"Heath steals your heart, then takes you on a journey that will leave you torn between tears and joy".
—Christina Dodd
New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath writes sweet temptations—richly, deliciously passionate, high concept historical romance in the vein of Lisa Kleypas and Liz Carlyle. With She Tempts the Duke, Heath kicks off another enthralling series, this time following the fortunes of the Lost Lords of Pembrook—three dark and dangerous noble brothers imprisoned and robbed of their inheritance, but free now and determined to reclaim their birthright. Set in England during Victoria's reign, She Tempts the Duke is the enthrallingly romantic story of Sebastian, who fled to battle, and his return to London, a hardened soldier, drawn to the beautiful, brave lady who helped him and his brothers escape their captivity.

I loved She Tempts the Duke!! I could not put it down and only stop reading for a few hours to close my eyes. This is a true Historical Romance between childhood friends and unconditional friendship.
The story starts in 1844 with there young boys sons of the Duke of Keswick are lead to the tower at there ancestral home Pembrook on orders of there uncle David Easton. Sebastian is the older of the 14 year old twins Tristan is the second twin and Rafe was the third and youngest brother at 10 years. There father is dead and now Sebastian is the new Duke of Keswick and his uncle wants them dead. Mary Wynne-Jones the 10 yrs old daughter of the Earl of Winslow, has found out they are being held in the tower and she know why. Mary helps the boys escape and is told by Sebastian who she loves and is his Best Mate that they will return in 10 years, but 12 years past and Mary was sent off to be raised by Nuns in a Covent. She thinks the boys must be dead or at least one of them would have contacted her over so many years. Rumors are rampant in the Ton as to what happen to the boys. There evil uncle has taken guardianship over all there holding and now he is proceeding to partition the court of Chancery to granted the title of Duke.
The three brothers return and introduce themselves at a Ball with over 300 people in attendance and Mary is there with her Fiancée Viscount Fitzwilliam. The brothers make a grand entrance and expose there uncle David as the villain he is. However it is hard for the boys to re enter society. As they have had to live hard and rough lives to survive. Sebastian has been horribly scared and lost his eye fighting in the war. Mary of course does all she can to help her friends, but some of the Ton doesn't believe there story about there uncles evil dealings and intent concerning them. Once David is displaced and they have insured he lives in poverty. They start to rebuild there lives but there uncle won't give up on becoming a powerful Duke so easily.
Mary and Sebastian rekindle there friendship and time and time again she comes to his an his brothers aid. I loved that the story centers mostly around Sebastian and Mary and the Soul Mate bond they shared since there early childhood. They are both loveable well written and well developed characters. There are lively characters through out the story and the tone of the book is true to the era it is set in. The story moves fast and I couldn't stop reading. The back story is detailed just enough. The romance and love between the two main characters Sebastian and Mary was just awesome. I can't wait to read Tristan and Rafe's stories. If I can one complaint it would be the uncle David's end came to quick and easy!! I Highly Recommend "She Tempts the Duke"
BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY!!

What made the experience of listening to She Tempts the Duke the most enjoyable?
I found this book to have a different twist to most books of this type and by Heath. The listen was exciting and suspenseful.What other book might you compare She Tempts the Duke to and why?
I would compare this book to Heath's In Bed with the Devil but only loosely.What about Faye Adele’s performance did you like?
Adele does a good job narrating this book. Her voice was full of emotion and inflection.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book does purge the emotions, so if you are a crier keep the tissues close.Any additional comments?
The series is worth the investment as the purchaser will want to listen to them over and over.Another Twist on Wicked Nobleman

In typical Lorraine Heath fashion this book was full of angst, murder threats, incredible chemistry and, to top it all off, a scared hero! I read this series out of order but if this is the first one you're picking up it makes the experience even better. The last book in the series is my favorite book I read this year so I highly recommend giving this series a read!
scared hero, friends to lovers, and full of angst!
