best book ever? No. Was it still a solid, fun, lighthearted #retelling of Grease as a historical romance? Hell yeah. Dane and Sandrine had my heart, and the ways the Grease story was adapted for the time just made me giggle. Can't wait to see what's next! #historicalromance
