With Lady Vivian Defies a Duke Samantha Grace, once more
proves that she has the writing talents to run with the big names like Quinn,
James and Jefferies. She has been on my auto buy list since the release of Miss
Hillary Schools a Scoundrel and continues to rise into a beloved personal
favorite author to read. I am waiting for a Samantha Grace book that I do not
enjoy. I have enjoyed each and every one of her book releases. Lady Vivian
Defies a Duke is no exception to this.
Lady Vivian Defies a Duke is a quick and sweet read. It is the
fourth book in Grace’s Beau Monde series, but it can be read on its own without
feeling lost. Lady Vivian is vivacious and strong willed; she has a spark of
life that sometimes is lacking in historical romance. Luke Forrest, the Duke of
Foxhaven; who wants to avoid the duties that come with the title, including his
betrothal to Lady Vivian. However the more he gets to know this charming lady
the more he begins to want her. Their path to happiness is one that is paved
with several pitfalls partially caused by Lady Vivian’s hoydenish ways. An old enemy of Luke’s also arrives on the
scenes attempting to put a wedge between the two love birds.
Lady Vivian Defies a Duke is a wonderful read. It is an
example of the very reason I fell in love with historical romance genre. The
characters are great, they are fresh and fun and the romance is sweet without
the new normal of page after page of steamy sex scenes. I would recommend Lady
Vivian and all of the previous four Beau Monde books to anyone who is looking
for that feel good historical romance.
