What I Did For A Duke by Julie Anne Long, 371 pages


Alexander Moncrieffe, Duke of Falconbridge, has called off his engagement after catching his fiance in bed with Ian Eversea. Alexander is determined to get revenge and how better than by seducing Ian's sister Genevieve. The only thing Alexander didn't count on was falling for Genevieve. Genevieve has been in love with her best friend Lord Harry for years, and believes he feels the same way. When he announces his plans of proposing to someone else, Genevieve believes that her heart has been broken forever. Little does she expect to feel an attraction to the darkly sardonic Duke of Falconbridge. When these two cross paths, sparks fly and they instantly find themselves fighting against an instant attraction. But can they put aside the past to face a future together?
I've read a few in the Pennyroyal Green series so far and have enjoyed them all. "What I Did For a Duke" by Julie Anne Long may be my favorite to date. Alexander is dark, moody, and able to laugh at himself while Genevieve is spirited, controlled, and sarcastic, a combination that kept me eagerly turning pages and reading this book in one setting. With steamy seduction weaved with witty dialogue and lots of humor, this was a wonderful read that is a welcome addition to my book shelves.
This was a review book sent to me and sometimes nothing is more enjoyable than a total mind candy book. This was funny, sexy, and really enjoyable.
