The Duke's Guide to Correct Behavior



The Duke's Guide to Correct Behavior by Megan Frampton

Summary: All of London knows the Duke of Rutherford has position and wealth. They also whisper that he’s dissolute, devilish, and determinedly unwed. So why, everyone is asking, has he hired a governess?

When Miss Lily Russell crosses the threshold of the Duke of Rutherford’s stylish townhouse, she knows she has come face to face with sensual danger. For this is no doting papa. Rather, his behavior is scandalous, and his reputation rightly earned. And his pursuit of her is nearly irresistible—but resist she must for the sake of her pupil.

As for the duke himself, it was bad enough when his unknown child landed on his doorstep. Now Lily, with her unassuming beauty, has aroused his most wicked fantasies—and, shockingly, his desire to change his wanton ways. He’s determined to become worthy of her, and so he asks for her help in correcting his behavior. 

But Lily has a secret, one that, if it becomes known, could change everything…

Angie's Comments: This is a fun romp through the ton. When the duke’s illegitimate daughter is left on his doorstep, he decides to take her in and hires a governess for her. Of course, the duke is really a very nice man underneath his air of debauchery. A lot of the book revolves around the daughter, who is a delight. Author Megan Frampton gives her book a humorous tone while dealing with issues of abandonment. The Duke’s Guide to Correct Behavior is the first in the Dukes Behaving Badly series. The second book in the series, Put Your Duke Up, is also at the library.



Recommended for romance readers who enjoy plots involving children, cats, humor, and a fairy tale ending.
