I found this book to be quite unique and very, very good. However, the author decided to take these characters and therefor, the readers into a situation that seriously ruined my enjoyment of this read and I'm sure it will be an issue for many other readers also. To start, I found this book refreshing. A historical romance, with a BDSM edge and a submissive hero in a hetero setting is not that common, especially in a full length read, fleshed out with an interesting storyline and compelling characters. I liked the characters and thought they were complex. I enjoyed their growing relationship from the small spark of attraction, to the deeper feeling that grew out of what was supposed to be a simple arrangement. I loved their chemistry and the emotional and romantic connection between them. But, then that moment happened and it unfortunately changed how I looked at the characters. I will not go into details, but this is something that is either ok or not with each individual reader and even saying that, what occurs in this book is open to every reader's own interpretation. I myself am not a huge fan when this happens in books, but if it is not a surprise, I can get past it. Unfortunately I wasn't expecting it. So for me it was a betrayal to the heroine and also to the reader. A successful BDSM relationship must be open, honest and built on trust. Break that trust and the relationship is doomed to failure. I am sad beyond words that such a promising read ended so badly.

This was an unexpected story with a topic I have not read. But with this being the first book by this author I thought I would go ahead and finish once I started. Archer, the Duke of Westmead has overcome a lot and become a wealthy investor in London. Needing to marry and have a heir, he really wants to keep his secrets and deep scarred heart well hidden. Poppy Cavendish is a botanist who is know for garden designs but needs funds to expand her nursery business. When Poppy takes a commission to decorate a lavish garden setting for the ball of Archer's sister, she ends up staying with them until she can get the project finished. As she and Archer interact, there is a great attraction but Archer is has such low self esteem, he is convinced Poppy would not care for him and his secrets. But you can never overestimate the power of love and these two have an interesting journey getting there.

This is an interesting romance in two parts. To start, it’s an unconventional romance between a duke and a gardener. (I loved that the heroine was a businesswoman and this was both encouraged and deconstructed).Then, a matchmaking sister does a thoughtless thing in the name of romance (which rather neatly turns the matchmaking trope on its head). Thanks to her, the book veers into a marriage of convenience, with both of them hiding their hearts because they know the other doesn’t feel the same.

It’s a rollercoaster of a ride as problems and miscommunications hinder their way to happily ever after. The heart of their communication problems is a secret BDSM club in the heart of London and the magnitude of this secret meant it never felt forced. I do think the Duke’s use of this club veered perilously close to cheating, which made me uncomfortable.

Overall, this is a romance for someone who wants to see something a little different, but heads up for the near-cheating.

A historical romance with an interesting premise, The Duke I Tempted follows two rather unique leads readers typically don’t see in this genre. That being said, they might not be everyone’s cup of tea. While his grief is understandable, the hero’s extended self punishment can become tedious and his submissive tendencies off putting for readers. Even from the synopsis, there are obvious signs of BDSM in this story which, while fitting in well in the story, may ruin the novel for some readers.


That being said, the heroine is rather fascinating and their interactions make the story. It is easy to become swept up in their romance and invested in their story. Their chemistry is blatant and undeniable as they fit together well with each other. Their HEA is long awaited and wanted, but an event later in the novel may not only leave a bad taste in the reader’s mouth but cast a black cloud over the ending as well.


The best advice to this book is to enter with an open mind. This is not a light fluffy read but wrought with depth and emotion.

The Duke I Tempted is the first book in Scarlett Peckham’s new series "Secrets of Charlotte Street" series. The series explores the dark side of desire with alpha heroines. I was glued to the pages from the first chapter to the end. Archer Stonewall the Duke of Westmead and is in need of a wife. Elizabeth Cavendish aka Poppy)is a determined spinster whose plans does not include children but plants and trees This is definitely not your average Cinderella story. Well written and well excuted. Engaging and somewhat charming characters. The storyline is unpredictable and unique. I enjoyed this tale of angst and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Be aware it is a very steamy read! I was impressed with this author's debut book, enjoyed her writing style, her plot and her descriptive skills. A great read for fans of hot, angst filled Regency Romance.

Rating: 4
Heat rating: hot

The book was beautifully written and I think Scarlett Peckham is an author I will watch.

