The Rogues' Dynasty

review 1: With this book Amelia Grey has written a romance with a great sense of fun and humor. I read many different genres of romance books and enjoy coming back to this style of romance. I will be mixing more of Amelia Grey's books into my reading list. On my Nook the book listed 271 pages.What is a roguish young nobleman supposed to do with a shockingly lovely young ward?The Duke of Blakewell believes he'd better marry her off as soon as possible, before he gives in to temptation himself...But Henrietta doesn't want a husband— she wants her independence...Sure that she carries a curse that killed her previous guardians, Henrietta just wants the duke to sign over her inheritance before something terrible befalls him...In a moment of passion, they become scandalously entangled,... more and suddenly the duke must take Henrietta's curse seriously, and she must take drastic measures to save the one man she could love...
review 2: Henrietta has gone through five guardians and she's worried about the sixth, the Duke of Blackwell. Unfortunately, the Duke has no idea that she's arriving. Lucian is pretty happy with his life. He has responsibilities, sure, but he's been ignoring them pretty well as he continues his debauchery while trying to avoid the young ladies being forced into his path. His father has recently died and Lucian is astonished to realize that this means that... he is indeed this nubile young woman's guardian. He scoffs at her prediction of danger, most of her guardians were men his father's age, of course they died. The real danger is that he might accidentally (or not so accidentally) compromise her virtue and then be forced to marry... a fate worse than death. he calls in his ex-lover to come and help out (I will read Constance's story if it comes out but I sort of hope that she sticks to her guns and remains a happy, unencumbered widow).Harriet is the least favorite of my heroines in this trilogy. She's young, naive and really kind of a PITA. Would definitely have rated this two and a half stars if given the option but rounded up for this system. Not as bad as a two but definitely not on par with many other books I've rated three stars. less
