Six Regency heroes--One royal hangover.
An infamous night has been lost to memory. The scandalous Dukes of the Royal Entourage must make amends. The first step is a heroic rescue.
One of England's most disreputable peers, Alexander Barclay, Duke of Kress, has stumbled upon a perfect opportunity for redemption. Having been exiled to Cornwall by the Prince Regent himself, Barclay discovers lovely Roxanne Vanderhaven clinging to the edge of a cliff, stranded there by her murderous blackguard of a husband . . . just waiting to be rescued.
Back on solid ground, Roxanne is desperate for a new life-- once she's retaliated for her husband's despicable actions. Surprisingly, she finds herself drawn to her unlikely champion, certainly the last man in England she could count on. Yet, the infamous Duke of Kress isn't quite the scoundrel he seems . . . [via GoodReads]
Alexander Barclay, the ninth Duke of Kress, has no recollection of what went on last night. After waking up with a splitting headache and coming to the conclusion that all the other Dukes he partied with the night before are in the same predicament that he is, he knows that nothing good must have happened the night before. When their night of debauchery is described in full detail in the paper, he comes to learn that not only has he lost his fortune in a bet that he doesn't even remember, but he has made Prinny very upset.
Now banished to the country, Prinny has ordered that Alex get two things accomplished, first restore his ancestral home/castle back to its former glory and secondly, that he find himself a bride. No easy feat since, firstly, he's broke and, secondly, he has no interest in settling down.
This was so fun!! Very refreshing and entertaining - full of moments that caused me to laugh out of loud... which is no easy task. I found Alex, Roxanne, Alex's great-aunt and all the other Dukes to be an uproariously funny bunch. The situations were fun, the characters were quirky and the dialogue was delightful. Ms. Nash's start to her "Royal Entourage" series is a hit. I've read that the movie "The Hangover" was an inspiration for this series and I can definitely appreciate a story line like that. I cannot wait to see what she has in store for the remaining Dukes. Sheer pleasure to read!
