Summary
New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns with an all new sizzling historical romance in her Duke Hunt series about a woman determined to reclaim her family home from the dangerously handsome owner of London’s most popular gaming hell。
The owner of London’s most popular gaming hell， wealthy and powerful Silas Masters is feared by men and desired by women—except Mercy Kittinger。 When the blackguard wins her family home in a game of cards， Mercy steals into Silas’s rooms， intent on destroying the proof。 But things don’t go to plan。。。
She would have her way with him。。。
Caught in the act， Mercy must be bold to save herself。。。 even if it means seducing the dangerous rogue and then disappearing with the dawn， debt voucher in hand。 Safe at home and determined to settle back into her quiet， uneventful life， Mercy burns at the memory of her night spent ravishing the most compelling man she’d ever met。 Thank goodness she’ll never see him again！
He didn't see her coming。。。
No one trifles with Silas Masters。 Even if he could forget the dark-haired seductress who undid him， he can’t allow anyone to steal from him。 He will hunt down the sultry woman who haunts his dreams and show her just how sweet payback can be。

Let's call this a 2。5; mostly a fun time but sadly the romance just didn't do it for me， and I totally and completely lost my shit at the leads' "bodies fitting as one， like TWO SLICES OF BREAD reunited。。。" Sorry， just couldn't bounce back from that one。 Let's call this a 2。5; mostly a fun time but sadly the romance just didn't do it for me， and I totally and completely lost my shit at the leads' "bodies fitting as one， like TWO SLICES OF BREAD reunited。。。" Sorry， just couldn't bounce back from that one。 。。。more

this was fine！ it was entertaining and a quick read。 i didn't necessarily love or hate anything about this book， but i will forget about it。 it was steamy and fun and there was good banter between the romantic leads， but the plot fell flat and the family dynamics were so outrages it made me so mad。 the brother sucked and sister was so immature。 i think the premise was enticing and it started off really good， but as the story went along we didn't get much character development or a romance develo this was fine！ it was entertaining and a quick read。 i didn't necessarily love or hate anything about this book， but i will forget about it。 it was steamy and fun and there was good banter between the romantic leads， but the plot fell flat and the family dynamics were so outrages it made me so mad。 the brother sucked and sister was so immature。 i think the premise was enticing and it started off really good， but as the story went along we didn't get much character development or a romance development really。 it was just physical attraction。 i enjoyed it but didn't love it。thank you avon and harper voyager and netgalley for this advanced reader's copy （ARC） in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Paperback 3。5Silas is supposed to gave dark long unfashionable hair， past his ears。 The cover has him looking like The Hardy Boys ， too preppy。 The olde old dude wins young chick from a loser male family member trope。 Meh。Nothing original here。 Very skimmable。 Hero and heroine were likable。No real gambling hell scenes。

It was just meh。 I wanted to love it and I thought it had an intriguing plot when I glanced over it。 I found myself wanting to skip through the book to she if there was anything interesting at all。

A subversive， sex-positive regency romance with hints of a Pride and Prejudice subplot。 It's refreshing to read a historical romance where the heroine has 100% agency in her sexual decisions。 It was predictable and a little bit shallow -- but overall a fine comfort read if you're looking to scratch the steamy Regency romance itch。 3。5 stars A subversive， sex-positive regency romance with hints of a Pride and Prejudice subplot。 It's refreshing to read a historical romance where the heroine has 100% agency in her sexual decisions。 It was predictable and a little bit shallow -- but overall a fine comfort read if you're looking to scratch the steamy Regency romance itch。 3。5 stars 。。。more

Finally， I’ve read a book。 And this one was pretty good。 The characterization of our two leads is distinct and I liked the directions the plot went。

3 1/2 stars because of the build up of steam in the opening chapters， and the fact that the woman is the one doing the ravishing， which is a nice change of pace。 But I just can't quite bump it up to 4。 This book had been on my wish list for a while now， and honestly， I'm disappointed。 You have the "h as martyr" trope， with Mercy having to keep her entire family afloat。 Her sister and brother are pretty unlikable。 The H， Silas， is the owner of a gaming hell who should be edgy， but I kind of ended 3 1/2 stars because of the build up of steam in the opening chapters， and the fact that the woman is the one doing the ravishing， which is a nice change of pace。 But I just can't quite bump it up to 4。 This book had been on my wish list for a while now， and honestly， I'm disappointed。 You have the "h as martyr" trope， with Mercy having to keep her entire family afloat。 Her sister and brother are pretty unlikable。 The H， Silas， is the owner of a gaming hell who should be edgy， but I kind of ended up feeling "meh" about him。 The elements are there， but there's not much zip to the writing style， characters， or dialogue。 Silas mentions over and over that Mercy smells like oranges （uh， OK。 Not all that sexy。）。 He makes sure that she knows she's not his type， even when she's going to town on him， which dropped the steam level to more of a weak simmer from a boil for me。 I kept hoping for Mercy to have some kind of clever， funny comeback， but it never happens。 "Winter's Wallflower" by Scarlett Scott does a better job with this basic premise， although the ravishing in that book is more mutual。 Also， if you like hot gaming hell owners， I strongly recommend "The Wicked Wallflower" by Tracey Sumner。 。。。more

