Blog Tour + Review: "Duke I'd Like to F..." Historical Romance Anthology

I am super excited to participate in the blog tour celebrating the release of the "Duke I'd Like to F..." historical romance anthology, featuring stories by authors Sierra Simone, Joanna Shupe, Eva Leigh, Nicola Davidson, and Adriana Herrera. I used to read nothing but historical romance, but I've gotten away from it in the past few years after discovering so many wonderful contemporary authors and needing to catch up on their backlists. Historical will always be my first love, however, and it's comforting to come back to it whenever I find the time. That's one of the reasons I was so excited to pick up this anthology. The other is the fantastic selection of authors included; I've read Joanna Shupe and Eva Leigh before and loved them, as well as a few of Adriana Herrera's contemporaries. 

 

The stories from the three authors mentioned above more than lived up to my expectations, and I am happy to recommend this anthology based on them alone. I haven't had a chance to read Sierra Simone or Nicola Davidson's stories yet, but plan to come back to them as soon as I find the time.

 

I haven't yet had a chance to write reviews of the individual stories, but at some point (hopefully in the near future!) I will update this post to include them. In the meantime, I highly recommend "Duke I'd Like to F..." for all fans of historical romance. I will definitely make time to read more work by these authors in the future!

About "Duke I'd Like to F..."

He’s got big duke energy… 

The Chasing of Eleanor Vane - Sierra Simone 

Ajax Dartham, the Duke of Jarrell, has a problem. And that problem is his future niece-in-law. When the clever and capable Lady Eleanor Vane—understandably—runs off into the night rather than marry his horrible nephew, the Duke has a choice. Should he catch Eleanor and return her to her fate—or make Eleanor his own instead?

My Dirty Duke - Joanna Shupe
Violet knows that her father's best friend, the Duke of Ravensthorpe, is the most powerful man in all of London with a reputation for sin. But nothing can stop Violet from wanting to shed her wallflower ways and fulfill her darkest, most forbidden desires...even if it means seducing a man twice her age.

An Education In Pleasure - Eva Leigh
As a governess to the Duke of Tarrington, Cecilia Holme resigns herself to a passionless life. Except now the old duke is dead and Owen, the new duke, is very tempting—and much younger. Is the chance to give Owen an education in pleasure too enticing to refuse? 

Duke For Hire - Nicola Davidson 

As her fiery clergyman father chases away all suitors, Miss Ada Blair is resigned to spinsterhood. Yet while she can’t wed, bedding might be another matter. One man meets all her requirements for a discreet and expert pleasure tutor—Jasper Muir, Duke of Gilroy—but he insists on a very wicked contract… 

 

The Duke Makes Me Feel... - Adriana Herrera 

Dukes and their demands are nothing new for Marena Baine-Torres. Her newfound success has her little apothecary teeming with ill-mannered aristocrats. But as tiresome as they are, she needs the business. When the unflappable Duke of Linley storms into her shop and makes her an offer she’d be a fool to refuse, Marena soon finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime with a man who is as infuriating as he is intriguing.
