A Good Duke is Hard to Find by Christina Britton

1 ratings

Get swept away by a Regency romance of broken engagements, second chances, and stolen kisses.

After her third fiancé leaves her at the altar, Lenora Hartley is beginning to think she’s cursed. One thing’s for certain: she needs to escape London and her father’s tyrannical attempts to find her yet another suitor. The Isle of Synne, an isolated and idyllic retreat off Britain’s northern coast, is blessedly far from society’s gossip, but it also carries haunting reminders of her first fiancé. Letting go of the past to find happiness seems impossible — until Lenora is thrown in the path of a gruff, mysterious blue-eyed man who makes her pulse race.

Next in line for a dukedom he doesn’t want to inherit, Peter Ashford is only on the isle to exact revenge on the man who is responsible for his mother’s death. Once he’s completed the task, he’ll return to America where his life can finally be his own. Yet when he meets the beautiful and kind Miss Hartley, he can’t help but be drawn to her. Can Peter put aside his plans for vengeance for the woman who has come to mean everything to him?

A Good Duke is Hard to Find, Book 1 of the Isle of Synne series, was about Miss Lenora Hartley, the only daughter of Sir Alfred Hartley, and Mr. Peter Ashford, heir to the Duke of Dane. After her third failed trip down the aisle, Lenora was determined to leave London society behind for a while. She and her friend, Marjery, decided to take a trip to the Isle of Synne, where Marjery's grandmother lived...and the home of Lenora's first fiance had resided before his untimely death. Lenora wanted to avoid her father's machinations for a fourth betrothal for as long as she could, although he had only given her till the end of summer to nurse her wounded heart. Peter, having left the Isle of Synne and England some thirteen years prior to his return, was not looking to take his place as the new Duke of Dane when the current one died. Rather he much preferred the idea of revenge, for he held the current duke responsible for his mother's death when he was but thirteen years old. He was determined that once the man had died, he would let not only the title die with him, but also allow the estate to waste away, become bankrupt, and revert back to the Crown. However, the more time he spent with Lenora, the less he wanted revenge and the more he wanted a life and family with her. There was a good deal of angst and drama in this story, along with just as much heartache, cruelty, forgiveness, love, and a touch of humor. Though the passion was only a smoldering flame, there were signs it wanted to be much more. The storyline was well-written, and the twists and turns were slightly unusual than most such stories. It definitely kept the reader glued to the pages and, with all the emotional rollercoaster turns, tugged at the heartstrings of said reader. The characters were well-developed, mature, and had the integrity I've come to expect from certain authors, which is such a delight. While not every book needs a villain/ness, they do require a protagonist and an antagonist, and this book definitely had them. Such a well-written story absolutely deserves a five-star rating and to be added to the Keeper for the Shelves collection...and this book will have the honor of both.
