The first of three dashing, daring, and utterly unforgettable dukes takes the stage in The Duke’s Captive—book one in an enthralling new historical romance series from USA Today bestseller and Rita Award winner Adele Ashworth.  An author whose novels have been called, “exquisitely written and brimming with emotion” by the inimitable Julia Quinn, Adele Ashworth enchants again with the breathtaking story of a duke’s revenge undone by the power of passionate love.

    Overall, it wasn’t bad, but MAN are there weird, uncomfortable sexual themes here. Rape is a major element of the story - the guy was drugged and doesn’t remember/ couldn’t have consented to sex, and his revenge includes the threats of violence and rape. I GET that a lot of regency romances paddle around in murky waters because of the gender politics of the time, but this one just made me feel icky. Overall well-written - the plot moves along quickly and the heroine is sufficiently plucky. The sex scenes were hot, but their context was troubling. Basically, you should know what you’re getting into.

    I actually didn't think the dialogue was cheesy at all! It was a good book, with mature characters and I couldn't put it down.
