I received this ARC from Net Galley and voluntarily reviewed it.

The second book in the Duke Dynasty a well written story with a very good storyline the story flows smoothly across the pages. Lady Gwyn Drake, needs protection so her twin brother, Thorn, hires Joshua Wolfe to keep her safe. There is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, a villain, and romance. I enjoyed reading this story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lady Gwyn has kept a youthful affair secret to protect her family’s reputation, but now her former suitor has returned and will to share her secret. Her twin brother hires Joshua to be her bodyguard for her debut. What will happen when sparks fly between them? Fast-paced historical read with plenty of drama and steamy chemistry. Entertaining historical read with plenty of twists and turns. I liked it.

If Sabrina Jeffries writes a book, I will read it. Always.

I loved The Bachelor. The second book in the series Duke Dynasty, The Bachelor is a great addition to the first book. Emotions ran deep for Joshua (TW: PTSD) who was a surly, broody man, but I really liked his character. Gwyn ended up really coming to life in this book, and I loved seeing the romance slowly unfold as Gwyn brought Joshua out of his shell.

This was a great book, and I can't wait for the next book!

This was a classic Sabrina Jeffries romance with two strong main characters, an interesting plot that kept the story steady without any dull points, and a conflict that was believable and entertaining. The passion was great and I loved the two main characters a lot. Joshua was an enigmatic and complex male lead that really carried the story well. Gwen started off coming across as a bit weak, but definitely improved and was the perfect match for Joshua. They worked well together and there isn’t anything I can say that I didn’t like about this story. Loved it.

Sabrina Jeffries has been a 'comfort' read of mine for years and she just never disappoints! This is a story about sins of the pasts returning to risk the future and I love how Sabrina handles it. Sexy and very romantic, I highly recommend it....

Lady Gwyn Drake has long protected her family’s reputation by hiding an imprudent affair from her youth. But when her former suitor appears at Armitage Hall, manhandling the heiress and threatening to go public with her secrets, it’s Gwyn who needs protecting. Her twin brother, Thorn, hires Joshua Wolfe, the estate’s gamekeeper, to keep her safe in London during her debut. As a war hero, Joshua feels obligated to fulfill the assignment he has accepted. But as a man, it’s torment to be so very close to the beauty he’s fought to ignore. With handsome Joshua monitoring her every move, Gwyn would prefer to forget both the past and the parade of money-seeking bachelors at her coming out. But Joshua is unmoved by her attempts at flirtation, and the threat of blackmail still hangs over her. With danger closing in, Gwyn must decide which is the greater risk: deflecting a scoundrel’s attempts to sabotage her—or revealing her whole heart to the rugged bodyguard she can’t resist
I am a huge fan of this author and look forward to reading each book she releases. I read the first book in this series and absolutely loved it! In that book, we were introduced to the entire family, including both of these characters. Their interactions in that book had me wanting them to get their own book and I got my wish! In this book We get to really know Gwen and Joshua. I absolutely LOVED Joshua. I really liked Gwyn but there were times when she acted reckless for the sake of being stubborn. I’m all for independence but not for the sake of putting yourself in harm’s way. Beyond that I just loved this book and can’t wait for the next book in this series. I highly recommend.

The Story in 4 Sentences or Less: Lady Gwyn Drake has kept her youthful affair a secret from her family for years but when her former suiter shows up threatening to expose their affair if she doesn’t pay him, Gwyn knows she’s in over her head. Her twin brother hires the estate’s gamekeeper, Joshua Wolfe, to keep her safe in London but while Joshua agrees to watch over Gwyn, it’s pure torture for him to be so near to her. With Joshua practically glued to her side, Gwyn has a choice to make, go through her debut and pick a husband from the endless line of money hungry men, or take a chance that Joshua might have the same feelings for as she’s beginning to have for him.





Like It? Hate it? Love it? Why? The Bachelor was a long time coming. So long in fact, that I had to re-read the first book in order to reacquaint myself with the characters, plots, and sub-plots. Not a hardship since I liked the first book.

The first thing I noticed about Gwyn is that she’s not annoyingly young, she’s around 30 so she wasn’t prone to childish antics. She did have moments of being naïve, but given the time period the book takes place, it’s understandable and makes her more believable as a historical romance heroine. I liked Gwyn, she was witty, charming, and loved her family no matter how much they annoyed her with their need to protect her. She tries to keep herself optimistic despite her circumstances. Enter Joshua Wolfe who is the exact opposite. A war injury has him using a cane and he’s worldly, pessimistic, and cranky. His personality puts him at odds with Gwyn almost every step of the way. Their snarky banter added to the chemistry that started back in the first book but had a chance to grow into something more.

I did have one issue with The Bachelor, and it had to do with Joshua. It was that he kept blaming Gwyn for his attraction to her. He would accuse her in different ways of just being a flirt that wanted to manipulate him with her “feminine wiles.” It got old real quick and Gwyn never really sets him straight. I think this took away from the additional growth I think their relationship could have used. The physical chemistry was there between them but I think Joshua and Gwyn needed more time to let their guards down and have meaningful moments of conversation and insight into one another.

What I enjoy about this series is how each book is connected in a way that builds a larger plot and rewards faithful readers while not alienating new readers. The Bachelor can be read as a standalone but like all of Sabrina Jeffries books, it’s better to read them all and in order. I’m loving the added mystery of the investigation into Gywn’s father and stepfathers’ deaths.

Interesting snippet of a chapter, interesting enough that I bought the ebook in order to keep reading.

For a preview this was very intriguing! Enjoyed it immensely, would be interested in reading the full novel but I think I'm a little late to sign up!

The first chapter sampler was very compelling. It certain made me want to read the rest of the book as the story begins with a big confrontation that made me want to know more about the heroine and her situation. I immediately ended up purchasing the full book and continued reading the story.

A compelling romance with plenty of intrigue and espionage, with two characters who are reluctantly attracted to one another. An enjoyable read!

Good and interesting excerpt but I cannot say much based on just that. I need to buy this book to give a complete review on it but based on the excerpt itself, I would say it's a good hook.

Can't wait to read the whole thing! Too late to get the Netgalley copy though so will need to go out and buy this one myself!

This is the second book in the Duke Dynasty series. This is not a stand alone book but if you haven't read the first book you can jump right into this one with out feeling lost. The story centers around
Lady Gwyn who is being blackmailed by an old fling. Her brother the Duke asks his cousin, Joshua to be her bodyguard. Sparks fly between Lady Gwyn and Joshua.
Thank you for the ARC. This was my honest review.

In this time I have time to wittle a bit of the tbr with this being on it too long but now enjoyed. Another one that takes you into the past with Lady Gwyn and Joshua in this grand romance. I have always found the coming out stuff entertaining but in this one it also holds a bit of danger. As that goes on we also get another layer that involves chemistry that builds. The times at times make you flabbergasted also but we get a good romance that takes us on adventure if only for a little while.

This was only the first chapter but it had me more than a little bit intrigued as to what had happened between Lady Gwyn Drake and Captain L Malet.
But more importantly what laid ahead between Lady Gwyn and the gatekeeper Major Wolfe?
The author gave us a fast pass start to this story which made you want to read more straight from the start.

This excerpt has me looking forward to continuing along with this series. Sabrina Jeffries always creates enticing characters and well developed storylines.
