I am enjoying this series. Each book adds a little more to the group of Turner Terrors but you do not need to read the other books to understand what is going on. The romance was very nice. I look forward to reading Finch's book.

This was a fun quick read. I enjoyed the characters and it had a nice plot. Would read more by this author

Alexa Aston’s Duke series is a favorite, with engaging characters, immersive plots, and treacherous roads to eventually happy resolutions. Disrupting the Duke has my favorite archetype - Gruff Rake - and the heroine is refreshingly independent without being grating. If you enjoy regency romance, this one is a must read.

A wonderful addition to the Dukes Done Wrong series. Alexa Aston writes interesting stories with well-written characters. Wynter, a confirmed spinster, meets and falls for Donovan, a newly minted Duke who also would like to avoid marriage. Sparks fly and both start to reevaluate their stands on marriage until unforeseen circumstances separate them. It will be a long road to their HEA. Definitely recommended.
Thank you Alexa Aston, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

it was a very interesting build up of the story, we got to see most of Donovan, our hero when he was young and up til when he became duke. I really liked that the author uses time to “make” the characters for us, instead of just jumping into it. Wynter, our heroine also at first seemed stubborn and she has that damsel-in distress vibe; BUT it is not overly done. She`s not annoying in that sense. I have read my fair share of annoying damsel in distress- characters, believe you me. We got a short time with Sam, Donovan`s brother. In that short period of time, I came to like Sam – he was an adoring brother to Donovan, though it bothered me that they were apart of that long and Sam seemed to not visit? Or meet him for very many years though it might be because of their ruthless cruel father. Enough about that, I enjoyed the chemistry between Wynter and Sam, that they did not fall for each other right away. The author can really write, I look forward to reading more of her books.

Pomp and circumstance of history novels is what draws me in and what I love to get lost in. A women getting the best of a Duke is fine entertainment!

For all their intelligence, Wynter and Donovan are remarkably stubborn. And by stubborn, I mean rather stupid. Fortunately, their individual stupidity rarely coincides.

Donovan is the third of five Turner Terrors to get his book. Separated from his family when he was a young boy by his cruel father, a duke, he formed a family of the heart with his four boarding-school roommates. Years pass without any contact with the duke or Donovan's older, much beloved brother. As the present-day part of the story begins, Donovan is on the continent serving in the army, just having gained the rank of major. A message from home informs him that, due to a tragic accident, he is now the duke.

When he returns to his childhood estate, he meets his neighbor, Lady Wynter Day. Wynter had been best friends with Donovan's older brother, though she and Donovan had never met. For various reasons, Wynter had long since decided never to wed, and her father was supportive of her wishes. Attraction sparks between the two, and determined bachelor Donovan soon decides he'll convince Wynter to marry him. That determination backfires, of course, because she's already told him she won't marry. And then additional back-and-forth stupidity ensues.

Positive influences in favor of marriage come in the form of the two previously wed Terrors, Miles and Wyatt, and their spouses. These friends--along with a fourth Terror, do their best not to let Stupidity win, and their presence in the novel is a reassuring thing.

My complaints about stupidity are not about the author or plot, to be clear. They relate to the characters, and stupidity in a character can be invigorating. I do wish, however, that there was more to the plot than Wynter being marriage averse. Another more serious conflict eventually emerges, but not until near the very end, and it's just too late in the tale to worry that it'll be a true obstacle.

I enjoy this authors various series very much, and this one is no exception. I'm especially looking forward to Finch's tale, though I suspect we'll hear Hart's first.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Thanks!

Every book I read in this series makes me fall more and more in love with the characters. The friendship between the boys are heartwarming and I love seeing them reunited after several years apart. Donovan might be one of my favorite. I flew through this book since I wanted to know what he would say or do next. The relationship between him and Wynter was so good and it broke my heart to see them struggle. I am still utterly in love with Finch and I can’t wait for his book

An easy read. An enjoyable story. There were moments that were contrived, some clunky/cheesy dialogue but overall a fun read. Would read more of the series and more of her work. I really liked Wynter and Donovan. I liked her independence, I enjoyed his softness. It was a nice change from the regular Alpha male hero I’m usually treated to. The ending tragic scenario was predictable. I knew by the middle of the book that one of them would be in that particular situation. The explosive reaction wasn’t what I was expecting and it’s quick resolution wasn’t very satisfying. This book was light on deep feelings at least for me which was a nice change from some of the darker reads I have had recently. Would recommend.

Wow! Never, ever would I have believed I would’ve enjoyed this book as much as I did. . Loved it and had trouble putting this one down!!!

