The Perfect Duchess

The Macalisters #1

by Erica Taylor

After his fiancée elopes with a footman, Andrew Macalister, the brooding Duke of Bradstone, is hesitant to trust any woman ever again. It is only fitting that the woman to melt his heart is Lady Clara Masson, the social outcast twin sister of the woman who jilted him!

When Clara’s life is threatened, Andrew does the only thing he can think of to protect her: proposes marriage. Despite having been in love with Andrew since childhood, Clara only agrees to the engagement to buy herself more time to escape her brother’s murderous plans.

What begins as an engagement of convenience quickly turns to a passionate battle of wills between the stubborn duke and his distrusting fiancée.

With fate giving them a second chance at love, Andrew and Clara fight to trust in their love, and each other, before they are torn tragically apart.

REVIEW

4 out of 5

I absolutely fell in love with this book. Clara is brilliant and resilient, and has decided she doesn’t care what society thinks of her anymore. Andrew has a big heart, and would do anything for those he loves. A series of events leads them to have a second chance at love with each other – after hiding childhood crushes, and Clara’s sister abandoning Andrew at the altar. I abhor Clara’s brother, but I was totally rooting for Clara and Andrew to take the leap and put their emotions into it, instead of keeping it an engagement of convenience as it were. Whether or not they do, is something youll have to read to find out.
