Born to a courtesan, Charlene is the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Desmond and works as a servant in her mother\u2019s house of ill repute. To get her family out of a debt to Lord Grant\u2014a man who wants to make Charlene his unwilling mistress\u2014she agrees to pose as her half-sister in hopes of getting <strong>James, the Duke of Harland<\/strong>, to propose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Think of <em>The Bachelor<\/em> and you get an idea of the setup. Four eligible young ladies all vying for one man\u2019s attention. Except for Charlene, this is literally a matter of life and something close to death. Above a future that would see her becoming a dreaded courtesan, Charlene is thinking of her younger sister as well as her ailing mother. She must seduce the duke to give them a better life. What she doesn\u2019t know is that trying to charm a proposal out of the handsome duke is not an arduous task. In fact, she finds she doesn\u2019t mind the task at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The scene in which they met had me laughing because not only is Charlene pretending to be someone else, but so is James. But by far, the funniest part is how she reacts when he \u201ccomes onto her\u201d. Shy and quiet Lady Dorothea she is not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately for James, her unconventionality is one of the things he likes about her. A little too much. He wants a practical, bloodless marriage. And the feelings Charlene evokes in him will lead to anything but that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">James is one of those heroes who\u00a0is in desperate need of reforming. And I do love to see a rake meet his <em>Waterloo.<\/em>There\u2019s nothing like a man who is determined<strong><em> not<\/em><\/strong> to get physically and emotionally attached, do just that. This is a common theme you\u2019ll find in romances I enjoy. James does his best to push her away, make himself undesirable to her to no avail. Now, you and I know\u2014because this is a romance\u2014it\u2019s not going to work. Especially since Charlene is equally determined to win him over. Poor James doesn\u2019t stand a chance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was intrigued by <strong>Stephen, Marquess of Dalton<\/strong>, James\u2019s good friend. He is so positive that Lady Dorothea will be the woman James proposes to, he places a large wager on it. And\u2014the sly devil that he is\u2014does his best to help things along<em>. Love him.<\/em> I\u2019m definitely looking forward to his book, which I assume is the next book in the series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All in all, <strong>How the Duke Was Won<\/strong> is a wonderful debut and the beginnings of a very promising series. It\u2019s clear to me that <strong><em>Lenora Bell <\/em><\/strong>is definitely a historical author on the rise and one I\u2019ll be watching out for.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Beverley<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"decoration_none\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/4stars_winter_blog.png?resize=157%2C40\" alt=\"4stars_winter_blog\" width=\"157\" height=\"40\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>**US Residents Only<\/em><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-16069\" data-postid=\"16069\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-16069 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment to enter to win a print\u00a0copy of Lenora Bell&#8217;s wonderful debut, HOW THE DUKE WAS WON\u00a0and some Devine Chocolate!