Disrupting the Duke by Alexa Aston is the third in the Turner Terrors series, revolving around five little boys who were sent away from home at a young age, never to return, for various reasons; mostly horrid fathers. Donovan Martin has just been made aware that he is the new Duke of Haverhill, his father and brother both having been killed in a carriage accident. His father was no loss, but Donovan had looked forward to knowing his brother, Sam, again. When he had been exiled as a 10-year-old, after the death of his mother, Sam had been instructed to never say his name again. Now the mean old man was dead, but so was Sam. He didn't know how to be a duke; he had always been a soldier. When he arrived and spoke to the solicitor, he had a better idea what he was up against. He set off to visit Hillside, his childhood home, where his mother had dies and he had last seen Sam. As he neared his destination, he spied a fine ride astride an even finer horse. As he got closer, he saw the rider was female, although in breeches, rising astride. It was Lady Wynter Day, his neighbor, and the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

This is a fun series, and the most fun is that we keep seeing and hearing of the other Turner Terrors. They had become fine men, despite their fathers. Two of them were married, and Donovan was determined to become the third when he made Lady Wynter his duchess. She was just as determined to never marry. Life intervened and she began to think maybe her original plan was flawed. Could Donovan be the man for her? A fun book, Disrupting the Duke started off as a bit of a mess, but quickly came together as Donovan and Wynter got to know one another. Wynter had been a good friend of Sam's and so was able to share stories of his brother with Donovan, as did her father. It was all he had, not enough, but something. Donovan seemed a man with sense. He knew when not to push. It was a fun journey to their happily-ever-after.

I was invited to read a free e-ARC of Disrupting the Duke by Dragonblade, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #netgalley #dragonblade #disruptingtheduke

Donovan Martin was sent away from his brother by their father to a school for trouble kids of lords but these kids haven't done anything wrong they form a brother hood that stands strong as they grow into adulthood. Donovon becomes an major in the army when he learns that his brother and father die in an accident which makes him the new Duke of Haverhill. On his way to his home he meets Wynter Day who was his brother's best friend. Two days before Christmas, she is alone cause her father went to see his brother and Wynter didn't want to go , she injure's her foot in front of Donovan. He takes her home for Christmas because he doesn't want her to be alone trying to heal he also has a few of his brother hood coming over for christmas. They start falling for each other but Wynter doesn't want to marry anyone so Donovan has to over come that just when he does a accident happens to him which makes him push her away can they heal from this accident. It could have been longer but it was good

Another Turner Terror must resign his army commission due to his father and brother's deaths. Never given instructions on being a duke, Donovan Martin is afraid of the job. Fortunately he has a knowledgeable secretary and two other Turner Terrors, now dukes, and their wives to help. His most thought consuming and interesting distraction, is his attractive neighbor, Lady Wynter Day. Injuring her ankle before Christmas, she recovers at his home, Hillside. The golden opportunity for Donovan to seduce Wynter and change her mind about marriage. Just when things are going his way, tragedy strikes. Absolutely one of the best series to read. Strong characters with all their flaws who go through pain and anguish before finding happiness.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Fifteen years after Donovan's father sent him away at the age of 10, he returns home as the new Duke of Haverhill. Donovan really had no plans to marry until he met his neighbor Wynter Day.
Alexa Aston has written a fabulous series with the Dukes Done Wrong! The books grab you on page one and keep you enthralled until the last page. The other Turner Terrors make an appearance in Donovan's story. I can't wait to read Finch's story.
This story is well-written, has wonderful characters, a definite twist or two, and lots of emotion!

FANTASTIC!!!! Disrupting the Duke by Alexa Aston is book 3 in the Dukes Done Wrong series and this book held me captive from page one to the very end. Though in a series this book can be read as a standalone. This original regency book is one that I could not put down and is so very well written. Alexa has a true and wonderful talent and is one of the best writers of today. Yes… I absolutely loved this story. This story has a very independent women who doesn’t want to marry, a second son that becomes a duke, death, a loving mother, a loving father, a cruel father, being banished, being blamed for his mother’s death, not being able to see his brother, 2 horrible carriage accidents, both person having scars, thinking they know what is best, pushing the person you love away, really good friend that are now brothers who support one another and falling in love. WOW… this book has it all and I am highly recommending you read this book. You will not be disappointed.

***This book was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.

The third of the Turner Terrors, Donovan Martin, second son of the Duke of Haverhill was loved by his mother, but hated by his father, especially following his mother's death. Banished from the estate, and banned from communicating with his much loved elder brother. He's found his family in his fellow Terrors, but when an accident leads to him being the new Duke of Haverhill, he's way out of his comfort zone. More suited to the battlefield than a London drawing room, Donovan needs all the help he can get, and neighbour and friend of his brother, Wynter Day, is his guiding light. For Wynter, she knows that her father has settled a large allowance on her, in the case of his death, and she never needs, or wants, to marry. Her many years on the Season has allowed her to make matches and friendships, but she's never felt the spark that would make her consider giving up her freedom - until Donovan. From the first moment, she's questioning her feelings, and might just be willing to marry. Spending time with Donovan and his friends allows Wynter to see what her life could be like, but when tragedy strikes, will they be able to overcome it all?

