Book Synopsis
Ten years ago Ivy Breckenridge's life was ruined. She had to reinvent herself, and now, after painstakingly making her own way in the world, she's nearly forgotten the dreams of home and family she'd once nurtured. Until one man peers into her soul and awakens every one of her hidden desires. But no matter how good he makes her feel, she can't trust him--alone by choice is better than alone by necessity.
With a notorious reputation for training married women in the art of passion, Sebastian Westgate, Duke of Clare, is reviled by some and celebrated by others. He doesn't allow anyone close enough to see past his charming exterior. When Ivy uncovers the man beneath, the seducer is suddenly the seduced. Enraptured by her mind and spirit, he wants more but revealing his darkest secrets is a price he won't pay.
Review Quotes
"There's one particularly sensual scene where all West does is talk... kudos, Ms. Burke, on that, because not many authors can write a Kindle-melting scene where the characters are a) upright and b) fully clothed."
"In spite of the eyebrow raising concept of the nobleman sex-therapist, The Duke of Desire - the book, and the man himself - completely won me over. The pairing of the independent, somewhat repressed heroine who needs to learn to let go once in a while with the confident, all-round-swoon-worthy hero who oozes sex appeal is a potent one that proved, in the end, to be a winning combination."
- All About Romance
"Crazy arse sparks/heat, chemistry and tension . . . OH MY . . . are happening between these two and while it takes them a while to get their lives and hearts aligned together, at the same time, it is one wild ride while they tray. Lots of smexy scenes in this book that kept the smut lover in me very satisfied and a perfect amount of romance/angst to keep the romantic in me happy. These two have personal obstacles to get over before either can entertain a love match. Their stores are said, and when the HEA comes it's rewarding.
I LOVE Darcy Burke's writing style. I am really looking forward to diving into the previous books and maybe check out her other books. If you are looking for a truly endearing story about two people who take the path least travelled to find the other, with a side of "YAH THAT'S HOT!" then this book is absolutely for you!"
- The Reading Café
"Masterfully written with great characterization, her eye to the dramatic and her desire to show readers a different side to Regency Romance with a flourish toward characters, secrets, and romance, brings forth an excellent historical romance. Must read addition to "The Untouchables" series!"
