DESCRIPTION

Handsome widower. Shy spinster. Will he be the one to give her a first kiss?

Connor Fieldstone, the Duke of Lynton, renowned as a Silver Duke, has no intention of ever marrying again. One failed marriage is enough for him, but he readily admits his heathen children need to be brought under control, especially now that his dowager mother has invited a horde of eager debutantes, young diamonds of Society, to a house party at his Devon estate for the purpose of finding him a perfect match. Not going to happen. He merely wants a governess to mind his children. Unfortunately, his children have scared off the fourth one in as many months just as this party is about to start. What is he to do but turn to his bookish neighbor, Lady Eden Darrow, for help?

Eden has adored Connor ever since she was a child and he rescued her from a tumble into his fishpond. Now, the handsome widower is a Silver Duke, one of those sinfully gorgeous, forty-ish bachelors with a dash of silver in their hair. They are looked upon by Society as Greek gods, completely unattainable because of their determination never to marry—or remarry, on Connor’s part. When Connor pleads with her to help him out with his children in exchange for helping her find a suitable match, she accepts. What has she, a twenty-seven-year-old spinster who has never been kissed, to lose? What she does not expect is to suddenly become the belle of the party, drawing the avid attention of several potential suitors…and is it possible Connor is one of them? Will he be the one to give her a first kiss? She wants it to be a moonlight kiss. Is he willing to give her moonlight and more?

Moonlight and the Duke is a lighthearted Regency historical romance, the second in the Silver Duke series. Enjoy the read as these heroes who seem to have it all find the one thing that has eluded them throughout their lives…love.

REVIEW

Readers, you will love The Silver Dukes series! The first two books were so enjoyable that I am now anxiously waiting for another book to this series.
In Moonlight and the Duke, I fell in love with the Silver Duke, Connor Fieldstone, the Duke of Lynton character on page one. His children brought humor to the storyline because anyone with children knows that life can get crazy with all the different types of personalities. I think Author Meare Platt did a superb job of blending all the personalities to make the story interesting.

Lady Eden Darrow is bookish, intelligent and kind. What I also enjoy about her character is that she loves herself just as she is and is very comfortable in her life. Her intelligence is shown throughout the book, and it is rewarding to watch her confidence grow throughout the book.

The main theme from this story for me is finding your way to love… of family, friends and life. I loved reading this book drinking hot tea and snuggling into a fluffy blanket. Reading this book was a delightful way to spend my day.

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
