Representaion Conducive To Books The Duke's Holiday (The Regency Romp Trilogy #1)

The Duke of Montford, cold, precise, and more powerful than the Prince Regent himself, wants things the way he wants them: cross-referenced, indexed, and at his beck and call. And he always gets what he wants.

Until he meets Astrid Honeywell. And a giant pig. And a crooked castle in the middle of Yorkshire.

Astrid Honeywell, staunch bluestocking, has struggled for years to keep her family together by running the estate and family brewery after her father's death. She is not about to let the tyrannical Duke of Montford steal away all she has worked for because of some antiquated contract between their families. So when the priggish Duke comes to call, she does everything in her power—including setting the family pig on him—to drive him away.

She didn't expect him to be so... well, infuriatingly attractive. Every time he scowls at her, she has the most improper desire to kiss him—and a whole lot more.

Montford can't decide whether to strangle Astrid or seduce her. The one thing he knows for a fact is that he must resist his powerful attraction for her at all costs. He has a very proper, very demure fiancée waiting for him back in London, after all. But when Astrid is kidnapped by a disgruntled suitor and whisked off to Gretna Green, Montford will do anything to get her back.

Will these two drive each other to Bedlam... or can they make it to the altar without killing each other?

Includes a fiery heroine, mistaken identities, errant livestock, pompadours, drunken declarations, a touch of smex, and enough witty banter to sink a ship.

NOTE: This is a sexy historical romance. Recommended for 18+ due to adult content.

Notice Regarding Books The Duke's Holiday (The Regency Romp Trilogy #1)

This was my "recommended read" for September's TBR Challenge entry. It's a very long review, so be warned! But many of my friends here really loved this book and I... didn't, so I felt compelled to go into detail about why it didn't work for me.As I was writing the review, I revised my grade, so I'm going with a D+/2.5 stars.The Duke's Holiday is a light-hearted romp (the cover even boasts that its part of the authors Regency Romp series just in case I hadnt realised) in which a very

A clear 4.5 stars.This was so much fun! No wonder it is called the Regency Romp series :)The hero, Cyril -he had several other funny, nerdy names- was a bit of an OCD poker-up-his-arse kind of duke (yes, a mofo-duke, Joanna!). He preferred to call himself Montford and was pretty shut down emotionally, mostly due to a very traumatic incident when he was four years old. Then he meets Astrid, who is basically his antithesis. She has been running an estate that should have reverted back to him after

Fantastic fun. Fenton knows exactly what she's about. There was such commitment to this story - the writing, the style, the characters. I ate it up. This kind of farcical style can be hit and miss, but I thought it was funny and clever. The characters were great - Montford and his need for control slowly unraveled by Astrid's unpredictability and intelligence. The book managed to keep its lighthearted tone whilst giving its two main characters believably angsty back stories, which is no mean



DNF @32%I hate to stop, but it wasnt turning around for me. I think I was put off by the very beginning, where the Duke hates his name Cyril Algenon ... It seemed too much of a modern sensibility. I would have understood if his name was common, like Joe or Bob, but it wasnt. I basically stopped when the dislike of his name became a relavent plot point with a horse named Cyril. It was just too much. I think it was trying to be too funny, or too many types of funny. Like the Three Stooges and the

The Duke of Montford likes everything to be neatly lined up. A place for everything and everything in it's place. The one blemish on his ordered ledger is a small unprofitable estate in Yorkshire. An estate which was swindled out of the family 100s of years earlier and will only return to him after the last male descendent of the swindlers, the Honeywell's shuffles off his mortal coil. When Montford discovers that the aforementioned Honeywell did in fact pass on many years earlier he immediately

A slapstick regency that annoyed rather than delighted. Unlike the best humorous Barbara Metzger regencies, the the attempted humor coyly and relentlessly aimed to enchant, but fell flat. Narration of the audiobook by Sue Pitkin was good, but not sufficient to make me care about the protagonists and their dilemmas.
