A demanding duke is seduced by a thoroughly unsuitable beauty in this Regency romance novel.
England, 1817. Dominic Beauchamp, Lord Avon, is a powerful duke's heir. As such, it is his duty to marry well. His bride must have impeccable breeding, manners and grace. But can anyone meet his exacting standards? Certainly not the irrepressible Liberty Lovejoy, who's been thrust into society after years of being a provincial nobody. She's too bold, too bubbly . . . so why is she the only lady he's thinking about?

Daring to Love the Duke’s Heir is book two of The Beauchamp Heirs Series by Janice Preston. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. Preston sprinkles just the right amount of romance and humor into her stories. I fell in love with the hero Dominic Beauchamp, Lord Avon almost immediately. His desire to please his family and to honor his mother’s last wish is understandable, but it puts his ability to find true happiness at risk. Liberty Lovejoy is a hoot. Her spontaneous actions often put her and her siblings in jeopardy. I enjoyed the back and forth bickering between Liberty and Dominic.  And I loved the growing attraction between the two. “Nerves fluttered deep in her belly as she got her first good look at his pale silvery gray eyes and the utter confidence they conveyed. And why should they not? Not only was he the son of one of the most powerful Dukes in the land but he was sinfully, classically handsome with a straight nose, sharp cheekbones and a beautifully sculpted mouth above a determined chin. Those silvery eyes of his seemed to penetrate deep inside her and yet they were as opaque as a silver coin, revealing no hint of his thoughts.”

You can’t go wrong reading Preston’s work. Every book is a wonderful ride.
