Review # 1 was written on 2019-12-30 00:00:00 Richard Sudborough .. The Duke Next Door of the 'Heiress Brides' was written by Celeste Bradley. The story focused on Sophie, who had the strangest experience of all three cousins. She was the first of the cousins to fall in love, although her feelings were not reciprocated for much of the book. For such a charming ladies man, There were many life lessons to learn in this series. Graham appeared quite ignorant and clueless sometimes. The dialogue includes bouts of profanity and is offensive, even when it's supposedly done for the sake of realism. Although, some authors may find it challenging at times to make the dialogue realistic without a lot of swearing - which can be achieved by invention and creativeness. Personally, I don't feel cursing serves any positive purpose. I prefer warm, funny feel-good fiction. The dangerously beautiful Deirdre Cantor is determined to inherit her grandfather's vast fortune. All she needs is to marry a duke…and be the first granddaughter to walk down the aisle. After all, she has always dreamed of becoming a member of the Haute ton. So when the proper Calder Marbrook, the Marquis of Brookhaven and future Duke of Brookmoor, is abandoned at the altar, Deirdre makes it her business to become his wife'in spite of the whispers about his past. Soon Deirdre's visions of a lavish existence with the handsome Calder are shattered when she learns his shocking secret. Feeling betrayed, Deirdre seeks revenge by playing a perilous and seductive game of cat and mouse with her husband that threatens to drive them both to the heights of passion. She will not surrender to him, no matter how great her desire. But at what cost? Calder is determined to keep his secret under lock and key'and to make his stunning wife his in every way that matters. Even if it means winning her heart all over again… Profanity is basically a crude and obnoxious abuse of respectful dialogue. It offends many people not only in books but also in person. Some may feel this type of expression alerts the reader that the character/author has extremely low self-esteem. Including it in a literary fiction lowers my rating, even though other readers may not mind it. This story has a strange plot, believable characters, and a H.E.A. Yet, it did not contain a compelling factor to keep the reader totally engrossed. ----------------------------------- Duke Most Wanted The Heiress Brides Celeste Bradley (Author) Length: 302 Pages . . .

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-25 00:00:00 Steve Topalian Loved this series! And Sophie's story was the absolute best!! Sophie's the ugly duckling of the cousins competing to marry a Duke. She's tall, slim, clumsy, and spectacled. Until her fairy godfather ...modiste comes to her rescue. Graham Cavendish is the 4th son of a Duke. He's a debt ridden, gambling, drinking rake. Sophie's his best friend. He can always count on her to be a honest, caring, distraction. But things are about to change when she is transformed into a lovely swan. This was a fabulous ending to the series. I can't wait to read more books by Celeste Bradley.
