Dukes to the Left of Me, Princes to the Right - Kieran Kramer + EXTRAS

Their engagement was a fake.
Most women would not be pleased to be labeled a spinster. But Lady Poppy Smith-Barnes isn’t most women. In fact, Poppy has invented an imaginary fiancé, the Duke of Drummond, to deter unwanted suitors. A very useful fellow, this duke, until the real Drummond turns up and uses Poppy’s ploy to trap her in a betrothal.
Will their passion make it real?
A good spy flies below the radar. Which is why being named one of the Prince Regent’s “Impossible Bachelors” is so inconvenient for Nicholas Staunton. Every society female will be out to ensnare him. Nicholas needs a fiancée—and Poppy’s ruse is the answer. How could he have known she’d be a brazen, sensual siren with an irresistible taste for adventure? Now nothing less will do than to convince his fiery Poppy to revoke her spinster status…for good.

I was soo excited to read this book after reading When Harry Met Molly.  I was especially in love with WHMM and therefore I was worried that Dukes to the Left of Me, Princes to the Right would not be up to snuff...boy oh boy was I worried for NOTHING!!! I absolutely adored Nicholas and Poppy.

Poppy had been in love with Prince Sergei of Russia for six years and to stave off all the unwanted suitors she used her Cook's story of the Duke of Drummond insisting they were madly in love. This worked until she meets the actual Duke of Drummond and her father has accepted his marriage proposal on her behalf.

Nicholas was on the list of Impossible Bachelors and he loves his life of a Bachelor AND working for the Service. It gives him adventure and therefore no sitting whiling away his life at his home of Seaward Hall. He dallied with Sergei's sister Natasha who fancies herself in love with him.

Soon Molly's wait for Sergei is over and he returns to unveil a portrait BUT this is where her father announces her betrothal to Nicholas, who agrees to it for the Service mission alone.

Soon there is a plot from Natasha to tear apart Nicholas and Poppy, the plan to steal the potrait which houses the portrait of a traitor is full of twists and turns and Nicholas finds the return of his long lost Uncle...the rightful Duke of Drummond.

This book is full of wonderful first and secondary characters. Also, twist and turns, laughs and cries....therefore it is absolutely wonderful.

So with When Harry Met Molly  and Dukes to the Left of Me, Princes to the Right I have become a HUGE fan of Kieran Kramer and I cannot wait for the next book in the Impossible Bachelors series Cloudy With a Chance of Marriage.

Rules of an Engagement - Suzanne Enoch

This book is the third book in Suzanne’s Adventurer’s Club. I am a huge fan of Suzanne Enoch and every time she has a new book out I run out and buy it. Also, with that luscious cover even if I hadn’t been looking for this book I probably would have bought it anyway because of how beautiful it is!! That yellow is just soo yummy and that little satin blue on the side is just that pop of color that will catch your eye!



In this book our hero is Bradshaw Carroway who is a naval officer and who has been contemplating retirement but not too sure about it because the sea is in his soul. He just doesn’t know how he could live if he isn’t sailing the seas. Also OMG he is soo yummy! I mean if he were a real person I would probably attack him BUT then he gets these native tattoos on his neck and HOLY HECK talk about super YUM-O!!!!


He is still contemplating his retirement and then he meets Zephyr Ponsley. Yes her name is Zephyr and I absolutely adored it. It was fresh and new! Zephyr is nothing that Bradshaw expects in a lady. She has been on botanical expeditions with her father and has no real idea how a lady in polite society should act within the confines of the ton. So with her bumbles and missteps along the way with the society people also sailing with them which just seems to endear her more to him because she is NOT like any other lady he has ever met before.


At first Bradshaw and Zephyr are like two rocks rubbing against one another just irritating the heck out of one another but as we all know sooner or later when two rocks rub together they become smooth therefore Bradshaw realizes he would rather be arguing with Zephyr than sipping tea with the other ladies of the gentry.


Now there is action because after all they are on an expedition to find exotic plant and animal life (remember this is the 1800s so none of this has been explored before) and the natives of these lands do not really know what to think of the English.


I think my only complaint with the book is I felt that the secondary characters were not as well developed as I would like but still I loved this book nonetheless…yeah I love secondary characters and love to see them develop and get to know more about them.


So far this has been my favorite book in The Adventurer’s Club and with the book A Lady’s Guide to Improper Behavior coming in a close second!!

If you want to read Bradshaw and Zephyr's story just go here -->Rules of an Engagement (Avon)
