Description

Once she was London’s most admired beauty. Now she hides from the world—and from the man who sees her too clearly. In this steamy Beauty and the Beast Victorian historical romance, a scarred heiress and a notorious rake turned railway magnate must choose between protecting their guarded hearts—or risking everything for love. Winner of the Maggie Award for Excellence Winner of the Golden Leaf Winner of the Passionate Plume Once London’s reigning debutante, Lady Beatrice Wodehouse was destined for a brilliant future—until a devastating accident destroys her dreams. Branded “Lady Beastly” by cruel society gossip, she retreats to the countryside, where she creates a refuge for society’s outcasts and rebuilds her life in quiet anonymity. Yet one secret longing remains: she still dreams of passion—and the chance to be seen as she truly is. Once London’s most notorious rake, Wickham Murray is determined to prove he is more than a careless Adonis. Now a powerful railway industrialist, he is on the brink of securing the greatest triumph of his career—if he can persuade one stubborn country landowner to sell her estate. But a chance encounter with a mysterious masked woman at a masquerade awakens his deepest desires and complicates his plans: for she is also the obstacle to his redemption. As business rivals become secret lovers and hidden dangers close in, Bea and Wick must confront the truths they fear most about themselves—and each other. Yet when a deadly enemy strikes from the shadows, they must decide whether to protect their hearts…or risk everything for a love strong enough to transform them both. "You get all the feels in all the right places when reading a Grace Callaway book... The love affair between Wick and Bea is beautiful (and scorching)." — Goodreads reviewer Grace Callaway writes hot and heart-melting historical romances packed with steam, swoon, and suspense.

    It was a great book but,the question of will she or won’t she was a little drawn out. It made me nervous. However notice I still liked it enough to finish and write a review. I was glad to see Wick get his happily ever after.
  • A great combo

    Grace Callaway is one of my favorite authors. She has given readers yet another fantastic addition to the Game of Dukes series. Book 4 in the series, The Duke Redemption tells the story of Lady Beatrice Wodehouse and Wickham Murray. This novel is a retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast story, which romance novels are known for. In this instance however it is the heroine Bea, who is the scarred recluse. The novel is also somewhat of an enemies to lovers tale.

    l have come to trust how Ms. Callaway is able to make the relationships between the heroine and hero realistic. The heroine and hero complimented each other. The reader doesn’t feel as if their feelings were rushed, instead their love develops naturally. Wickham was a worthy hero and having read the other books in the series I admired how Ms. Callaway has shown the development of his character. We have seen Wick go from being a ne'er-do-well to a honorable man. In the novel Bea has something that Wickham needs if his next business deal is to succeed. To give it up however will affect not only her but others. The theme of the things we hold onto whether physical or emotional is explored in this novel. Wick was able to help Bea discover the beauty that she was all along.

    Ms. Calloway’s love scenes are hot!!! I know I blushed a few times. She is the mistress of creating steamy love scenes which enhance the novel without a hint of tawdriness. As usual in the mystery component is important. I have always appreciated how this author is able to develop the mystery aspect of her novels without it overshadowing the romance. This book was no different as the mystery complimented the romance.

    The Duke Redemption was one novel that ticked off aspects I love 1. romance, 2. mystery and 3. hot love scenes. Grace Callaway has another hit on her hands.

    Please note it isn’t necessary to read the preceding books in the series to understand and enjoy The Duke Redemption. I was asked to give an honest review for an ARC of this novel.
