Hot tempered and fearful of becoming like his brutish late father, he lives a life of too much responsibility and too little joy. And although he\u2019s vowed to never marry, a duke has a duty\u2014and there\u2019s only one way to get himself an heir and a spare.

While most of London\u2019s ladies find Nash intimidating, she only sees a man who needs introducing to all the joys life has to offer.

I very much enjoyed the first in this series <strong>Never Kiss a Duke<\/strong>, but this second entry in the series was just not my cuppa tea. Which makes me angry because I like Frampton. I think she\u2019s an excellent writer, a great follow on social media, and an all-around badass lady.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s a lot of chatter in other reviews about what didn\u2019t work in this book, so I won\u2019t spend too much time on the things that didn\u2019t work that have already been repeated several times over. What I will say is this book is another example of why you don\u2019t always have to pair side characters for their own book. Neither of the two main characters felt fully formed and their love story was not as well crafted as I\u2019ve seen Frampton is capable of.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book got stuck focusing on the reasons why \u201cnot\u201d that I never really understood the reasons \u201cwhy\u201d. These two both had horribly broken childhoods and I wanted them to get their ultimate HEA\u2019s I just don\u2019t think they belong together. And I have to wonder if Frampton even likes them because she ended the book so abruptly that I am curious if she bored of these two just as I did.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Lindsey<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3oCqurY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/tall-duke-and-dangerous\/id1496592004?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_tall%2C_duke%2C_and_dangerous&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/tall-duke-and-dangerous-megan-frampton\/1134858398?ean=9780062867452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/tall-duke-and-dangerous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Megan_Frampton_Tall_Duke_and_Dangerous?id=p2bMDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He needs a bride\u2026 Nash, the \u201cdangerous\u201d Duke of Malvern, has always bristled against the rules of English society.

Hot tempered and fearful of becoming like his brutish late father, he lives a life of too much responsibility and too little joy. And although he\u2019s vowed to never marry, a duke has a duty\u2014and there\u2019s only one way to get himself an heir and a spare. So Nash reluctantly takes a look around at society\u2019s available young ladies to see who might be willing to put up with his one-word answers and frequent glowers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>She longs for love\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the death of her father and wicked stepmother, Ana Maria goes from virtual servant to lady-in-training, and while society life has its benefits\u2014gorgeous gowns!\u2014its restrictive rules stifle her sprit. And when her independent actions put her in danger, her half-brother insists Nash teach her some self-defense. While most of London\u2019s ladies find Nash intimidating, she only sees a man who needs introducing to all the joys life has to offer. So although officially they are coming together for fighting lessons, unofficially their physical contact begins to blur the line between friendship and begins to grown into something more\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Oct 27, 2020<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong> <em>Hazards of Dukes<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>2<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Avon Books<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $5.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tall, Duke and Dangerous<\/strong> is the second book in <em><strong>Megan Frampton\u2019s<\/strong> Hazards of Duke\u2019s<\/em> series. I very much enjoyed the first in this series <strong>Never Kiss a Duke<\/strong>, but this second entry in the series was just not my cuppa tea. Which makes me angry because I like Frampton. I think she\u2019s an excellent writer, a great follow on social media, and an all-around badass lady.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s a lot of chatter in other reviews about what didn\u2019t work in this book, so I won\u2019t spend too much time on the things that didn\u2019t work that have already been repeated several times over. What I will say is this book is another example of why you don\u2019t always have to pair side characters for their own book. Neither of the two main characters felt fully formed and their love story was not as well crafted as I\u2019ve seen Frampton is capable of.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book got stuck focusing on the reasons why \u201cnot\u201d that I never really understood the reasons \u201cwhy\u201d. These two both had horribly broken childhoods and I wanted them to get their ultimate HEA\u2019s I just don\u2019t think they belong together. And I have to wonder if Frampton even likes them because she ended the book so abruptly that I am curious if she bored of these two just as I did.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Lindsey<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3oCqurY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/tall-duke-and-dangerous\/id1496592004?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_tall%2C_duke%2C_and_dangerous&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/tall-duke-and-dangerous-megan-frampton\/1134858398?ean=9780062867452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/tall-duke-and-dangerous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Megan_Frampton_Tall_Duke_and_Dangerous?id=p2bMDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
