Collette’s life was all planned out! But fate had a different course for her. Along comes Duke Bedwell and everything changes for both of them!

This was a nice read and I throughly enjoyed it. If you like strong characters, then you should enjoy this book.

This is my honest review.

4.5 Stars!!!!

This was my first by this author and certainly won't be the last. A brilliantly written historical romance....one with plenty of swoon and heat! I absolutely loved Colette. She represented grace and a trueness to herself. Her birth and societal status was not of her own fault but she took it in stride and it was evident in the way she carried and conducted herself in public eye. Sure she probably could've used some lessons on a more proper etiquette in her interactions with someone higher in society but she still had an elegance and grace in her honesty. And I absolutely held her brother Chase in such high esteem in what he did for Colette and her other illegitimate sisters. Oh and don't get me started on Addison...or His Highness the Duke. He had a grumpy initial exterior but once Colette was able to sneak under his carefully crafted walls, he was an absolute dream and romantic. He had such a tender and soft side that Colette was able to set free and I loved everything about their journey as a couple and discovering their true compatibility. Their chemistry was off the charts and I was rooted for them despite some familial setbacks. I appreciated that their story was not one of insta-lust or purely physical as the physical chemistry was definitely there but there was a deeper and emotional connection that made their love beautiful.

Over cleanly written....a few profane words (the 'd' word) and there were several open door intimate scenes -- not overly graphic or descriptive or crude language but definitely conveyed passion.

Great Historical Romance

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023

Duke Addison was intrigued when he met Collette/Cole. They got stuck on a stairwell together for a few hours. He was so intrigued by her that he kissed her. Because of that and the fact that they were together alone for so long, he felt he had ruined her. He offered marriage, but Cole refused. Having been illegitimate, she did not feel qualified to be a duchess. Addison liked Cole better the more he was around her. He continued to offer marriage, and she continued to refuse. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters are interesting, and I laughed out loud more than once. I highly recommend this historical romance.

Teacher’s Need Love Too

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2023

The following are my thoughts as I read this book. Collette Jones…illegitimate daughter of Lord Chadwick, new language teacher at girls refinement school, often confused by society and its rules. Addison Brierton…Duke of Bedwell, older brother to Lady Fiona Brierton, believes honor is very important. The h is so funny with her curiosity, it takes over her manners at times. The initial meeting between the MCs is not love at first sight, LOL. The H is shocked and intrigued by the refusal of the h to his proposal. The mother of the H is searching for a wife for her son and plans a house party. The h has just learned what her half-brother experienced by acknowledging her and her sisters. Oh the H just shared a very big secret with the h. I understand the reluctance of the h but I think she is letting fear guide her decision. LOL the sister-in-law came to the same conclusion I did and she confronted the h with it. The H is determined to make the h his wife but his mother is not having it. Oh my the mother of the H is not acting like a duchess at all. Ahh now I understand the H’s fear. Nothing like nearly dying to put things into perspective the MCs were triumphant. I enjoyed reading this story. I found myself rooting for the h to see herself as she really was. The H was not perfect and had his own on trial to overcome. Together they naturally brought out the best qualities in one another. I was also pleased that it was a generally good story about crossing social lines for love. Overall, a good read. Yes there is adult language and some steam.

I want this Duke for my own!

I LOVED the hero, Addison, and the heroine, Collette. She was the illegitimate daughter of a Baron and he was the Duke with an illegitimate older brother and they had so much in common it was wonderful.
He was willing to move heaven and earth to make her his Duchess while she felt unworthy due to her birth.
Once they fell in love, it was wonderful how he kept telling her she was perfect until she finally began to see herself as worthy of his love and of being his bride. He fought the 'ton' and his mother for the right to make her his wife. The mother was perfectly awful, and his deceased father was even worse, if it were not for his supportive brother, and his outlet of writing books under an alias, his upbringing could have crushed him. But thankfully, it taught him what he did NOT want to become. I don't need to tell of the story line as others have already done so. I want to tell you of the depth of feeling you have for these characters - the H and h, Collette's brother and sister in law, and the H's brother. They are wonderful people that help to make this great love possible!
Trust me, Addison the Duke is every woman's dream. Oh, to have a man love you as he loved Collette. Sigh......if only there were another Addison out there for me!

Highly entertaining

Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2023

Really enjoyed this book. I don’t believe I’ve read many books from this writer, if any, so I was very agreeably surprised at the quality of the writing. The book dealt with the discrimination ordinary people were subjected to by the aristocracy of this time period. The subject matter was well handled. There was no great exaggeration but we know from history that segregation and inequity were prevalent in this society. The characters were well developed, and sufficient background info was given to enable the reader to empathize with them. As usual, I would have liked the book to continue a bit further in order to see the outcome of the “truce” with the mother-in-law. And what about the vandals who destroyed the home? Were they apprehended? Who were they? I’m assuming I will have to buy the next book in the series to find out? 🤨

The Duke of Bedwell is endearing, prim school teacher Collette Jones finds out when she learns of his vulnerabilities when she's trapped in her school with him by chance. They both had a real scare fearing the consequences should they be discovered, and the incident is only the start of the misadventures they both suffer. I loved this story and characters and Anabelle Anders is one of my favourite Regency Romance authors.

Saucy recency romp

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

I'm glad this author has seen well deserved success with her writing because this is a lightweight saucy romp in the "Ooh Mr Darcey" style. All sorts of characters behaving outside the norms of society at the time but who cares? It makes us aware of how lucky we are to have all the life choices we can make whilst taking us on a romantic romp. Highly recommend

Some typos, a rather improbable story, somewhat dragged out. Easy to read. I'm not sure I would read any others in the series .
