review 1: There is a new romance author on the shelves to enjoy and her name is Victoria Morgan!!!Lady Julia Chandler is tired of waiting, there are bets at Whites about her engagement. When she hears that the Duke is back in town, she races over to meet and confront him. Lord Daniel Bryant is back from America and accosted by his twin brother's fiancee with a kiss that will not escape his memory. A case of mistaken identity, but not a mistake.Daniel spent ten years away after an attempt on his life. A cryptic letter brought him back and a young girl he once knew has grown up to bring life back into his beating heart, it seems like his to do list has gotten very long :1. Stop Julia from marrying his brother, Edmund 2. Find out who tried to kill him 3. Rebuild Lakeview Manor4. Find o... moreut who is currently trying to kill him5. Find out what the cryptic letter "claiming destiny" is about6. Get Julia to marry himShouldn't be too hard.Love. Love. Love. You will not just fall for Daniel and Julia, the quick wit, the way they are matched for each other, or the storyline filled with action, adventure, and romance (and great back stories for the characters), but you also fall for the secondary characters like Robbie, Brett, Emily, and more.This is an author to look and keep and eye out for - fresh and talented, you'll be sure to enjoy!****** This is a First Reads *** Thank You Goodreads ******
review 2: 3.5 starsI was very pleasantly surprised by The Heart of a Duke. This is the first book by Victoria Morgan that I've read, but I will definitely add the first book in this series and her future books to my TBR pile. The Heart of a Duke has a somewhat slow start, but once it gets going, it's an excellent blend of mystery, suspense and romance. The plot develops in an intelligent and interesting way and, even though I figured out the ultimate mystery fairly early on, I was surprised more than once by the twists and turns in Daniel and Julia's journey toward discovering the truth and getting their much-deserved HEA. The secondary characters, especially Daniel's friends, Brett and Robbie, and Julia's sister, Emily, are also enjoyable additions to the story. Hopefully the author will revisit Brett and Emily in a future book or novella.Thank you to the GoodReads First Reads program and Penguin Books for providing an advanced copy of the book! less
