Praise for THE ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS:
"Blackmailed and faced with embarrassment and the suspicion of
treason if the draft of her ill-advised, racy adventure novel is
made public, unconventional Lady Lydia Alfreton heads to the gaming
tables to raise some cash. Sadly, her gambling plan goes awry, and
she is forced to call in an old bet with the Duke of Penthurst and
recklessly wager (and lose) her virtue. Although the duke doesn’t
plan to collect, he keeps Lydia guessing. Then Lydia’s ill-advised
attempt to deal with the blackmailer brings Penthurst to the
rescue, compromising them both, and suddenly it’s marriage, not
simple seduction, that lay ahead. VERDICT A rash, adventure-seeking
heroine and an honorable, take-charge hero clash splendidly as
passions blaze in this complex story that pairs another marvelously
singular couple, brings the bad guys to justice, and cleverly ties
up the loose ends...—to the delight of all concerned." --Library
Journal
"Fueled by an abundance of subtle wit and potent sensuality, The
Accidental Duchess...is another exquisitely crafted love story by
one of the romance genre’s masters." --Booklist
Praise for the novels of Madeline Hunter
"Another stellar Regency-set historical romance that hits all the
literary marks. Hunter’s effortlessly elegant writing exudes a
wicked sense of wit; her characterization is superbly subtle, and
the sexual chemistry she cooks up between her deliciously
independent heroine and delightfully sexy hero is pure
passion."—Booklist (starred review)
"Intelligent and memorable...As smart and sharp as the best of
Regency romances can be. With its tangy dialogue, Pride and
Prejudice themes, bits of mystery and nefarious characters, readers
may be reminded of Jane Austen."—Romantic Times (Top Pick)
“Hunter’s books are so addictive.”—Publishers Weekly
“Hunter's flowery centerpiece will suit every romance table. Highly
recommended.”—Library Journal