This book might be my favourite of the series so far, though there were some moments towards the end that I disliked. Donovan and Wynter were fantastic characters, with strong backstories, and histories that shaped them into the person they were now. Donovan saw the cruelty of his father, and how image was everything to him when his mother died, and he was sent away as a grieving young boy, never to see his family again. He found friendship and kinship with the other boys sent to the Turner School, and in the military. When the news reached him that he was now Duke of Haverhill, it was met with dismay as he never wanted the title, and hoped that he could reconnect with his brother, Sam, when their father died. He knows nothing about what it means to be Duke, and needs to rely on the help of others - first his new secretary, then Wynter and her father, and finally his friends when they visit for Christmas. But it's mainly Wynter he relies on, and the longer they are together, the more it is obvious he can't imaging marrying anyone else, and he needs to prove his worth to her. I did hate the way the conflict towards the end was dealt with, but loved seeing the majority of the Terrors and their wives. I think the series is growing as more books are released, and I need to see the final two love stories!

Finding Love Despite Tragedy

Donovan, like the rest of his cohorts, is unjustly sent away from his family. With his friends, he finds a family he does not have at home. His life will make you weep, but sometimes, a phoenix rises out of the ashes.

Donovan does not expect to become a duke, but tragedy strikes, and he becomes “His Grace,” ready or not. He finds the woman of his dreams, but Wynter has no intention of marrying anyone. Will Donovan Convince Wynter that she does not have to give up her independence if she marries him? A few surprises, tragedies, and challenges strike the pair. Will they overcome the obstacles and find happiness? This is an emotional story, so you will want to keep that box of tissues handy. If you like Regency romance, where the protagonists have quite a few challenges to overcome, you might enjoy this story.

London 1811

A wonderful addition to this unique series of five boys who were banished by their families when very young. Ending up together at a school, the form a lifelong bond. This is the story of one of those, Donovan Martin.

With the death of his father and older brother, Donovan becomes the Duke of Haverhill. Never expecting this to happen, he had lived his life as he wanted and did not want to settle down.

All that changes when he meets his neighbor, Wynter (love that name!) unexpectedly.Wynter only wants to be an independent woman and not marry either. But when the arrow hits the heart, there is no escape!

Emotional with sorrow, tragedy, and a journey to love that will not be easy. Great having visits with the other characters from the other books of the series. Cannot wait for the next one!

This series just keeps getting! Having met Donovan in the first book at Turner Academy, I thoroughly enjoyed this romance. As with his best friends, he was sent to the academy branded a trouble maker, but of the five boys, he was perhaps the gentlest and least likely to make trouble. Taking advantage of the education he received and emulating his older brother in all his dealings, Donovan reaches the rank of Major in the British Army. When news comes of the demise of both his father and beloved brother Sam, Donovan returns to England, completely unprepared for the responsibilities awaiting him. Upon his arrival, he is dumbstruck when he sees a woman racing across the fields in breeches, and when he catches up with her, introduces himself to Lady Wynter Day. Used commanding his troops, Donovan has to learn that he cannot control everything in his orbit, and certainly Wynter has a strong will and a mind of her own. This Regency romance is unconventional in many respects, but as Wynter has already declared her independence, they manage to get away with more than most debutantes. I was so glad that the characters of the previous two books appeared in this one too, and that Finch played a larger role than usual. This romance is well-written, entertaining, and witty, and I gave a huge sigh of satisfaction when it came to a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this novel as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

4.5 Stars
Major Donovan Martin finds himself the new Duke of Haverhill after his father and brother Sam drown in a carriage accident. He now has to return to the estate from which his father banished him fifteen years earlier. Wynter Day (love the name!) wants to maintain her independence and never become subservient to any man. Besides, no man has ever sparked her interest romantically. Then the new Duke of Haverhill crashes into her life, causing Wynter to reconsider her stance on marriage. A sprained ankle brings the pair closer together, with Wynter spending the Christmas holidays with Donovan and his ducal friends. Sparks ignite then a tragic accident threatens to separate the pair.
This is the third book in the series & it could be read on its own but to fully appreciate it I’d recommend reading from the start. I loved both Donovan & Wynter, both were fiercely independent but their attraction sizzled from their first meeting. I always love it when a rake falls hard & Donovan fell very hard. Wynter is stubborn & nearly ruined everything. We did get to know the enigmatic Finch a little more. I found this to be a more emotional read than the previous books. A well written entertaining, engrossing read
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
