This series is still going on but includes:

1. My Darling Duke
2. Her Wicked Marquess
3. A Scoundrel Of Her Own

My favorite book is My Darling Duke 😁 Might reread it 😋😉☺️ Originally read via audiobook, but heard it’s better as a ebook (can’t read it physical). Read My Darling Duke pre-blog, all via audio (at that time not reading with my eyes 👀 yet)

Read 👆🏼Her Wicked Marquss

https://listenwirhprecious.com/2021/03/21/my-1st-read-along/

A Scoundrel Of Her Own is the newest addition and was kindly offered to me ♥️ That’s never happened before! The gesture was very kind 😁 But, seeing as I read mostly via kindle or audiobook, I wanted to save it for someone else. 😉 But noticed, yesterday, I preordered it on my kindle but I forgot 🤦🏼‍♀️Excited to have it!

Just read 👇🏼
