Why Dukes Say I Do Wicked Widows Manda Collins 9781250023834 Books

I have found that this is not the only series this author has written, however it is the first I have read of her work. But IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST!!!!!!

The story doesn’t open with an innocent little miss shyly meeting circumstances of life. NO, it opens with a knife wielding lady of the ton. What else could a reader ask for? The lady, with a secret of her own that will ruin her and her sisters is, perhaps forced, to leave city society life by her godmother, to visit the doesn’t care about society duke who really likes life in the country. The duke has no use for city life and is completely happy and at home in the country. The godmother wants the duke to take his rightful place in a society that rejected him before he became a duke.

The heroines past marriage has left her with unhappy experiences from her husband from hell and for reasons she doesn’t want made known she has no options except to follow the godmother’s “request” and go to the country. The duke’s first impression is much like what he reserves for all society ladies. Her past may have changed her exterior but it hasn’t changed her inner strength and spirit. What is a sophisticated lady being followed by a blackmailer to do, except adapt to country life with a steamy passion she didn’t know she had.

Her inner self comes more to light as she becomes acquainted with the duke’s sisters and she takes it upon herself to correct the overprotectiveness of the duke and their lack of formal education. She does learn that there is more to life than an unhappy past. She finds she must somehow keep to her task of bringing the duke to town while holding onto a promise of a different future without her secrets being found out.

The hero’s past of being rejected makes him reject all except those under his direct care and responsibility, which he excels at. I think he is somewhat surprised when a society lady which seems to have a very tough exterior falls soon under his protection and the layers soon peel away to reveal more of them than they want the other to know.

These two characters, while having every reason to behave as they do as their past made them react this way, must find a way around what was and believe in what could be. Revenge, blackmail, danger, mystery, intrigue, and spicy romance help make this book a foundation to bring the readers interest and anticipation for the rest of the books in the series. The secondary characters promise to be very interesting in the upcoming series.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading this authors past as well as future work.

Why Dukes Say I Do Wicked Widows Manda Collins 9781250023834 Books Reviews

This book captures your interest right of the bat. Not only is there a murder, but soon there is a mystery that follows it, and it flows well throughout the book. The H/h are easy to love, and have their own quirks about them - more the h than the H. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
First time read for me from this author and I definitely with read more from her. Loved the fast- pace, suspense and mystery with the growing strength of love, forgiveness, and courage with all the character's. Usually I figure out the mystery of "who done it " early in the story, but I must say I was truly in suspense up to the end. Great read and would of gave 4 1/2 stars if could.
This is the second book I have read by Manda Collins and I think she shows a lot of promise. This book held my attention throughout. I liked Isabella who remained strong despite her brutal husband, Trevor was a good hero...loved his caring of his sisters and tenants etc. The mystery aspect was also good. My only complaint was the romance..too little!! More love scenes please. However, all in all, a good read.
I gave it 4 stars it was a good book kept me turning the pages I started the book and finished in a day!! so it was that good! I would have to say the only con is I thought it was a little predictable, ( yes I figured who the Manman was in the 4 or 5 chapter) but other than that, I loved the romance and I'm always a sucker for a good lover scene or 2 or 3... LOL The romance between the H&H is excellent you fall in love with both of them. I can't wait to read Georgian's and Perdita Story, plus I could already see something happening with Luce and Mrs Nightengale!! and O you can't forget the Sister Belinda and Eleanor you just know there is more to come! I lover Books that have Sequels..
Isabella is between a rock and a hard place...she wants to stay a widow after a bad marriage and a clandestine murder as well. The book gets off to an exciting start. She is charged by her beastly godmother to drag the new and recalcitrant earl back from the country wheh his uncle and cousin both meet their maker. The one part I didn't like was how the godmother just cannot for the life of her accept what a horrible beast her immortalized (and now deceased) heir really was. She has major blinders on.
I thoroughly enjoyed Isabella and Trevor's story.

I loved seeing them fall in love - it was paced perfectly. Both of them were likable and the touch of mystery was a great addition to the story without overwhelming the romance.

I liked all of the secondary characters and honestly a bit surprised when I realized the hero in the next book was linked to Isabella's sister in this book. That ought to be interesting )

I highly recommend this book and can hardly wait for the next book.
Manda Collins is a new author for me.I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was enough intrigue, drama, danger and loving to fill the book. Lady Wharton goes into the country to try and persuade the Duke to come to London. He doesn't want to but he tells her if she follows him around seeing what he does, he will go to London with her. He doesn't like his Grandmother who is the Dowager Duchess. She after all didn't stop her husband from disowning his son when he married beneath him. But the new Duke wants to protect Lady Wharton who is receiving very threatening messages. She is frightened and he won't let her take this on herself. In the end they find out who has been threatening her and they save Lady Wharton from ruin. In all I really like this book. I will try another of her books soon.
