THE DUKE IN QUESTION the third book in Amalie Howard’s historical romance series, DARING DUKES. Bronwyn wants more for her life than what is expected, and she is not afraid to take action to achieve it.

She prefers to stand on her own two feet than be dependent on another, especially a man. What I adore the most about Bronwyn is her mettle. Bronwyn hopes she can lead change in the way people, especially the ton, view and think of multiracial people. I like how Bronwyn is different from other members of Polite Society. She is a woman who is not content to adhere to the rules and regulations society has for noblewomen. Valentine never knew what to expect from her at any given time.īronwyn is a nice surprise. She never once bowed down to him instead, she kept him on his toes. What I love the most about Valentine is how he secretly admires Bronwyn’s pluck. It sent against his better judgement, but he wanted to ensure that she survived their ordeal. I like how Valentine grudgingly taught Bronwyn tactics in self-defense. Emotions in espionage is dangerous, and it could be an agent’s downfall. That allowed him to succeed in his former profession as a spymaster. He is a man who keeps his emotions encased behind a wall of ice. It took me a while to warm up to Valentine.

Can Bronwyn complete her mission without detection? Or is there more at stake than what she knows?

She soon finds herself way over her head. Bronwyn must elude him or risk blowing her cover. She never expected to find Valentine, her brother’s best friend, on the vessel.