However, I found the ending to be rushed, especially in terms of the exploration of Archer's sexual needs. I think that entire plot line needed some more time to develop. I am not entirely sure I understood how Archer's need to be whipped until he is bleeding and raw turn into a fun sexy thing he can do with his wife? Archer, according to the author, is essentially self-medicating with masochism, and that is not going to be something his wife can magically fix. When I think about it, there is much about the development of that plot I find troubling.

I gave this an A at All About Romance.

As we all know, début novels are notoriously hit-or-miss, so I’m delighted to tell you The Duke I Tempted fits squarely in the ‘hit’ column. Deeply moving, tender, and romantic, this is the first novel in Scarlett Peckham’s Secrets of Charlotte Street series. Charlotte Street is home to an exclusive, secret club where – if they’re willing to sign a confession of membership, and can afford the exorbitant membership fees – the crème de la crème of English society can go to indulge their secret erotic desires and fantasies.

Poplar – Poppy – Cavendish is an ambitious, self-taught botanist, determined to prove herself as a businesswoman. Orphaned as a young girl and sent to live with her Uncle Charles at his Bantham Park estate, she’s painstakingly built up her exotic nursery business, soliciting specimens from the farthest corners of the world. When Charles dies, she expects to inherit his personal fortune. Only, there isn’t one. Instead, she’s inherited Greenwoods cottage, the only part of the estate not entailed. With a new heir scheduled to take possession of Bantham Park in two weeks, she needs to move her entire nursery to Greenwoods two miles away – but with little money to hire help, and most of the local labor otherwise engaged anyway, Poppy is quietly desperate but determined to persevere.

When Archer Stonewell, the Duke of Westmead, and his sister, Lady Constance, unexpectedly show up in Poppy’s greenhouse, she’s startled and annoyed by their unexpected visit. Lady Constance has been in Wiltshire overseeing the renovation of Westhaven, the family estate left empty following a devastating fire thirteen years ago, and she’s the reason no laborers are available for hire to help Poppy. She also has plans for a spectacular ball when the work is done, and Poppy has repeatedly refused her requests to take on a floral design commission for it. She politely, yet firmly, declines again – explaining she’s already otherwise engaged, and that hers is a nursery, and not a floral society. Westhaven, a successful businessman and investor, listens to the exchange, and then smugly suggests a wise businesswoman would negotiate a solution to the impasse. His condescension irks her, but by the end of the visit, Poppy has a steward and workers to transport the nursery, and the promise of enough money to fund her business for the foreseeable future, in exchange for her design services.

As preparations for the ball get underway, Poppy and Archer (as he insists she call him) fight their mutual attraction (a losing battle). For Poppy, the feelings of longing and desire are new – and frustrating. Inadvertently finding a worn book of illicit illustrations hidden amongst the pages of a botany book in Archer’s study, she can’t help peeking inside. The book is scandalous, and Poppy is aroused – especially by the images depicting a man submitting to his (female) partner – and can’t help imagining herself and Archer in the same poses. Archer’s imagination is conjuring up its own erotic pictures… whenever he lets his guard down. Try as he might, he can’t seem to control his reactions to Poppy, but he simply can’t allow his admiration for her deter him from his purpose – finding a wife and begetting an heir. His marriage will be a business transaction only – he doesn’t want any emotional attachments.

Poppy and Archer have a VERY hard time keeping their hands off each other, and ultimately, their erotic interludes leave Poppy confused and hurt. Archer is passionate and open… until he retreats and turns into a remote and detached stranger. Shortly before he plans to return to London, they reconcile and part as friends, but when rumors surface that insinuate there’s more to their relationship than just business, Poppy faces ruin, and as Archer needs a wife and heir, he proposes they marry. Poppy declines initially, but when Archer makes it plain that their marriage will be a business arrangement, she changes her mind and – against her better judgement – accepts.

