How to Dance With a Duke by Manda Collins
Cecile Hurston is the bluestocking daughter of Lord Hurston, famous archeologist and explorer. Lucas Duke Winterston is the brother of Lord Hurstons secretary William, and there is a problem William is missing and Lord Hurston has had a stroke. This is what draws the H and H together. Where is Will and is Lord Hurston responsible for his disappearance and possible death? Where are the missing coded journals and the artifacts?
This had such promise and I am sorry that it didnt work for me. I wasnt bad, just a reheated story lacking in emotion and character development. This is a classic case of telling and not showing. Since there are 3 cousins it isnt a jump to say that there will be 2 books to follow. It is a good first effort and I wish Ms. Collins good luck. 2 stars
My thanks to the publishers and Net Galley for my review copy.
