The gossips whisper that the new Duke of Murdoch is a brute, a murderer, and even worse—a Scot. They say he should never be trusted alone with a woman. But Megan Windham sees in Hamish something different, someone different.
No one was fiercer at war than Hamish MacHugh, though now the soldier faces a whole new battlefield: a London Season. To make his sisters happy, he'll take on any challenge—even letting their friend Miss Windham teach him to waltz. Megan isn't the least bit intimidated by his dark reputation, but Hamish senses that she's fighting battles of her own. For her, he'll become the warrior once more, and for her, he might just lose his heart.
There is nothing like a really cute historical romance to put me in a good mood. The Trouble with Dukes is the first in a spin-off series involving the Windham siblings. Their aunt is determined to see them married and happy. Hamish is a Scottish Laird and war hero who inherits a title that he wants nothing to do with. But, he is willing to endure the season for his sisters.
This is a really sweet romance. I loved Hamish and Megan together. Hamish is so adorably socially awkward, but Megan is the only one who doesn't seem to be phased by it. She was able to see through his PTSD from the war to realize that he was really an honorable hero, not a murdering traitor. The thing I loved the most about their relationship was that they became friends first. I absolutely loved the ending. The only gripe I had with the book was the amount of time spent with characters from the previous series. It was a bit hard to keep them straight. I highly recommend this one to any lover of historical romance. It was a lot of fun.
