Duke’s Men Historical Romance Book Series by Sabrina Jeffries

What the Duke Desires by Sabrina Jeffries (2013)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 1 of the Duke’s Men series. Max and Lisette team up to track down her missing brother because he may have information about Max’s presumed dead brother. Except it’s kind of a mess because Lisette’s brother is wanted for horse-thieving in England and she doesn’t want Max, the duke, to cost him his life or job. Max and Lisette end up traveling together to France and need to pose as a married couple to save her reputation. He also thinks he cannot marry for love because he’s doomed to die of madness like his father. (Spoiler: it’s not hereditary, the dad had syphilis). Action-adventure-mystery here with a large dose of self-denial.

When the Rogue Returns by Sabrina Jeffries (2014)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 2 of the Duke’s Men series. Second chance romance after everyone’s been lied to. Tragic prologue for Isa and Victor, who get caught up in some royal jewel thieving, orchestrated by Isa’s sister and brother-in-law. Ten years later, Victor has finally got a clue about his missing wife’s whereabouts in Scotland. She’s been living there under an assumed name as an imitation jeweler all these years. It’s a messy confrontation between them, but they quickly reunited once the truth of her sister’s betrayal comes to light. But they’re both hesitant to actually trust each other, and there’s still more danger ahead. Add in a bumbling baron and a country house party, and there’s loads of drama.

How the Scoundrel Seduces by Sabrina Jeffries (2014)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 3 of the Duke’s Men series. Ooh, I love a mystery here. So Lady Zoe has a family mystery to solve and hires an investigator to solve it. Except Tristan is being annoying combative and prickly, probably because he’s attracted to Zoe while hating the aristocracy. There’s fighting and flirting and kissing and loads of drama here. Especially because they’ve got a big question of inheritance on the line. Loved this addition to the series.

Dorinda and the Doctor by Sabrina Jeffries (2014)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 3.5 of the Duke’s Men series. Super short novella. The duchess is playing matchmaker with widowed Dorinda and the local doctor Percy. Lucky for them, they’ve had a crush on each other the whole time. But Dorinda is struggling to get close to a man because her late husband sucked and she feels totally insecure for being barren. But you know, Percy is perfect, so they get together pretty quickly.

If the Viscount Falls by Sabrina Jeffries (2015)

Historical romance. Regency-era England. Book 4 of the Duke’s Men series. Last in the series. Disinherited second son of a viscount, Dom, engineers for his fiancee, Jane, to jilt him when he’s in dire circumstances. Twelve years later, he has inherited the title, Jane is engaged to someone else, and she needs help locating her missing cousin. It’s lots of angry bickering between these two as they both misjudge each other and the missing cousin’s character. But you know, it’s a second chance romance and they’re still in love with each other. Dom just has to get over his high-handed controlling nature and actually have a discussion with Jane about their future. I love reading books where our characters have to team up to solve a mystery, and this was another excellent one.
