About this ebook

Amidst the enchanting Yuletide festivities, the Duke of Cleburne, Giles Fortescue, renowned for his roguish charm, finds his artfully constructed façade slipping through unexpected circumstances in the hallowed library's shadows. Mistaking one lady for another in a clandestine rendezvous, his carefully cultivated guise begins to unravel, plunging him into a labyrinth of unforeseen complexities that threaten to shatter his carefully honed reputation, leaving him ensnared by the ominous specter of societal censure.

Lady Juliet Gale's world is transformed when the devilishly alluring duke’s impetuous kiss propels her into a realm of unprecedented excitement and trepidation. As their passions entwine and boundaries blur, Juliet's moment of daring abandon leads to a transgression with consequences that reverberate far beyond the stolen embrace. As Yuletide joy collides with societal strictures, she must confront the price of her recklessness, navigating a path fraught with judgment and censure.

Amid the flickering candlelight and ornate decorations, the fates of Giles and Juliet converge. Will they surrender to the inexorable pull of destiny, allowing love to bloom amidst the frosty air of the holiday season, or will they muster the strength to defy convention and carve their own path, redefining their lives and love against the backdrop of a Regency Christmas?

In Fate Gave Me a Duke, the Yule log's glow illuminates not only festive celebrations, but the enduring struggle between honorable actions and untamed desires.

Lady Juliet Gale is being seduced by Giles Fortescue in the library. Never mind that he is seducing an innocent and not the widow who was to meet him instead. When caught together, more witnesses verify that they have to marry. Giles isn't upset, only Juliet has questions. Will her soon to husband, a rake and a rogue be faithful and grow to love her? A quick read of a couple passionate for each other and discover the gift of love at Christmas. Hot, steamy and descriptive. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

He didn’t mean to seduce Juliet, but he was drunk and mistook her for the very woman who caught them kissing. There is no question that they will marry, and they don’t fight it (much). There are some other concerns. Juliet wants very much for Giles to give up his rakish ways and be true to her. Giles hopes that he hasn’t married a silly debutante. This is a charming story and I like the way Giles and Juliet’s relationship develops, from friendly to sizzling. They might even have a chance at what they both really want, true love and happiness. Enjoyable read. I received an ARC of this book via BookSprout. My review is voluntary.

Amanda Mariel’s “Fate Gave Me a Duke” is book 3 in the Fated for a Rogue Series. This is a sweet Regency romantic comedy. Lady Juliet, a wallflower had gone to the library for a book to read when the devilishly good looking rogue, Lord Giles, Duke of Cleburne swoops in for a kiss mistakenly thinking she’s one of his paramours. Caught of guard Juliet liked it far too much to stop it but rather wrapped her legs around his waist and was enjoying it when they were caught. This was delightful, passionate story of two people fate really did belong together. To avoid the scandal they must marry. Can they possibly find out their happily ever after? Thank you Ms. Mariel for this charming romance story.
