The Worst Duke in the World: The Penhallow Dynasty

By Lisa Berne

Book Overview

"Attention, Bridgerton
fans: if you're ready to delve deeper into the world of historical romances, The
Worst Duke in the World by Lisa Berne is a fun place to
start." --Pop Sugar

A wayward duke must choose: will he be the bad hero in a love
story gone awry, or the brave and clever hero who risks everything for true love? The acclaimed Penhallow Dynasty series continues in this fresh,
fun, funny tale

Life's no bowl of
cherries for Anthony Farr, the Duke of Radcliffe. Duty demands he remarry to
provide a spare to go along with the heir -- and eligible ladies keep trying to
finagle him into a proposal. All he wants is to be a good father to his
8-year-old son, see the Duchess (his truly terrific pig) win first prize at the
harvest f te, and stay single. Even if
that makes him a Bad Duke. Maybe the Worst Duke in the World.
Then Miss Jane
Kent, a long-lost relation of the illustrious Penhallow family, arrives in the
neighborhood and is promptly befriended by the Duke's son. Jane, Anthony comes
to realize, is smart and fun and also very kissable and dazzlingly desirable.
Still, that's not enough to melt his resistance to marrying again. He made
a stern promise to himself and promises must, of course, be kept.
But what if that's
just his head talking, and his heart . . . is saying something entirely
different?
"Delicious." --Sarah MacLean, The Washington Post, on You
May Kiss the Bride
"...It's champagne in book form -- bubbly, fun, and
intoxicating far more quickly than one might anticipate." --Entertainment Weekly

Customer Reviews

A rollicking good time!

This book was so much fun to read because of the deft writing of dialogue. Anthony Farr is a single father raising a boisterous son and award-winning hogs with his widowed sister hell-bent on getting him a bride. His marriage, to his deceased brother's fiance, leaves him with an unsatisfactory experience of the state. And then he meets Jane Kent, his new neighbor and finds himself enjoying her company as she is unlike any other miss he's met. It's a wonderful romp witnessing their relationship develop; a definate keeper!
