Short Review of A Duke For Diana

 I got this from Netgalley for a fair and honest review.

Title: A Duke for Diana

Author: Sabrina Jeffries

Publisher: Kensington (Zebra)

Rating: 4 stars
Self-made civil engineer Geoffrey Brookhouse has unexpectedly inherited the dukedom of Grenwood. But he has a secret that could ruin his family. Hoping to save his timid sister from that fate, he seeks to marry her off to a respectable, protective gentleman. With the London Season imminent, Geoffrey hires Elegant Occasions to orchestrate her debut. Yet Lady Diana Harper, spirited fashion expert, proves more than he bargained for. Suddenly, Geoffrey’s sister is emerging from her shell, and he is beleaguered with social invitations and gossip! Worse, Diana is attempting to transform him into a presentable duke—when all he really wants is to win her heart...

Diana doesn’t know what to make of the handsome, disheveled duke. The man bristles at the very idea that his fashion faux pas might spoil his sister’s chances. Yet Geoffrey’s stubbornness simply inspires Diana to ruffle his feathers—by setting him on a course of self-improvement. Although there’s something endearing, even irresistible about his flaws, can a man who hates the ton tolerate a woman who makes her living catering to them? Little does either know that they have more in common than they suspect—and that two can create a society all their own...

I am a fan of Sabrina Jeffries so I am so happy to have read this one! It was a lot of fun!

Diana and her two sisters parents caused a scandal that ruins their chances of marriage. Well, one of her sisters was married at the time but her husband basically ran off into the military and then died.  So all three are single and decided to open up a business that would cater to young debutants that are coming out into society. Diana is good at fashion, the other sisters are good at food and hair, so they create Elegant Occasions.

It has become a great way for them to make money and when a new duke needs help making sure his sister has a good coming out things get real interesting.  Civil engineer Geoffrey Brookhouse has unexpectedly inherited the dukedom of Grenwood. He is not real happy about it but wants to give his younger sister the debut she deserves, he just didn't realize how much it would cost! That was one of the fun banters that Geoffrey and Diana have at to start us out and I just new this was going to be a fun one!!

I love Diana and her sisters and I really liked Geoffrey, his sister and mother, so this had a great cast of characters! I think the only thing I didn't like is that I felt like it just took Geoffrey to long to come to terms with things (can't say what).  

Recommend if you are a fan of historical romances.
