(Though Jack does get some help from an earlier Linden character, the hero in What a Gentleman Wants now I definitely need to read his book too.) Quick warning, though-the epilogue contains a major teaser for the next book in the series ( An Earl Like You -I had it on my TBR before I was even halfway done with this one) which is going to make waiting for it to come out twice as difficult. Linden (The Wagers of Sin), so it's a great place to start if you've never read her books before. Still, Jack knows when to bring out the big guns, and did I mention the HEA was nicely done? )My Once and Future Duke is the start of a new series for Ms. The second half, where they're back in London and trying to hide their relationship from everyone is slightly more problematic (neither one of them worries about unintended consequences? Not once? Hardly seems in character for either of them.) and their dark moment felt not quite in character either, especially for Sophie. Watching them initially clash but then gradually grow to like and respect each other was delightful-seeing how Jack's demeanor changed from cold and proper to warm and relaxed, especially through Sophie's eyes, was wonderful. I devoured this book!Jack and Sophie's story was so much fun to read-the first half, when they make their wager and spend time together, is the strongest part of the story, though the HEA was satisfying as well.
