Editorial Review:
My dear sister Clara,
London society is so much more complicated than I could ever have known! Every night is a different ball or assembly, and a different swirl of glittering jewels and rustling gowns. Though I fear I am making social blunders left and right I am having some measure of success in my (or rather, Mother's) objective. Mother is beside herself with glee at the attentions I have been receiving from a few gentlemen she finds supremely suitable as husband material.
But my dearest sister, it is so hard for me to even look at any gentleman but a certain duke, who, if I may confess, makes my heart beat so that I fear it can be seen across a ballroom. He is James Langdon, the Duke of Wentworth, and though I may sound dramatic, he makes me feel as no man ever has before.
But I must push these feelings away. I sometimes hear whispers about his dark past, and he is quietly called the Dangerous Duke. Oh Clara! I am secretly overjoyed that he may love me, and at the same time terrified of his attentions. I have waited so long for my true love, and now I must resist him to protect my heart.
If only I knew how to proceed…
Your devoted sister,
Sophia

Rating:  - Good beginning....
I liked the beginning of this book - the characters were interesting and seemed complex - but then the book just stopped working. I found myself being pulled out of the book because the things the characters were doing and saying just didn't seem right. Yes, the hero and heroine are supposed to grow and change through the course of the novel, but not to the point that they're unrecognizable by the end, which was the case with James, the hero of the novel. And don't get me started on the rest of ... Read More
Rating: - Average
This book was just a ok read for me. The heroine was a little too perfect in every way, and the hero was just cruel most of the time and then nice and then cruel again it got a little tedious at times, but overall it was ok. I did not feel alot of sexual tension, or a real compelling love story in the book but not all reads can be true treasures. The other characters in the book were alittle one-dimensional for me and the heros excuse for not wanting to love - ? I would have hoped the author would ... Read More
Rating:  - Really intense love story!
This is the second time I read To Marry A Duke - since I just finished the book on Lily I wanted to revisit James & Sophia. My first impressions were not as favorable as they were this time. I remember thinking James was unusually cruel to Sophia and while he was a tad unfeeling after they returned from their honeymoon he was not nearly as bad as I thought. James is so tortured by his family history, mostly his father was such a cruel heartless man, who actually was abusive. James was just to fearful ... Read More
Rating: - This is What Romance Is All About...
This is the first novel by Julianne MacLean I have read. I really enjoyed the book "To Marry The Duke". I didn't know what to expect with this new author as she has a limited history - only 2 or 3 contemporary novels before this one. Fortunately, I was really pleased once I was done with the story. I wanted to give 5 stars but, I really try to hold off and only give that many stars to the absolute best stories I have ever read (that's probably 25 books out of thousands I have read over the years). I want ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful! Excellent!! Gripping!!!
To Marry the Duke is sharp and fast-moving. Our heroine is tough and tender all at the same time. Our hero is just how a hero should be. Dark, handsome, with just a touch of insecurity which makes him real. The book is an very enjoyable, well-written romance with an appealing heroine and unusual hero. From page one the characters in this charming book reached out and grabbed me. Page after page I just got sucked in deeper until I closed the book with a happy sigh. I love seeing the hero change his ways and ... Read More
