Book Review: I'll Dare Him
Summary: 5 Stars
Never Dare A Duke by Gayle Callen is a delicious sweet to be enjoyed whenever a good book is needed. A wonderful Regency period piece that will make you lick your lips in anticipation. A spunky heroine and an overly cautious hero make for a delightful game of romance unbridled.
Abigail is not your average girl of this time period. She is pretty but not too pretty, a bigger than average girl and does not want marriage at all. To her, marriage is a stifling curse worse than death. She does not want any man to be able to control her and she is bound and determined to make a place in society for herself but as part of the working class. She longs to be a writer in the worst way for her father's newspaper but can she find the precise article that will show her the stairway to her dreams and save her father's newspaper company at the same time?
Christopher is a Duke. A tall, dark and handsome man is the understatement of the year where he is concerned. His family's is of the opinion that he takes his position too seriously which proves to be more fact than fiction. He is overly protective of his private life, does not like or care what society has to say or think and prefers his time away from the Ton and all of it's rules and gossip. Oh, and did I say he is the most desired bachelor of the day! Hmm...how could I have left that fact out.
This story is quite comical with our heroine Abigail making a pact with our hero Christopher to help him with a couple of ladies who are like bloodhounds on the scent of the a prized piece of meat. They say "The Thrill Is In The Chase" and oh my how true that is in this delicious novel. Christopher is really in a run for the money with ladies who know that persistence pays off nicely. Or does it?
What starts out so innocently with Abigail and Christopher very quickly gets complicated. Trust turns into deception and lies. Maidenly virtues turn into carnal hunger and then all Hell breaks loose giving us a page turner that will delight your appetite.
Our author has given us a treat sure to be savored long after we finish. She plays our characters for all they are worth and you can't help but get sucked into each and every scene as if it is playing out right before your eyes. A novel that you will surely giggle with, hunger over, gasp at and make you glad that we the women of today are so much stronger and less likely pull someones hair out if they should cross our path the wrong way.
