REVIEW: How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days by Laura Lee Guhrke

SuzanneB+ Reviews / Recommended ReadsAmerican heroine / England / historical romance / marriage-of-convenience / Recommended Reads / sexual-assault / wounded hero20 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Guhrke, A historical romance heroine traumatized by sexual assault is a rare and challenging plot line. We see it in contemporary romance with frequency, but in the land of manners and repressed inhibitions, where there’s an unwed duke allotted to every good soul in the British Empire (and ... more >

REVIEW: Trouble at the Wedding by Laura Lee Guhrke

JanetC ReviewsEngland / Historical Romances / New-York9 Comments

Dear Ms. Guhrke: In a way I wish I had read Trouble at the Wedding before the first two books in the Abandoned at the Altar series. The Edwardian setting, pairing of the bourgeois heroine from the American South and the titled but impoverished English duke, and mixed cocktail of ... more >

JanetBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Category19th century / Historical Romances / Laura-Lee-Guhrke23 Comments

Dear Ms. Guhrke: I enjoyed your last book, Wicked Ways of A Duke and was looking forward to Maria Martingale’s story.   It is hard to resist these girl-bachelors; after all, who wouldn’t want to root for these young women who seek real independence and also find the gift of love ... more >

REVIEW: The Wicked Ways of a Duke by Laura Lee Guhrke

JanetB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / Historical Romances / Laura-Lee-Guhrke11 Comments

Dear Ms. Guhrke: Except for a quick skim of Conor's Way a year or so ago, The Wicked Ways of a Duke is the first of your books I have read. And after finishing it, I think I understand the source of your popularity: an ability to create a vivid ... more >
