St。 George (the To Wed a Viking series) delivers a new twist on a love triangle in the addictive introduction to her Gilded Age Heiresses series。 Evan Sterling, Duke of Rothschild, is drowning in debt left by his irresponsible father and must make a wealthy match if he hopes to provide for his mother and sisters。 His mother arranges for him to marry American heiress Violet Crenshaw—but Violet’s heart belongs to another, and her bluestocking older sister, August, makes it her mission to save Violet from the match。 When August encounters Evan, she realizes she’s met him once before without knowing his name—and the two shared a blistering kiss。 Though August loves her work at her father’s company and is uninterested in marriage, Evan is captivated by her strength, wit, and willfulness, and switches his suit from Violet to August, setting off a seductive game of emotional tug-of-war。 When their attraction deepens into a true connection, Evan struggles with guilt over knowing that August does not want to be married, while August feels pressured to choose between love and career。 The result is a fun, fresh historical romance that gives both formidable characters their due。 Agent: Nicole Resciniti, the Seymour Agency。 (Jan。)

Harper St。 George starts out a new series set in the Gilded Age, a time when the failing fortunes of the British aristocracy meant they had no choice but to accept the attentions of upstart Americans with their new money and brash ways。 In The Heiress Gets the Duke, St。 George gives us the story of August, a thoughtful, independent woman who has no interest in marriage to an aristocrat, especially since marriage would mean giving up her work for her father’s ironworks。 Her younger sister is offered up to the eponymous Duke, Evan Sterling, but he decides to woo August instead。 Partly out of fascination for a woman who would refuse a Duke and partly out of financial desperation。 St。 George does a terrific job at making us want desperately for the two characters to get together already while at the same time having real sympathy for August’s ambivalence about marriage。 That this romance is set in the Gilded Age makes it even more compelling reading。 There are cracks in the rigid social constructs of the more familiar Regency period, and watching her characters navigate some of the same circumstances (waltz etiquette) and new ones (the decline of the agriculture-based economy) is a treat for readers of historical romance。 Intelligent, engaging characters combined with a heartfelt romance – what more could you ask for?

I love a good historical romance。 I enjoyed this book but after loving Evie dunmores books it just fell to similar but not quite as good。 I guess all historical romance is somewhat similar I just found myself comparing it to bringing down the duke and bridgerton and thinking they both did a better job。 It was still enjoyable and the love scene was steamy!

2。5 Stars。 All in all, the romance was on the back burner a little too much for my taste。 "The Heiress Gets a Duke" has a lot of plot。 This plot includes plentiful conversations about business- both the hero's and the heroine's- as well as a larger commentary on society as a whole。。。specifically on the lack of choice given to women in regards to marriage。 While I did think the plot was interesting enough and this book was well written, the romance felt like a plot device for a bigger commentary。 2。5 Stars。 All in all, the romance was on the back burner a little too much for my taste。 "The Heiress Gets a Duke" has a lot of plot。 This plot includes plentiful conversations about business- both the hero's and the heroine's- as well as a larger commentary on society as a whole。。。specifically on the lack of choice given to women in regards to marriage。 While I did think the plot was interesting enough and this book was well written, the romance felt like a plot device for a bigger commentary。(!!The Duke of Rothschild was an actual sweetheart though!!) 。。。more

This was great。 The historical element is one thing but an Heiress from New York? Come on。 I loved everything about Evans character。 I always felt he was forthcoming, honest and transparent。 My only drawback is that often times I feel like the women want to be left alone and chased。 I know sometimes it can be hard to sort through your feelings but there were a few times I felt myself growing irritated with August。 I think that she learned a lot of valuable lessons about herself and her family。 B This was great。 The historical element is one thing but an Heiress from New York?

The chemistry between Evan and August is clearly there and it’s a sweet story。 But I found the book to be so boring overall because of all the fluff。 Clearly this is a period romance, and a large picture is to be painted regarding the various contexts and sceneries。 But it was just too much to hold my attention at times。 I often found myself just skipping to dialogue between the characters。

Doesn’t get much hotter than that。As someone who has many a bone to pick with the romance genre, I have to say - absolutely recommend this one!! 。。。more

August is a New York City heiress visiting a friend in London for the Season during the Gilded Age。 Her childhood friend has been forced to marry an English lord to advance her family's social agenda and the marriage is a deeply unhappy one。 Her friend's marriage is loosely based on poor Consuelo Vanderbilt's forced marriage to the 9th Duke of Marlborough--the duke got cash and Consuelo got a title。 Yay? Everyone was miserable and the marriage ended in divorce。 August can see that her friend is August is a New York City heiress visiting a friend in London for the Season during the Gilded Age。 Her childhood friend has been forced to marry an English lord to advance her family's social agenda and the marriage is a deeply unhappy one。 Her friend's marriage is loosely based on poor Consuelo Vanderbilt's forced marriage to the 9th Duke of Marlborough--the duke got cash and Consuelo got a title。 Yay? Everyone was miserable and the marriage ended in divorce。 August can see that her friend is desolate and so she fights any way she can when she learns that her own parents have similar social ambitions for their own family。 August's family comes from a railroad dynasty, much like the Vanderbilt tycoons, and when the parents find out there's a duke who desperately needs cash they agree to a betrothal between said duke and August's younger, and more traditional sister, Violet。 Both sisters fight their parents who are unyielding。 They understand that this alliance will bring them the social status not afforded them as new money in NYC and will also bring business opportunities in England and the British Empire。 As a feisty American, August decides to take matters into her own hands and tells the duke to leave her sister alone。 And he does。 But only to fix his attentions on her, instead。So this is the tried-and-true marriage of necessity trope, but with the interesting twist that as an independent American, August has no interest in an English title。 Or a husband of duty。 She works in the family business and draws her own salary and really can't see the need for marriage unless it's a love match。 The duke finds himself having to rely on his wits to persuade August to marry him, which, as an English peer of the realm, he's never had to do。 Woman fall all over him all the time so someone who is not swooning at the idea of becoming a duchess really takes him off his game。 These two are always extremely honest with each other and it's fun to watch their verbal sparring。 (Until the Great Misunderstanding later in the book sees them acting out of character。) They form an emotional bond and it is heartening to see them try to solve both of their problems together。 This is a better-than-average fun, romance book。 。。。more

I liked the story。 It was a pretty basic broke Duke, rich heiress story, but it was well told。 However August (the rich heiress) was kind of a Jerk。 I'm not so sure that they would fall in love based on their encounters。 I would recommend this book and I would definitely read more from this author。 I liked the story。 It was a pretty basic broke Duke, rich heiress story, but it was well told。 However August (the rich heiress) was kind of a Jerk。 I'm not so sure that they would fall in love based on their encounters。 I would recommend this book and I would definitely read more from this author。 。。。more