The Duke I Tempted is a bit tricky to review because I don’t want to tell you about the tragedy in Archer’s past, and how it – and his guilt over it – completely informs how he relates to Poppy and explains why he is the way he is. He ruthlessly represses all emotion in business and in his personal life, and when he can’t, he visits Charlotte Street. There, on his knees submitting, he’s able to channel all those wayward emotions and feelings and focus instead on the pain – emerging cleansed, whole… and in control.
-----
The more he shaped himself into a man who would not fail again, the more vital the release became. He no longer craved the pain itself so much as the abandonment, the feeling of her power over him, the floor beneath his fingers. What had begun as penance had become a sacrament. He was grateful for it. It had saved him. It had taught him who he was.
-----
Poppy, who knows nothing about Charlotte Street or her husband’s submissive desires, is bewildered by their ‘business arrangement.’ Archer is eager to consummate the marriage and quick to introduce her to the joy and exhilaration of sex. The first twenty-four – idyllic – hours of their marriage are mostly spent naked, in each other’s arms, but when Poppy expresses curiosity about the scars on Archer’s back (some still healing), he shuts down and castigates her for wanting more from him than they agreed he would give.
------
He did not wish to imagine what his country nurserywoman, with her scent of grass and dewy skin and twenty-five years of self-discipline and moral rectitude would make of a man who sometimes longed to tremble on his knees. What was solace to him was to the greater world perversion.
------
Hurt and proud, Poppy gives as good as she gets – sex for the purpose of procreation and nothing else.

Archer delivers on all his professional promises, and Poppy’s nursery business flourishes. But along the way, Poppy has fallen in love with her husband and despairs of their joyless union. It’s clear he wants and desires her, but she can’t understand why he insists on keeping her at a distance other than when they’re in bed. She suspects there are things he isn’t telling her, but he steadfastly refuses all of her attempts at emotional connection. Poppy has suspicions about the secret he’s keeping, and implores him to trust her with the truth, but Archer fears losing her if he confesses his secret desires.

I love a steamy historical, and I very much enjoyed the BDSM elements here, but I realize it’s not for everyone. There are very few actual D/s scenes, and those that appear are meaningful and essential to the story. In The Duke I Tempted, our alpha heroine is unconventional, ferociously independent, ambitious and talented; her hero is a handsome, charming, smart and savvy businessman whose past heartbreak has led him to suppress and repress his emotions. The alliance is unexpected, fascinating and a refreshing departure from typical Regency romances, and I never wanted The Duke I Tempted to end.

Definitely not your typical Georgian/Regency romance. And yet, it is. The one surprising component, BDSM, is handled in such a way that it in no way retracts from the beautiful love story - this is not 50 Shades of 1753. Despite my initial hesitance to read this book upon learning about it's sexual "taboo", I enjoyed it so much that I'll be on the look out for the next in the Charlotte Street series when it arrives.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I really liked this book. It was well thought out, and the plotting and pacing was done perfectly. It is a historical BDSM romance that I felt was portrayed quite well for that particular time period. The romance that started out as friendship which progressed to something more for both Poppy and Archer was both sweet and poignant because of Archer’s double life. There isn’t enough words to actually describe how great this book is and how wonderful the characters of Poppy and Archer are, definitely a must read for historical romance lovers.

Sunday is typically laundry and small chores day. I started this book this morning. I just finished it. I accomplished NOTHING all day except reading this book. It was that good. I truly didn't want to put it down once I started. Hubby is lucky he got dinner.

I love historical romances, and I like erotica. Nothing better than historical erotica! And no, it's not pornography.....it's simply romance with erotic elements. The main focus here was the emotional relationship between Poppy and Archer. I simply adored Archer, he of the tortured soul and heartbreaking past. Poppy was a strong heroine, a single woman owning a nursery and working hard during a time when a woman's worth was pretty much based on to whom she was married. Like Archer, her past was no walk in the park, either.

Archer's sister convinces him it is time to marry and produce an heir. He has no desire to do so and because of his past, decides to pick a woman he could never love. Poppy is hired to elaborately decorate Asher's home for a ball. Neither is immune to the other; however, they both try to fight the pull between them. Something occurs which ruins Poppy. Archer can't let that happen. Thus begins a relationship between two very stubborn people, with one hiding a big secret.

The passion is very real between Poppy and Archer, but both keep trying to protect themselves. You so want things to work out for them. You also want to kick them in their butts and force some sense, and honesty, into both. Stick with them. It's definitely worth the tears and heartbreak to follow them to the conclusion. I hope to see many more books in this series. I was so captivated by this book.....especially by my man Archer.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

This book was absolutely unexpectedly AWESOME!!!! Fantastic historical romance with wonderful characters, addicting storyline.... a teeny tiny spot of what would be considered a bdsm, but so small I would not and that tag to this book. I am enthralled by this and anxiously look for more from this author and especially in this series.

