Janet's Reviews > How to Catch a Devilish Duke

Lady Charlotte Hastings, already branded a hellion by polite society, is in a terrible scrape courtesy of London’s most notorious blackguard Baron Rochfort. Charlie’s bold attempt to extricate herself from the fine pickle she’s in takes an unexpected turn when the devilishly handsome Maximilian, the Duke of Exmoor,the rakehell she’s secretly loved for years, comes to her aid. Upon discovering the irrepressible Lady Charlotte (his best friend’s younger sister) is in danger, Max Devereux feels duty bound to offer assistance. Only he soon realizes he’s also mired in deep trouble when an entirely inconvenient desire for Charlie sparks to life. If that’s not enough to contend with, Max’s manipulative mother is busily engineering his betrothal to a perfectly polished debutante. When unforeseen disaster strikes plunging both Charlie and Max headlong into a new public scandal, Max proposes a deal: to restore Charlie’s good name and to help Max avoid his mother’s machinations, they’ll enter a temporary engagement-of-convenience. But even the best laid plans can go awry.
This is the fourth book in this captivating series, it could be read on its own but if you love series then I’d recommend reading from the start. Another well written engrossing, brilliant read. I loved both Max & Charlie, she's full of life & he's 'I'm not going to fall in love' duke, however the chemistry between the pair was electric & I was totally drawn in from the first page & enthralled until the very satisfying ending. I loved how their relationship developed & how they fell in love. A heart warming book which I highly recommend
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
