Description

Love at first smile… Charmingly wicked, Johnny Winter has spent his adulthood drifting from scandal to scandal. However, inheriting the dukedom of Dearham has him considering his responsibilities, one of which is to right the wrong done to a distant cousin twenty years ago. His search takes him to Maida Pleasure Gardens, where he is distracted by an unusual and intriguing beauty. The first time Kitty saw the gentleman with the bone-melting smile, she lost her heart. When, more than a year later, she finally dances with him, the moment is spoiled by having to tie him up at gunpoint. For Kitty is the niece of the infamous Bill Renwick, who owns Maida Gardens and lives too close to the edges of the law. And Johnny has seen too much. So begins an impossible attraction – made all the more dangerous by the duke’s belief that she is his long-lost relation. Torn between the only family she knows and her longing for the duke, Kitty’s quandary is taken out of her hands by an attempt on her life. Learning to be a lady in the duke’s household brings further complications, not least her increasing obsession with her unconventional host, the man behind the mask he shows the world. The duke sees beyond the mystery of Kitty’s origins, but can she? And having finally found the love of his life, can he keep her safe and still find a way for them to be together?

  • Twists and Turns, Intrigue, Murder Attempts all Threaten the HEA
This was another page turner from Mary Lancaster. The story tied in people and threads from the prior books in the series, with people who have become familiar to me. I loved how the h and H fell in love, and dealt with all the villains around them. There was an extra unexpected twist at the end of the book! ... show more

So far, this series has been very interesting. The beginning of this is excellent. What fun. I look forward to the next addition.

  • Lovable lead characters
Johnny and Kitty are really nice people. Their affection for one another is a pleasure to watch. It is not entirely believable for the time and place but if I was insistent on historical accuracy, I'd only read history--give me a good fairy tale practically every time. I do wish the epilogue was further into the future than 3 days after the main action. ... show more

  • Fall in Love with the Duke!
She had seen him over a year ago and could not forget how handsome he was.... Now here he was in her world at Maiden Pleasure Garden, owned by her uncle, who had raised her and treated her like a daughter. He was a duke on a mission. He had finally found her and just knew she was the one he had been searching for all this time! Mystery, intrigue, a villain, intend on harm, and a growing attraction that will not be denied! Mary's writing is so seamless, bringing forth a story that always steals my imagination with delight! This series has been so enjoyable, but I think this may be my favorite. Wait, did I say that about the last one? Well, when you are reading this author's work, it is hard to pick a favorite! ... show more

  • Better than many, this Regency romance hit the spot.
Unmasking the Duke by Mary Lancaster is another of the Maida Gardens' Pleasure Gardens series. It may be the best of the bunch. Kitty Renwick was the niece of Bill Renwick the owner of the Maida Pleasure Gardens. She had a good life; she had to work, but she was well taken care of and loved her uncle and her cousins. John Winter, the Duke of Dearham was not a frequent visitor to the gardens but Kitty always noticed him. He had a wonderful smile and he sent tingles through her when he touched her or ever, when he smiled at her. Then he told her he thought she was his cousin. He offered proof. It wasn't enough. When she was locked in the barn and it was set on fire, her father was worried enough to let her go stay in Dearham's home where she could be protected. His family wasn't thrilled but they came to love her. Johnny told a convoluted story about her origins. Kitty was educated, although not able to perform any of the tasks well educated members of the ton could: playing the piano, embroidering, foreign languages. She was pleasant and helpful, a good think because his sister had two sets of twins: three years and newborn. Johnny was a rake of the first water. Everyone knew it. He had gotten more subtle when he became the duke, but nothing really changed. She never believed she was his cousin, but it was a mystery and it was one she could solve. Turns out, he already had. She trusted him despite his reputation. This was a good story with an interesting plot and excellent characters. I like it. I was invited to read a free e-ARC of Unmasking the Duke by Dragonblade, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. #netgalley #dragonblade #unmaskingtheduke #marylancaster ... show more

  • IT IS A UNIQUE SERIES
I just didn't feel a connection to this couple. The h was honest and loyal and loved her family. The H is a rake and Duke and has been looking for a long lost cousin. The h doesn't believe she is his cousin but no-one believed her. For me, the couple just didn't click. The character's are good just not believable together. A couple nasty villains. The brother of the h's best friend is up to no good and his story started and didn't add much near the end. Then there was an old flame of the H's who tries to cause trouble and she has a turn around on her feelings for the h, who she had discredited. I've read the whole series and this is a stand alone. The h's uncle in previous books walked outside the law and it was nice to see a softer side in this story. Even though book 4 of the series, it is a stand alone. Some suspense, a couple big twists/surprises at the end, an epilogue not far in the future, little on romance, some steam near the end outside of marriage - heat level 2 out of 5. No cheating, no cliffhanger and HEA. (ljb) ... show more
