Only a Duke Will Do The School for Heiresses Book 2 Sabrina Jeffries 9781416516095 Books

I will admit I've had a soft spot for this couple since I read the Royal Brotherhood of Bastards series, so I had high expectations going into this one. I am happy to say I was not disappointed! I love that Foxmoor came back from India with a monkey! I love that he had changed just enough to allow for some personal growth but not enough to give up his ambitions, and I love that Louisa isn't afraid to put him in his place when he needs it. These two have a natural chemistry going on, and a kinship that makes them perfect partners for tackling the issues they take on (outside of their budding relationship).

I was a little disappointed in the ease with which Draker sat back and watched the courtship happen. Given how protective he was of his sister in his own book, I expected a bit more drama on that front, but to be honest, I think it worked that he didn't butt in too much. It left things in the hands of Foxmoor and Louisa and that made for one amazing romance story. :) An easy 5 stars for this one. Thoroughly enjoying this series.

Only a Duke Will Do The School for Heiresses Book 2 Sabrina Jeffries 9781416516095 Books Reviews

In the second book of Jeffries "School for Heiresses" the reader is re-introduced (TO PLEASURE A PRINCE part of Jeffries' "Royal Brotherhood" series) to Louisa North, illegitimate daughter of King George IV, as well as the man who'd broken her heart 7 years ago, Simon Tremaine, the new Duke of Foxmoor.

It's seven years later and Simon has returned from India where the king had banished him after Louisa discovered his affections towards her masked his aspirations for political gain. He's back and still politically ambitious but after his first sight of Louisa his passions are aroused even more so for the woman she's become. Summoned to an audience with the king, Simon is offered a deal he cannot refuse. If Simon can court and marry Louisa, who's been stirring up trouble as a member and founder of the London Ladies Society, the king would make it possible for Simon to achieve his greatest political desire - Prime Minister of England.

Louisa for all her new independence and charitable work for female prisoners; courting reformists to her cause; and secretly backing a candidate for the House of Commons; she was not totally immune to the attentions of the Duke of Foxmoor. Yes, Simon was a scoundrel for breaking her heart while using her for his ambitious political maneuvers, but his kiss still left her weak in the knees. While Simon knew it would only be a matter of time for him to bring her to the marriage bed, Louisa would be the one to finally bring him to his knees.

*** A long time fan of Sabrina Jeffries, I confess, I have not read a single book of hers I did not love! Bringing together a couple with bad history from an earlier story has been done before, but Jeffries brings them back with style incorporating sparkling dialogs and some very sensual trysts as they battle over both domestic and political issues.

Simon is a complex hero who isn't at all likeable when first introduced as he is shown bargaining with the king once again in an effort to reap political gain and rewards. If it weren't for having Raji, his pet monkey on his shoulder, I wouldn't have liked him at all. Little by little, he does become the hero when he starts to bend a bit while trying to worm his way into Louisa's good graces. As the author starts to weave in bits and pieces of Simon's tragic early youth of `training', beaten into him by his grandfather one starts see how he was molded into his attitude of political ambitions while making him stifle any and all feelings of passion. In some of his kind acts, used to break through Louisa's lack of trust, the reader begins to see bits and pieces of the man he could become if someone was brave enough to break through his defensive outer shell.

Having spent most of the last seven years in the royal court, Louisa had grown into an independent, accomplished woman after having her heart broken by Simon. She is intelligent and savvy, points very well defined by the author's excellent portrayal, and as such even though she knows Simon is not to be trusted, her heart is drawn as a moth to a flame. Willing to give him enough rope to hang himself, this more mature Louisa sees glimpses of the man she's always dreamed of and hopes he's become and gets caught in Simon's net, but was wise enough to demand concessions. Consequently she was devastated to discover once again his betrayal. Hurt beyond measure, Louisa would uncover truth's that motivated Simon, truth's that would set him free to live and love.

This truly was an engrossing story of redemption and sensual passion for Lousia and Simon - both wonderfully crafted and finally able to find the happiness they deserved. Not only does Jeffries titillate the reader with a passion filled romantic love story but she couples it with intricately woven human frailties making the characters leap off the pages into your hearts. I've said it before and I'll say it again Ms. Jeffries holds you from first page to the last with a perfect combination of wit, romance and intrigue.

Ultimately, I wound up enjoying this book. As other readers mention, the pace is a bit slow and the characters not easy to love until about halfway through the book. It turns out great in the end--the plot totally sucked me in and I wound up really caring about the characters and rooting for them to wind up happy togther.

A main reason I awarded only three stars, however, is that some of the quirks of this book are just TOO odd to be relatable. Specifically a couple of the love scenes--heroine gets gravely injured, hero fears she might die and sends for the doctor. Yet five seconds later they're going at it? Really? There were a couple of other instances that were peculiar like that, where I couldn't get into the romantic scene because I was so puzzled and disturbed by the circumstamces.

Overall, I did enjoy the book, and I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for entertaining page-turners. You'll have to decide for yourself if this one is fantastic or just okay.
This book kept my attention for the entire read. The hero wasn't mean or vindictive to the heroine and as this is a continuation from a previous book by Sabrina Jeffries it makes it easy to see why the heroine didn't trust the hero. I recommend reading the first book with these characters before reading this one as it will make more sense. That one is To Pleasure a Prince.
I LOVED THESE BOOKS....
I seriously cannot rave enough about SABRINA JEFFRIES books.
The first one is as good as the second,third, fourth as many as she has written ....LOL )
Any of her book's or series is just as interesting as the first one you begin reading .
Awesome, excellent reading... I would recommend any and all SABRINA JEFFRIES Books.
Once you read just one of her books ) you just wont want to ever stop ,
Sabrina Jeffries heroines are marvelous.

She never fails to entertain and charm her readers with unforgettable characters.
