This book is an exact copy of the book by Julia Quinn titled, "Mr. Cavendish, I Presume" I thought the "lost Duke" book would be a sequel to the "Mr. Cavendish" book. Book the books have identical chapters. There are a few chapters that are different where she is adding the specific details to the Duke's life or to Mr. Cavendish's life. Otherwise, I felt this was a rip off book because these extra chapters could have been included to create one book. When I ordered The Lost Duke I thought the book would take up where Mr. Cavendish left off and describe how the new Duke was handling his new titled position and how his hiwayman ways could have caught up to him. Therefore, when I realized I was reading copied chapters from Mr. Cavendish I was highly disappointed. It took only 2 hours to read the whole book skipping duplicate chapters. If you had to choose which one to read, Mr. Cavendish is the better and somewhat of a fun read. But don't buy Lost Duke go to the library and sit a few hours and skim the book for the new chapters to read. And it was a rather boring book since you knew the ending of the book before you read it!!!! The endings were the same endings...in both books.
