Duke of Charm (Dukes of Distinction Book 2)

This books details the romance between George and Samantha - I found the book to be interesting and daring. Samantha is a great character and is a delight to behold - right from her bold decisions to her independent nature. George is a real charmer but I felt that Samantha gave in to him too easily. Also, their story could use a backdrop as it makes sense with their story.Overall, a good read.Romance Level : 3.4/5Steamy Level: Detailed foreplay & lovemaking scenes.

Pequenas coisas me incomodaram nesse livro, pois quando os personagens se reencontram por exemplo, e resolvem os seus problemas me pareceu um tanto quanto mal elaborado e me deu a impressão que foi bem rápido. Retirando isso, é um bom livro

Book two was as good as first book but ended differently! Can’t wait to read the third book in the series!

I couldn't put it down. I was entranced from the first page. Loved the characters. Thoroughly enjoyed the story. A bit dark at the start but more than worth the journey. Great climax and lovely ending. Can't wait to read the next one.

Great read, you get captured in what is happening. They are not too long, but there is quite a lot of drama to make them interesting.