Publisher's Description:

He’s controlled. Meticulous. Immaculate. No one would expect the proper Duke of Westmead to be a member of London’s most illicit secret club. Least of all: his future wife.

Having overcome financial ruin and redeemed his family name to become the most legendary investor in London, the Duke of Westmead needs to secure his holdings by producing an heir. Which means he must find a wife who won’t discover his secret craving to spend his nights on his knees – or make demands on his long scarred-over heart.

Poppy Cavendish is not that type of woman. An ambitious self-taught botanist designing the garden ballroom in which Westmead plans to woo a bride, Poppy has struggled against convention all her life to secure her hard-won independence. She wants the capital to expand her exotic nursery business – not a husband.

But there is something so compelling about Westmead, with his starchy bearing and impossibly kind eyes -- that when an accidental scandal makes marriage to the duke the only means to save her nursery, Poppy worries she wants more than the title he is offering. The arrangement is meant to be just business. A greenhouse for an heir. But Poppy yearns to unravel her husband’s secrets – and to tempt the duke to risk his heart.

My Thoughts:

This new to me author has produced a tales with so many twists and turns that there is a new discovery around every corner.
Our heroine prefers to make her own way and never intends to marry, but along comes the proper Duke of Westmead, Archer with his secret proclivity for bondage. He doesn't just want to be dominated but owns part of the club that allows him to practice this secret.
Poppy prefers her plants to most everything else and is very surprised to find herself falling in love with this secretive and seemingly controlled man.
Will their mutual need to keep the truth away from each other be the end to their marriage of convenience?
Will the discovery of those truths be what ends it all?
I gave this well written book 4.25 of 5.0 stars for storyline and character development and a sensual rating of 3.75 of 5.0 flames. The intimacy between our pair is surprising to all concerned. If it contained more of the bondage factor I can honestly say I would not have finished this book but as it was a very discreet factor in this story I couldn't put it down once I started it.
I received a complimentary digital ARC of this title to read and review. This in no way affected my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

I have never read a romance so reluctant to give up its secrets. Everyone is suffering and trying to hide it, from themselves as much as from the reader. And the few who aren’t suffering are up to something. It makes for a somewhat stony beginning—but as soon as one crack appears in the façade, the book becomes irresistible, like watching a ghost-riddled manor catch fire and burn to ash. You fly through the pages as the clock strikes ten, eleven, midnight—and then the book rips away the veil and you whisper *holy shit* against the darkness.
There was once a flourishing Gothic branch of romance, where women with voluminous nightgowns and voluminous hair fled sinister houses and sinister men by moonlight. Battered paperbacks embossed with names like Victoria Holt and V. C. Andrews were passed around from friend to friend, lurked briefly on the shelves of used bookstores, and then vanished seemingly into the ether. Then all at once the Gothic trend withered on the vine. Nobody quite knows why, and scholars who wish to study this question have trouble tracking down copies. The details of these half-remembered tales glimmer gemlike in memory: a secret room with a dead wife’s corpse locked inside, a peacock feather fan whose ribs are tipped with poison, an unlucky Australian opal that decimates an equally unlucky family. I devoured these books by the bagful, and none of the brooding vampires or burly werewolves of modern paranormal romance can pose a threat half as viscerally terrifying as *They say he killed his first wife and now he’s asking me to marry him*.
Oh, they’ll tell you this Scarlett Peckham novel is femdom, and it is—once it gets around to it—but in the excitement about that underexplored trope they won’t tell you about all the rest: the fire, the *other* fire, the secret marriage, the opium, the ballroom that becomes a forest, the iron key our hero wears around his neck, the child with a shock of white-gold hair who bears an uncanny resemblance to another child long dead. It was bone-chillingly spooky and when I wasn’t reading I was laughing with sheer delight.
Gothic romances are tempestuous by definition, but this one is dramatic even by those heightened standards: Archer and Poppy each say and do several things in the course of their marriage that would be *unforgivable* in a less turbulent book. We’re talking Heathcliff and Cathy levels of mutual desire and damage. If you want characters whose emotional compasses you trust not to lead them too far astray into frank rage and despair, well, you’re going to want to give this a miss. But if you want something to speed your heart and stop your breath as you read beneath the covers, with only the meager flashlight beam warding off the enveloping night—then you have a rare treat in store. Enjoy.

