Would I Lie to the Duke

Union of the Rakes: Book #2

by Eva Leigh

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

As the eldest sibling, it is Jessica McGale’s duty to see that she rescues the family farm and soap business at any cost. The cost ends up having some delightful bonuses, when she entices the Duke of Rotherby into inviting her while posing as Lady Whitfield, to his “Shark Tank” (US) or “Dragon’s Den (CAN) style business summit. There is plenty of business and pleasure to be had!

Noel, the Duke of Rotherby, is used to sycophants every where he goes… that’s why he values his friendships with the Union of the Rakes so much. When he finds a similar honesty in Lady Whitfield, it seem he had finally met his match… until is is discovered that the lovely and intelligent lady is not as she appears and has used his influence for her families gain.

This book was. Delight to read. I enjoyed the characters white banter and the steamy station that slowly builds up into an inferno. I am talking about very hot and domineering love scenes! Lady Whitfield or Jess knows what she wants in the boardroom and the bedroom, if you know what I mean!

As a second book in a series, I found this held its own and can be read as a stand alone. I have read the first book in the series and I enjoyed this one even more than the first. I’m excited to see what the next rake from the Union of the Rakes will bring in the next book!

Would I Lie to the Duke by Eva Leigh is scheduled to release July 28th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through Edelweiss+. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
