Wow awesome book! I loved both Stone and Huxley! I would not have been able to choose between the two. The chemistry was hot and I enjoyed the mystery as well!

It was a decent story. I was given the thrills and chills but found myself wanting more. I'm not sure if it was me or the story that was lacking the heart for the book.

This book is, at a glance, is exactly what you think it would be. It's all about sex. There really wasn't much more than a plot- other than the characters getting it on. I liked the story but I wish there would have been as much going on outside the bedroom as there was going on inside it.
If you are looking for a good erotica book than this is the perfect book for you! Overall, I enjoyed the story.

This is a ménage story. The two Dukes Stone and Huxley were supposed to be enemies. They were always fighting but in truth they were the best of friends. They shared everything even their women. This book contains a lot of sex. There are many graphic scenes with the three of them.

This was a solid Novella. I thought it was going to be a full novel. Being that is was not the story moved very quickly, but I felt like the characters were not really fleshed out. The “mystery” aspect of this story just really didn’t grab my attention. Over all I enjoyed the story I just wish it had been longer so that the plot & characters could have been more developed.

This is a very hot , active And sexual book the first of this genre for me.A definite eye opener
However that’s not to say that it wasn’t good , the story and the writing were very good and it does keep you turning the pages.
The characters had depth and the different personalities all jelled really well .
There is no violence in this book, and the sex scenes were written tastefully. All in all I quite enjoyed the trip and would think about reading another from this author

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and chose to submit a review

The story was a fun, quick read, but it had potential to be developed further, with more depth. I really liked Lady Sophia Hodges, as she is somewhat quirky with a unique personality and I enjoyed the character's sense of humor/wit. The only problem I had with this book was I wanted more...more time to get to know the characters/intro, more time for the plot to develop, more mysticism, and more of what happens in the end.

I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Talk about erotic storytelling! Sophia buys a book that she thinks is based on religion, then discovers that it's actually a very erotic story. Being a virgin, she doesn't understand all that she reads. After bumping into Cromwell Stone at a party, and letting it slip out about the book, he convinces her to tell him a little about it. Although for the life of me, I can't understand why she would trust him enough to confide this secret. After hearing about the erotic adventures in the story, he realizes that she may be the perfect companion to him and his best friend/enemy, Huxley. Add into the mix a little tarot card reading, and spirits. I enjoyed the love, hate relationship between the two men. Sophia falls for the two men, and thus begins the smoking hot, seduction. Although I felt the end was a little rushed, and could have been explored more, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Looking forward to more from this author.

I received a copy from NetGalley; this is my honest review.
Short erotic menage.
There is nothing to suggest the story is either Victorian nor historical.
Fun read with a bit of paranormal and mystery.
Great sex scenes.
Don't miss out! Buy the book.

Two Dukes are Better Than One by Lorna James.
This is the story of Cromwell Stone, Huxley Brigmore and Sophia Hodges.
Sophia likes to read Tara Cards and Tea Leaves and what she sees is a passionate future. But her father has gambling issue and he means to marry her off. Sophia has a crush on Huxley but her father plans to marry her off to Stone. But little does she know that Stoen and Brigmore are not enemies at all but are the 'best' of friends.
This was a really hot Historical Romance...something you don't see to often.

This was an interesting read. I haven't read a lot of historical lately. I did get a bit frustrated with them not communicating well with her before the marriage. She was clearly a well read person, and they left her feeling horrible about herself. It all worked out in the end for them of course.
You can sort of figure out the bad guy, but the twist was good. I liked how it all got sorted out in the end.

Fantastic read. I could not put it down. This is my first book by Lorna James but it will not be my last. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

Pretty good. We don't really carry a lot of erotica at our library, which is why I said we probably wouldn't purchase it, but this one was fine. The ending was a bit rushed, but the characters developed well.

From Page 1 of this story, you are drawn into perspective of the quiet, quirky, other-worldly Sophia. Marginalized by her peers for claiming a meager skill at reading Tarot cards, Sophia is "nearing spinsterhood" and, though in love, despairs that she will ever have the happy match she wants. The story follows Sophia, armed with a seemingly-innocent book that has started her on a path of debauchery and, ultimately, a fulfilling relationship the likes of which she never knew was possible.

Though this story is about a kind of relationship that I don't personally ascribe to, I found myself liking the characters very much and being happy for their happiness. The romance of this book was off-the-charts in terms of quality and quantity.

What I was missing from this story was more depth to the mystery following the main trio, however. The culmination of the threat to their reputations and relationships was so quick and dry that I almost feel the book would have been better without it. The story line of the three main characters learning how to make their relationships work would have been good enough on its own.

This historical fiction book is filled with friendship, romance, and steamy sex. Sophia is curious young women who is seeking adventure. Her sexual adventurous side is encouraged by two enemies, Huxley and Stone, These two sexy Dukes both love Sophia and want her to love them back. This story will have you turning the pages to see if love conquers all.

This book is set in an old setting making it that much more scandalous to read. She goes from being shy and not underatanding much of anything to an adventerous being with a love for 2 men. I love the mystery thrown into the mix too.

This was a good romance. I thought it was a fun read and I liked that it was a historical romance. Too short though!

This is a fast-paced steamy historical read. Stone and Huxley are supposed to be enemies but the truth is the are best friends. Sophia’s father has gambled away their lively hood and he arrangers a marriage between her and Stone unfortunately she is in love with Huxley his supposed enemy. What will happen when she learns the truth and what they have planned for her. This read is fun with a great story line and steamy sex. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!
