review 1: Roman Montagu, the Duke of Norwich, is also known as the Duck Duke because of a curse on his family involving ducks (in all forms) causing death. He plans never to marry (to break the curse) and to stay away from water after his brother, the last Duke, died at sea. But after a debauched bachelor party with the 'Royal Entourage' of Dukes, and too much absinthe, he awakens to find himself trapped on the deck of a ship during a raging storm. His worst nightmare.He's dragged out of the storm and into a cabin by Esme March, the widowed Countess of Derby. She knows who he is as she's been attracted to him for years. Not that he's ever noticed. She helps Roman fight his demons during the storm, but when they return to England the Prince Regent demands they marry. What is s... moreupposed to be a marriage of convenience...ends up being so much more.This book was more about the main characters and less about the entourage of Dukes, which I liked. While the reader can easily see that these two are made for each other, it takes them (especially Roman) a whole lot longer. I liked how it ended as we also got to see again the lead characters from the first book in the series.
review 2: Roman, the Duke of Norwich, is known as Seventeen - the 17th Duke of Norwich. The family goes through them rapidly, thanks to a curse laid upon the 1st duke. After the Duke of Candover's infamous bachelor party, Roman finds himself somewhere he'd wanted to be - onboard a ship. Saved by Esme, the Countess of Derby, the two bond during a storm, but do not want to connect after their return to England. However, the Prince Regent has other plans. This book crept up on me. I wasn't sure if I really liked it or not. But, maybe it was the quiet growth of their feelings and relationships. Yes, there's passion and lust - but not a relationship as such. Both are determined to make the other happy, however they feel. For a man determined never to marry, even less have children; and a woman who is damaged by her first marriage - it is interesting to see their negotiations and compromises. less