DNF @ 17%I’m not a prude but a historical romance that almost immediately begins with a graphic sex scene between the two main characters just doesn’t appeal to me。 It doesn’t even make sense considering the woman is a virgin at that point， so she’s going from 0 to 100 in what feels like the blink of an eye。 In general I like to read books in the historical romance genre because of the relationship building， witty dialogue， and underlying sexual tension stemming from how society during this time DNF @ 17%I’m not a prude but a historical romance that almost immediately begins with a graphic sex scene between the two main characters just doesn’t appeal to me。 It doesn’t even make sense considering the woman is a virgin at that point， so she’s going from 0 to 100 in what feels like the blink of an eye。 In general I like to read books in the historical romance genre because of the relationship building， witty dialogue， and underlying sexual tension stemming from how society during this time period constrained people from acting on their desires。 This book has none of that。 Pass。 。。。more

2。75 STARSCute but mechanical， not going to remember this one for longer。 I hated the very beginning – it's a "me" thing – I usually dislike gambiling den-related tropes and gambling den owners as MMCs and I was expecting the worst。 Turned out exceptionally well this part， and there was barely any action happening in the gambling den – FTW for me。Also + no prolonged secrets， secret identities， miscomunication-related conflicts。– Outwardly motivated tension– Barely original characters – I've read 2。75 STARSCute but mechanical， not going to remember this one for longer。 I hated the very beginning – it's a "me" thing – I usually dislike gambiling den-related tropes and gambling den owners as MMCs and I was expecting the worst。 Turned out exceptionally well this part， and there was barely any action happening in the gambling den – FTW for me。Also + no prolonged secrets， secret identities， miscomunication-related conflicts。– Outwardly motivated tension– Barely original characters – I've read about those many many MANY times already and they were intersting enough for me to continue on reading， but not interesting enough to be remembered。 – The relationship was mostly built on their physical desire and certain character compatibilities。 They made each other marginally better， but it felt more like companionship and friendship than some greater intellectual and emotional connection。 Still， it was a simple read and I enjoyed it fairly。Just nothing special 。。。more

Well I liked this second book in the series （ WHY is it called Duke Hunt？） better than the first。 Definitely liked the heroine， Mercy， more。 She was relatable， strong， resilient and sympathetic。 And I love Silas。 Not a rake （ some authors just fail so hard at writing rake stories） but still a great guy。 I love his generosity and strength。 He complements Mercy well。 Hate Mercy’s family。 A lot。 Though her younger wises up， so that is a plus。 I’m on to a new author because Ms Jordan just … she does Well I liked this second book in the series （ WHY is it called Duke Hunt？） better than the first。 Definitely liked the heroine， Mercy， more。 She was relatable， strong， resilient and sympathetic。 And I love Silas。 Not a rake （ some authors just fail so hard at writing rake stories） but still a great guy。 I love his generosity and strength。 He complements Mercy well。 Hate Mercy’s family。 A lot。 Though her younger wises up， so that is a plus。 I’m on to a new author because Ms Jordan just … she doesn’t “move” me with her books。 。。。more

I could not put this book down！ It was incredible！！！ I got it as a ‘blind date with a book’ sort of thing and was intrigued by the blub but never imagined I would enjoy it this much。 You start the book right in the middle of the action， which is maybe my favorite thing about it — that there isn’t an overlylong， drawn out introduction。 It’s just bam - straight action！！ Mercy is such a complex and really lovable character and you really relate to her as the book goes on and you see how much she ha I could not put this book down！ It was incredible！！！ I got it as a ‘blind date with a book’ sort of thing and was intrigued by the blub but never imagined I would enjoy it this much。 You start the book right in the middle of the action， which is maybe my favorite thing about it — that there isn’t an overlylong， drawn out introduction。 It’s just bam - straight action！！ Mercy is such a complex and really lovable character and you really relate to her as the book goes on and you see how much she has to go through。 And Silas <3 Silas， is such a great hero - a perfect person for Mercy and he pushes her out of her comfort zone and into her true self。 I can’t recommend this book enough， and even though it’s listed as a part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone。 Honestly I only just finished this book and already want to go back and reread it！ 。。。more
