About this ebook

He’s posing as a groomsman.


Rhys Sheffield, the Duke of Worthington, has bet his friends an ungodly sum of money that despite his loftiness, he can pass himself off as a servant at the house party of the Season. But when his clever ex-flame arrives and recognizes Rhys in the stables pretending to be a groomsman, she realizes it’s the perfect opportunity to pay him back for breaking off their engagement.


She’s the bride-to-be.


The lovely Lady Julianna Montgomery may be the only young woman at the house party who’s not in the market for a husband. She’s quite happily engaged to a marquess, thank you very much, and scarcely remembers the pain of being callously tossed over by the Duke of Worthington nearly two long years ago—till now.


All bets are off.


Rhys seems to be everywhere, flexing his muscles, laboring in the sun—and Julianna has never found him more appealing. With his signature charm, he persuades her to keep his secret. But when she learns he’s determined to win a bet of honor, she can’t resist playing a game of her own. She’ll spend the next fortnight tempting Rhys at every turn and making him lose his precious wager. Even if it means she must lose her heart in the process…

4.5 Stars! This series is great! This is book 2 in the series & can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed Rhys & Julianna’s story! I’m looking forward to reading book 3! I’d also like to read a story about Julianna’s sister Mary! Rhys’s reason for leaving Julianna & not coming back for awhile is a pretty good one! I definitely recommend this book. I do wish the ending had completely finished the story, now I have to wait for book 3! I can’t wait!! *I received this book at no charge from the publisher and I voluntarily left a review.*

Duke Looks Like A Groomsman is a fantastic historical romance by Valerie Bowman. Ms. Bowman has once again proved her writing abilities with this well-written book. The characters in this book are superb. I love them! Rhys, Duke of Worthington, has bet his friends that he can last longer masquerading as a groomsman than they can as house servants during a house party. Julianna recognizes Rhys as soon as she lays eyes on him, since he broke their engagement two years before. Rhys and Julianna's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle and misunderstandings. I enjoyed every page of this book and can't wait for my next book by Valerie Bowman. Duke Looks Like A Groomsman is book 2 of The Footmen's Club Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
