About this ebook

Christy Carlyle concludes her Duke’s Den series with this sparkling romance about two reluctant allies intent on following the rules and breaking every single one.

His Only Regret…

Rhys Forester, the new Duke of Claremont, lives his life by four words: Enjoy All, Regret Nothing. He’s devoted to the pleasure of his wild soirees, reckless behavior, and shocking the ton with his interests in trade. The debts that come with his title don’t fit the carefree lifestyle he’s created and when he’s forced to return to his family’s estate, he’s also forced to confront his one and only regret: the beautiful girl he left behind.

May Be Falling in Love…

Arabella Prescott has been the belle of more balls than she cares to remember. After three seasons and five rejected proposals, she’s done with the marriage mart. Bella’s hopes to live a comfortable life, alone, come crashing down when her parents demand she marry. But her salvation may come in the form of the man she hates the most.

Bella has never forgiven Rhys for what he did to her, but desperate times call for fake engagements. With a few dozen rules, their scheme begins, but it’s not long before the former enemies find themselves breaking every single rule, including the most important of them all: don’t fall in love…

Setting up this ‘fake romance’ with plenty of ground rules and Bella’s determination to get her parents approval for the union soon - so they can leave believing her settled, the two are adorable together. Of course, the relationship keeps them in close proximity and there’s plenty of time for them to recognize and see the other: and for feelings to develop. Rhys wasn’t expecting Bella to be all grown up and so intriguing: Bella can’t help but feel a bit of the old excitement when she’s always seeing him. Full of laughter, broken rules and electric attraction, this book was my favorite in the series, and had plenty of heart, social changes and a heroine to adore. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via Edelweiss for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

Once childhood friends, Rhys and Arabella had gone their separate ways when he had ruined their friendship on her eighteenth birthday. He began to live the life of his father, a rake with all the trappings that involved. But five years later he inherited the Dukedom, which was not in the best of shape and he started waking up and seeing his life as it was. Arabella had her seasons and was content to be left independent and write that book she knew she could. But her family decided it was time for her to marry. The friends to lovers trope that the two decided to help each other and they eventually began to see the inside of their hearts and not all the outward dressing. Loved these two characters and seeing how they tried to make their way back to each other, with some humor, and wonderful dialogue that made this story complete! Don't miss this one! I read this through NetGallery and the publisher
