Tall, Duke and Dangerous

Tall, Duke and Dangerous


A Hazard of Dukes Novel Book #2

by Megan Frampton

⭐⭐⭐/5


A Cinderella like tale, where Lady Ana Maria, the daughter of a duke is teated like the lowest of servants from her step-mother, is released for her servitude upon her death and is touted about in the marriage mart by her brother and cousin, the new duke.


Lady Ana Maria can have her pick of the gentleman, but she prefers, her cousin dn brother’s friend, the dangerous Duke of Malvern. Since she has known him from her time in servitude and he understands her difficulties with her new station, she feels a bond with him. Too bad, the duke has vowed not to marry for love and refuses to feel any emotions for they are what powered his fathers abusing tendencies…


This book was a miss for me. The grunting behemoth of a duke, who refuses to have emotions got old pretty quick and the heroine who expressed the dichotomy of her current and former life was very repetitive. If you were in the mood to get drunk, you could play a drinking game while reading this book and take a shot every time the heroine said “oxymoron”.


I had a hard time caring about either character and I really couldn’t understand why others were against these two black sheep making a match of it. Seems like the best solution for the ton would be to pair them off and be done with them.



I did enjoy the first book in the series, Never Kiss a Duke, and will be on board for the last instalment of the series.




Tall, Duke and Dangerous by Megan Frampton is scheduled to release October 27th, 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.

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
