The Surprise Of Her Life
Sophisticated. Scandalous. In fact, Miss Sarah Hamilton, a proper Philadelphian, finds London society altogether shocking. How can it be that she has awakened from her innocent slumber to find herself in bed next to a handsome--and exceedingly naked--man? The laughing onlookers standing in the doorway are no help whatsoever and surely this amorous lunatic cannot be a duke, as he claims. She is compromised--though she most certainly will not marry him!
The Sweetest Moment Of His
James, the Duke of Alford, is enchanted by his unexpected bedmate--and not at all afraid of her pink-cheeked fury. True, the circumstances and place of their meeting are most unusual, but the spirited American who's pummeling him with a pillow is an incomparable beauty. If Sarah will only listen to his perfectly reasonable explanation, James is sure that he can capture her heart. . .forever.

This book was really a surprise and a good one for the most part. I have to admit that the title alone made me stop and take another look at the book information.
I enjoyed this book so much but I think it was mainly because of the main characters. They were so funny together when Sarah wasn't trying to run away from him or explain that they just wouldn't work as husband and wife. And their first meeting was a comedy of errors.
I will say that it wasn't all fun and games though because the dangers were real and the villain was beyond vile. Right here is the place where I mention that there is at least one attempted rape. I say that just in case this is a trigger for anyone. One particular scene towards the end of the book was kind rough to read.
There are some good secondary people in the story that includes, the friends of James. Charles and Robbie have know James for a long time and are really good friends. I see that Charles gets his own story in" The Naked Marquis (Naked Nobility Book 2)". I'd like to read that one too.
Lady Amanda is part of James household and gives spunky but often unwelcome comments. Makes for some interesting times.
The rumors about James and his nickname that his cousin the vile villain Richard put out really cause a lot of problems. Outrageous stories about his being called, The Monk, cause plenty of pain for Sarah and also James.
I also did find it odd that after what Sarah went through the end of the book that she recovered enough to be amorous towards James. Seems unlikely.
Plenty of action and murder attempts go on in this story until things get sorted out and James and Sarah get their H.E.A.