The Duke I Tempted was a good story and I mostly enjoyed the book, although I felt like certain things were dragged on for a little too long. Archer Stonewell has certain preferences that he intends to keep entirely private and separate from any relationship he embarks upon. He is fully intending to marry, but into a marriage of convenience in which no emotions are involved. Archer finds freedom and a certain type of peace being at the receiving end of a whip and he indulges his needs by visiting an establishment that caters specifically to those with these interests. He has been a patron for the past ten years or so, even going so far as to invest in the business. Although Archer has made an effort to maintain a stern, aloof, and unemotional façade, in reality he feels very strongly and his proclivities are a result of a major emotional event and have helped him cope.

He becomes involved and captivated by independent, spinster, botanist Poppy Cavendish when she is hired on by his interfering sister to help design some floral arrangements for Archer’s upcoming bride-search ball at his estate, of which Poppy is a neighbor. Archer is very attracted to Poppy, both physically and to her independence and ambition. He tries hard to fight his attraction to Poppy, and in the process hurts her very much. She finds that she cannot resist him and tries to rein in her emotions around him, believing the lies he tells her in order to keep her away and prevent an emotional entanglement. My main issue with the story lies precisely in this very issue…Archer tries for too long to fight his feelings for Poppy, and when she also becomes emotionally distant as a defense, he cannot deal well with her emotional distance and rejection.

Archer resists the entire novel in visiting the establishment, although at certain emotional moments he strongly considers going back, but finds he does not want to…until late in the book, a pretty big fight has him going back to his old patterns. He has resisted and fought at every chance in revealing his preferences to Poppy for fear of her disgust, despite certain instances in which Poppy displayed a potential interest. But she ends up finding him at the establishment and is intrigued, but saddened to find that he was finding a great deal of pleasure in the activities. This particular scene gave me some pause in how quickly it was resolved…she finds that he is aroused by the activities when she finds him being whipped, but it is never discussed between the two if he has been coming to the establishment the entire time they have been involved, if this is the first time since they got together, if he was intending on doing anything other than being whipped and punished...the reader pretty much knows the answers, but Poppy does not and could not know, but she never really bothers to ask or find out, and Archer does not reassure her. Instead Poppy finds that she would very much like to participate and learn how to indulge with Archer, even going so far as to asking for private lessons from Archer’s “Mistress Elena.” Now, he never sleeps with her only goes to her to be “punished." It didn’t sit quite right with me that after resisting and not wanting to go to the old establishment, Archer did at such a late point in the book and would have likely kept going if he was not caught red-handed by Poppy.

The resolution after this was too easy and not verbalized. From that point, some 90% into the story, Archer and Poppy begin to practice together, and both find a great deal of enjoyment. Overall the story was good and kept my interest, but Archer hid such a major part of his lifestyle and pleasures from Poppy and their mutual exploration in his interests was only kind of touched upon at the end of the novel, it seemed like it was going to play a far bigger part of the story but ended up not doing so, although it certainly felt like it should have.

I received an ARC of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. The Duke I Tempted is the first book in Scarlett Peckham’s new series Secrets of Charlotte Street. The series is meant explore the dark side of desire with alpha heroines and this first book is seriously hot. I was captured from the first paragraph and and probably would have read right through without putting it down at all ... but work and children and pets all conspired to interfere with that plan. Archer Stonewall the very contained Duke of Westmead has need of a wife He is looking for one that will agree to produce the required heir but will still let him keep his secrets and his heart safe. Poplar Elizabeth Cavendish (Poppy) is a determined spinster whose nursery plans include plants and trees and not children. They meet when Archer’s sister Constance hires Poppy to decorate the ballroom for the grand ball at which she has invited the candidates from which Archer will chose his bride. This is definitely not your average Cinderella story. I enjoyed every minute of this angst filled tale and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Very Steamy. Publishing Date July 31, 2018 #NetGalley #TheDukeITempted

I've not been a big reader of romance in the past, as I tend to find the stories silly and the characters shallow, so U was delighted to find thus novel realitic, with strong, complex characters and a well developed plot. I highly recommend for fans of the genre, and non-romance readers will be pleasantly surprised.

