Purchase options and add-ons

This lady is not at all a paragon of society…

Lady Bronwyn Chase leaves London on her brother's passenger liner bound for America with a packet of secret letters that could get her into trouble. Serious trouble―the kind a duke's sister shouldn't be in; the kind that puts spymaster Valentine Medford, the Duke of Thornbury, on her trail. But as the duke gets closer to Bronwyn and the secrets she's keeping, he'll have to decide between the mysterious woman who calls to him, or his allegiance to the Crown.

Praise for the Daring Dukes series:

"Vivid, sensual and beautifully written… Amalie Howard tells a story with self-assured style, wit, and energy, making the book impossible to put down."―Lisa Kleypas, New York Times bestselling author, for The Princess Stakes

"Amalie Howard is the fresh voice historical romance needs right now… I will read every word she writes."―Kerrigan Byrne, USA Today bestselling author

"Adventurous!"―Publishers Weekly for Rules for Heiresses

5 Stars
A starchy duke meets his match…
One of my favorite reads of 2022 was Amalie Howard’s newest release, The Duke in Question.Here are just a few of the reasons you need to pick it up:1. A starchy duke who cannot hang onto his cool to save his life where the heroine is concerned. She’s sheer kamikaze to his self-control.2. Innuendoes and banter that will make your head spin with their crackling intensity and barely masked antagonism.3. A fiercely independent heroine who refuses to let the restrictions society places on her gender deter her from pursuing what she wants.4. Some of my favorite mini-tropes… including bathtime teasing, and hot times against a tree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure, intrigue and steamy historical romance too

Do you love adventure, simmering attraction and banter in your hot historical romances? If so, Amalie Howard has another fabulous and fun story for you with The Duke in Question.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Bronwyn is working as a mysterious secret agent, the Kestrel, and is on a ship from London to Philadelphia to deliver a vital message. As the sister of a Duke, she’s used to people underestimating her and uses it to her advantage. But she doesn’t count on her brother’s friend Valentine, Duke of Thornbury. He’s supposedly given up spying for the crown, but is trying to track down the Kestrel. He keeps getting distracted by the gorgeous and seemingly flighty Bronwyn, though. As the two spend more time together, their attraction grows even while it becomes obvious that all is not as simple as it appears.

This series hits just right for me, with the perfect balance of adventure and romance, angst and quips. Bronwyn continues to surprise Valentine, even after he knows he shouldn’t underestimate her. And she makes him feel, ugh, feelings. It doesn’t hurt that the steamy scenes are super hot, and show new sides to each character.

This series has a fantastic diverse and historically accurate cast of characters. They are all equally engaging, and I’d read a book featuring any of them. I also enjoy the way Howard incorporates real life history and people into the story.

I love a fast-paced plot with lots of action and intrigue, and A Duke in Question delivers. Bronwyn and Valentine’s sizzling chemistry goes hand in hand with their quest to catch the villain too. This entire series is fabulous, and now I need to go back and read the installments I’ve missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars #3 in Daring Dukes series
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024
Verified Purchase
It could be read as a standalone as the MC are introduced in book two, but the characters are developed in this book. The FMC is introduced in book two as one the Duke of Ashvale’s estranged sisters and helps Ravenna get the documents needed to secure her brother’s position as Duke. It’s also known from book two that Valentine is an operative for the Crown and was married only for the sake of a cover.

The banter and wit between these MC was delightful and found myself laughing at the exchanges and thoughts both MC were having on the ship across the Altantic the first time. I enjoyed how the tropes played out and the twist I didn’t see coming. I love capable and strong FMC and found that in Bronwyn. Valentine struggled internally in all aspects of Bronwyn from his attraction, trusting, and protectiveness of her. It took him almost until the end to reconcile it all but I found his character endearing.

There are four encounters plus both MC self-pleasure, fantasized thoughts that also include restraints/handcuffs. Majority of the encounters are on the rougher side in comparison to other HR but I feel like they matched the passion of both characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great banter but I was distracted details that didn’t seem historically accurate
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2022
3⭐️ 3🌶

This books was just ok. I was actually pretty conflicted because some of it was pretty great and some of it was so out of place I found myself pausing to look things up because I wasn’t sure if they were historically accurate or not.

I loved the banter between Bee and Valentine. She did such an amazing job of getting under his skin. I laughed out loud when he thought “He was going to stab himself with his own fork, just to put himself out of his own misery,” after a dinner with her.

I could appreciate that “Bronwyn wanted to make her mark. A mark…any mark that would deem her worthy, that would be a reminder that she had been here on earth at this time.” It set this book up for some of my favorite tropes like lady spy, enemies to lovers and a headstrong FMC.

I liked Val. I loved that despite being this infamous spy known for being incredibly difficult to deceive, he was thrown completely for a loop by Bee.

What I didn’t like was what seemed to me to be historical inaccuracies. As part of being a spy Val was “married” to another spy who he conveniently “divorced” with little fuss before the start of this book. While divorce was not impossible I don’t think the ease with which his divorce was attained and the lack of scandal would have been realistic.

Her drawers fitting in his pocket had me running to Google to see if my knowledge of 19th century undergarments was incredibly wrong. All of this really surprised me after reading the amount of research the author put into inserting this story into real historical events.

I love a FMC who knows what she wants in the bedroom but I had a hard time buying Bee’s forwardness and knowledge as a virgin without better explanation that “she read it in a book.”

I thought this book about Bronwyn and Valentine was great. I savored every page and did not want to finish. Was quite steamy and took a while to get to the HEA but I was intrigued and loved reading about all the ways they got there. Loved the sizzling chemistry and all the danger they dealt with along the way to their happiness. Ms Howard writes wonderful stories that you cannot put down.

I got about a third of the way through before the growing list of historical absurdities and the ridiculousness of the characters in this book led me to start skimming, and finally just gave up on it entirely about halfway in. Maybe if it were a cheap ebook I wouldn't have been so hard on it, and maybe it improves further on but, right now, I'd have to say that this was the book I most regret buying in paperback form in 2022.
