Loved it!. When Lady Sarah Emerson started getting letters about her cousin's death, she could think of only one person to go to for help, her cousin's former fiancee Gabriel Ferguson, the Duke of Rossmayne. She soons finds herself living with the duke and his mother in order to protect her from the letter writer. Having always thought the Gabriel was an intimidating man, she is confused by her attraction to him. Having never really noticed his former fiancee's cousin, Gabriel soon wonders how he could have missed seeing the beautiful and smart woman that was right in front of him. Planning to help Sarah and go back to India, he soon realizes that he might have a reason to stay. But he can't even begin to analyze his feelings until he knows that Sarah is safe and they find the person responsible for the letters. Could the madman that brought so much pain be the reason these two find an everlasting love? I loved this story!! I like that we have a wallflower that ends up blossoming! Sarah had always stood in the shadow of her more outgoing cousin. She didn't like going to parties and mingling with the ton. She really made herself invisible to those around her. But when she found something in which she had a passion for, she was a completely different person. She needed to find the person responsible for killing her cousin, who was like a sister to her. Breaking out of her comfort zone was much easier to do when she had something to fight for. I really liked Gabriel. He was reluctant to have Sarah participate in the investigation, but soon learned that there was no stopping her. It was better for her to be with him, than have her go off on her own. He soon learned that she wasn't as meek as he had thought. He allowed her to grow into the woman that she was meant to be. I'm really hoping that Montgomery will get his own story, but whatever Cullen puts out next will be on my must read list!! Thanks go out to Random House via NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange of an honest review.

Loved It!. Sharon Cullen has become one of my favorite historical romance authors and this book is a shining example of why. The descriptive writing truly takes you back to the time in history that each of her stories visit. The characters are so vivid and realistic that you truly feel that you've traveled through time and are getting to catch a glimpse into the parlors and homes of the people in the books. I love the strength that Sara possesses, she's not a flighty, fainting woman, she's so strong and won't allow convention or anyone get in her way to finding the truth. She does show fear and vulnerability and you find yourself captured in the adventure, the mystery and the hunt. The love story is fascinating, two such different characters and worlds colliding and finding their way through the darkness, coming together to right a horrible wrong. It's truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

Try it -- You'll like it. I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in order to review it. This is my first Sharon Cullen novel, but it won't be my last. I really liked it. Gosh, this one has it all. A handsome duke, a spunky heroine, a grisley murderer, love, discord -- you name it and it is in here. Two years earlier the cousin of Lady Sara Emerson was viciously murdered. The murderer was never apprehended. Now, Sarah has begun getting threatening letters. She doesn't know where to turn for help because her aunt and uncle (parents of the cousin who was killed) have split up because of all of the trauma surrounding the murder. Finally, she decides to turn to her cousin's fiance - Gabriel Ferguson, Duke of Rossmoyne. The duke does all he can to protect Sara, but it isn't easy because they are trying to keep the letters secret and parents, friends, etc. keep trying to take Sara out to different events. Their journey to love is a sweet and exciting one. Buy the book, you'll love it.

Lovely and Well Written Tale. After the violent murder of her cousin, Lady Sara Emerson begins receiving letters from the alleged perpetrator. Not knowing any other way to solve the mystery of who is sending the letters, Sara seeks out her deceased cousin's fiance, Gabriel Ferguson, the Duke of Rossmoyne. When Ross discovers the goings on he takes Sara into his protection in order to get to the bottom of his lost love's murder. Sara is nothing like Meredith, but that doesn't stop Ross from noticing Sara for who she is. Sara places her trust in the foreboding duke and even under the cloud of danger, their attraction for one another quickly comes to the surface and Sara being in danger is not something that Ross will accept. The loss of one woman was enough, the loss of Sara is just not a possibility. But there is someone out there who threatens their safety and like it or not, Sara and the duke must find out who it is. The Reluctant Duchess is a lovey tale by Sharon Cullen. This well written story is compelling and intriguing. Both Rossmoyne and Sara are interesting characters full of life and personality. The mystery fuels their romance, the danger only adding to it. I enjoyed The Reluctant Duchess by Sharon Cullen and think you will too.

These two are adorable together. I’m a fan of Cullen’s Secrets & Seductions series, using spies and romance to wind a tale. In this story, we meet Sara, reeling from her cousin’s murder and now receiving some threatening letters of her own. She turns to Gabriel, Duke of Rossmoyne, her cousin’s former fiancé for help, and the stage is set. Sara was an interesting character: less sparkly than her cousin, she is a shy and calming presence, not demanding of bow and scrape. When his fiancé was murdered, Ross told Sara’s family they could turn to him for assistance, and now it appears that the murderer is targeting Sara. So, he takes action, moving Sara into his home and contacting his friend who specializes in investigation. Ross is brash, forward moving and not always careful with his words: all fitting of a man of his title and station. He’s not uncaring however, he just wants to be at sea and not tied down to the constraints of society and the tonne. These two are adorable together: we find a solid sense of Sara through interior monologue and concise observations. She’s truly the lynchpin in the story, even as Ross brings some flash and the occasional kerfuffle. He’s intrigued by Sara the more they get to know one another, and that reliance becomes one of desire and enjoyment of one another, rather than a dependence for protection. Twists and turns with plenty of questions surrounding the threats and why, this is a wonderful story that will leave you wanting more. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