This was an unexpectedly strange read. A historical that took its history seriously, but that also included a strong BDSM/erotic thread, a combination that you don't find very often. But in spite of (perhaps because of?) its unexpectedness, there was something deeply winning about Peckham's debut historical romance.

Poppy Cavendish, granddaughter to a viscount, is about to lose her beloved greenhouse, and all the plants she's been cultivating therein, after the death of her guardian, her unconventional beloved uncle. But when her neighbor, the sister of the Duke of Westmead, offers her a commission to decorate a ballroom with her blossoms, and throws in help moving her plants as part of her payment, Poppy agrees, despite having to spend time with the brusque duke.

For his part, the duke, Archer, is plagued by guilt over the death of his wife and child (said wife turns out to have been (view spoiler).) And he relieves his guilt by being whipped in a private sex house in London. Neither he nor Poppy wishes to marry, although Archer realizes he must if he wishes to carry on his line. He decides to hold a party where he will search out a lady who "saw him as a title and a bank vault. The kind of wife who would, when afforded certain enviable comforts, bear him an heir and not expect him to take more than a strictly legal interest in the proceedings. The kind of woman who would not require an investment of emotion he was not equipped to give" (Kindle Loc 364).

But Archer and Poppy are attracted to one another, and Archer decides to propose to her, rather than to any of the more appropriate women he might woo, framing the proposal as strictly business: she will provide him with an heir, and he will give her the money to set up a major plant importing business. She should not expect him to give her love or affection in return. To her surprise, though their early married days are tender and affectionate. So when Archer inevitably pulls away, Polly is hurt, and unhappy.

I enjoyed Peckham's deft character development, and the clear affection both Polly and Archer slowly develop for one another. Her writing is strong, too: take this bit, from late in the story, "She had thought, as a younger woman, that she was her best self alone. That she was meant to inhale solitude and turn it into energy, like a plant. She had confused solitude with happiness. She was not a plant. She missed her husband. If she was not mistaken, he missed her too." (3280)

I wasn't as keen on having such a traumatic incident be the root of Archer's kinkiness, even if by book's end he isn't magically cured of his predilections by the love of a good woman. And I can definitely understand why some readers find the Black Moment scene a scene of unforgivable cheating and betrayal. But it did make a welcome change to have a submissive hero in a historical, another uncommon occurrence.

I'll definitely be reaching for the next book in the Charlotte Street series.

This is the first book in the Charlotte Street series and I it is a great start. I loved Poppy and Archer and the unconventional marriage agreement they made but neither was able to keep from falling in love with each other. Archer has a dark secret and Poppy feels like she is on the outside looking in but after several revelations and discoveries they will have their HEA. The book is well written, full of emotion and it grabs your attention. I absolutely loved the book and would highly recommend it for a great read. Hopefully the second book in this series is close to being available.

I received The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. This is the first time I have read anything by Scarlett Peckham. I am sorry to say, while the writing was good, the punishment sex is not my cup of tea. I couldn’t bring myself to read the whole book. However, I did skip to the end, and the HEA was rather mellow. #TheDukeITempted #NetGalley

All I can say is wow! Take about the drama with Poppy and Archer right from the start in her greenhouse. Their connection but that connection wasn’t complete u til towards the end where Poppy followed Aecher to his secret. Emotional, with the secrets he keeps, she finds out, the reason she remembers him from her childhood and what that did to him years later and how heartbroken and distroyed his soul is as to why he keeps the secret he does. He was previously been married and had a child but the event that took place made him break. He was hoping for a wife of convince to keep his feels away but once he met and touch Poppy his heart and his brain were fighting to win. His sister Constance throw his plans away and made her own in regards to her brother. Granted he didn’t realize who a person Poppy was at first but later he figured it out but...... will they get their HEA even if she learns for him or does the divorce papers get signed and she gets her freedom that she craves once again.


Is Constance going to get her book soon or will she play matchmaker for more people in need of her help before she sees to her happiness
