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.
