5.0

This is a fun, easy to read collection of novellas by 13 authors. I am a big fan of all the authors and putting one of their stories with a Duke involved in one collection was a great idea! The collection of stories had every emotion a reader would want to read (humor, mystery, drama, and romance). Each story had great characters and was so easy to read. A perfect book if you want to read a variety of stories. I enjoyed reading each story and recommend this book. I will be adding it to my “read again” list.

As with all anthologies, you get a mix of stories, but I have to admit, there wasn't a bad one in this baker's dozen of Duke stories. There were a few I thought could benefit by a longer than novella format; the romance seemed too rushed. All in all, it's a nice collection and a good read.

Read Grace Burrowes novella, The Duke and the April Flowers” as a separate edition in her Republished Regencies series available on her website.

I didn't like any of the stories, they were mostly insta-love, rushed endings, and boring, even Heather Snow's, whom was the reason I even picked up this ebook.

Duke and the April Flowers--Burrows
How to Ditch a Duke-McGoldrick
Duke in Search of a Duchess-Ashley
Dear Duke-Harrington
Must Love Duke-Snow

Burrowes' contribution was well worth the 99 cents I paid. I'll update my review if I make it through any of the others.
