Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  amoderndaybelle | May 27, 2021 |    ) Lashea677 | Feb 16, 2019 | I've read the rest of the books in the series so far and found them a mixed bag. This one was one I didn't enjoy as much, partly because I think the masked encounter trope is a bit played. In this case, it led to a lot of lust, but I didn't feel a lot of love going on. Matthew and Isabel are fine, but didn't seem to have a real connection other than sex. I'm enjoying the series, just didn't like this one as much. (  ) N.W.Moors | Jun 8, 2018 | Mrs. Isabel Hayes is looking for some sort of adventure before her family once again marries her to an aging suitor. Hence her voyeuristic attendance at the risqué Donville Masquerade. That was before she encounters Matthew Cornwallis, Duke of Tyndale, who used to be her cousin's fiancé. A man who stirs her blood. A man with his own demons. Isabel's cousin died in a tragic accident and her uncle blames the Duke. Nothing short of bringing about the Duke's downfall will suffice. Can a relationship begin under such illicit circumstances blossom between Isabel and Matthew? Or Is it doomed before they start? I was not as enamored of this Duke's Club story as I have been of others. A NetGalley ARC ( ) eyes.2c | May 23, 2018 | 1797 Club #7 Love the series and thoroughly enjoyed this book! Widowed Isabel Hayes lives with her uncle but after a loveless arranged marriage to an older man and knowing she has the same to look forward to in the future she takes her life into her own hands…at least a little bit…and attends and exclusive club where masks are worn and hedonism thrives. More a voyeur than a participant she is saved from a lecherous lord by Matthew Cornwallis, Duke of Tyndale. The two meet a few more times and when the masks come off both are surprised and perhaps not in a good way. Matthew and Isabel definitely feel a spark that grows into a conflagration when they are together but with a huge trust issue hanging over their heads and her uncle bent on revenge it takes calm minds to sort through the issues they face. I think what I liked the most about this book was the fact that Isabel was not a shrinking violet. She stood up for what she felt was right and was willing to ask for what she needed. It took Matthew a bit of time to come around and embrace his future with both hands but when he did…the two were a match made in heaven. Thank you to NetGalley and The Passionate Pen for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars (  ) CathyGeha | May 17, 2018 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Isabella has spent the last few years living an empty life. Now that she is a widow she has decided to explore the world of lust and desire previously denied to her before her uncle marries her in another empty, loveless marriage. She doesn't want to participate, just to observe. Until him.
It was to be one stolen night with a stranger, one memorable night to hold on to in the future. That would be enough. Should have been enough. Except he's not a stranger. He's the man her Uncle says murdered her cousin. She should be afraid of him but she's not. She should walk away from him but she can't.
Forced together in marriage with plenty of reasons to distrust each other, they must find a way to live together, to even maybe, one day, love each other.
I was thrilled to see Matthew finally get his story. (
