#Review: DUKES BY THE DOZEN ANTHOLOGY by best-selling authors


  5 of 5 stars

I was so excited to see this anthology. There are so many authors that I enjoy reading. So far I've read THE DUKE AND APRIL FLOWERS by Grace Burrowes and  HER PERFECT DUKE by Ella Quinn. Both novellas were a joy to read. I look forward to reading the rest of the stories in this anthology.

THE DUKE AND APRIL FLOWERS
This story was so enjoyable. The Duke of Clonmere is being pressured to honor his late father's wish to marry one of Lord Falmouth's three daughters. Lord Falmouth is mean-spirited man who has never had a kind word for his eldest daughter, Lady Iris. He has not included her in the daughters he's presented to Clonmere. The story has interesting and sweet twists and, of course, a HEA. I loved this story and only wished it were longer.

HER PERFECT DUKE
In this story, we have another cruel father. Lord Somerset cares not a whit for any of his children and only sees them as a means to grab more land to add to the dukedom. He promises Lady Thalia to an older duke, but on the way, Thalia meets and falls in love with the Giles, the Duke of Kendal. It's no surprise to anyone that Somerset will tear the young lovers apart if he hears about it. This is an excellent story about the love between siblings and the lengths they will go to for Lady Thalia. The tension in this story is palpable up until the last page. I loved how all the issues were finally resolved.
