Book 1 of the League of Dukes series was about Ara, Duchess of Burghley, whose husband had been assassinated by a group fighting for Irish political rights, and Clayton Ludlow, the illegitimate son of a Duke. Ludlow was Ara's first love, but the two were torn apart 8 years earlier and had not seen each other since. However, neither knew the truth until forces drove them together again as Ara's life was being threatened by the same group who had murdered her husband, and Clayton was tasked with guarding her. One thing I struggle with when reading a book, no matter the genre, is when an author uses the flashback method. This book was no exception. It had a LOT of flashback action that nearly overpowered the story. If the author had used a prologue that gave a bit of back-story, that could have eliminated the need for the flashbacks. This book was so full of drama, intrigue, and angst...almost too much angst. It never seemed to let up. There was no humor, no comedic relief to allow the reader some downtime to blow off the rough emotions from the angst. Even the movies allow the audience a chance to laugh to ease the stress of the shows, but this book did not allow for it or if it did, it went unnoticed because it wasn't apparent. There was too much hurt, mistrust, and anger between the two main characters. It was overwhelming for most of the book and did not really allow for a good romance to form. There were times that Clayton went too far in some of his actions where Ara was concerned. He often refused to do what she said, even though it was her home, her servants, and her family. He was often overbearing, to the point I nearly stopped reading the book. The intrigue was prevalent from start to finish. It kept the reader guessing about each twist and turn the plot made, and it had quite a few surprises as well. While the book wasn't too long, it did drone on just a bit, being a little repetitive a number of times, it was still a decent book. Because the story was so over-the-top with the angst and little to no humor, this book just barely found a place with the Keeper for the Shelves books.
