I Dared the Duke: A Wayward Wallflowers Novel (The Wayward Wallflowers)
By: Anna Bennett
Rating: 4 of 5
This is the first book I have read by Anna Bennett though it is the second book in her series of romances involving three sisters (The Wayward Wallflowers.) The series title is based on a nickname that the sisters had picked up in society as The Wilting Wallflowers. Based on the actions of Miss Elizabeth Lacey (the second sister and the center of attention in this book), Wayward is the more apt title.
Beth (as she prefers to be called) has agreed to become the temporary companion to the Dowager Duchess of Blackshire. The Duke, Alexander Savage is the grandson who is rarely to be seen at the London residence where Beth is now residing.
When he suddenly appears on the scene and tries to push Beth to leave, Beth digs in and decides she must stay for a given period. That sets the scene for these two individuals to get to know one another and find out if their instant attraction is just that or if it is more long-standing.
The book contains sex scenes, some language and has violent scenes as well. In the content of the story, these didn’t bother me but I mention it for those who are interested.
I found the book amusing and the characters likeable. I was left wondering about the back story on the Wilting Wallflowers, so I am planning on picking up the first book in the series and will certainly look for the third book in the future.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
