A Duke in Shining Armor
A Duke in Shining Armor | Loretta Chase
18 posts | 22 read | 5 to read
Not all dukes are created equal. Most are upstanding members of Society. And then theres the trio known as Their Dis-Graces. Hugh Philemon Ancaster, seventh Duke of Ripley, will never win prizes for virtue. But even he draws the line at running off with his best friends bride. All hes trying to do is recapture the slightly inebriated Lady Olympia Hightower and return her to her intended bridegroom. For reasons that elude her, bookish, bespectacled Olympia is supposed to marry a gorgeous rake of a duke. The ton is flabbergasted. Her familys ecstatic. And Olympia? Shes climbing out of a window, bent on a getaway. But tall, dark, and exasperating Ripley is hot on her trail, determined to bring her back to his friend. For once, the world-famous hellion is trying to do the honorable thing. So why does Olympia have to make it so deliciously difficult for him . . . ?

I laughed out loud enough that I‘m sure the drivers in the cars next to me must have thought I had an issue at stop lights. Loretta Chase does such a great job of creating strong, funny, women that are supposedly unlikeable, but that I‘d enjoy having in my circle of friends.

This book was almost painfully dull. It had a lot of promise but is so tedious and had a lot of repetitive text. I probably would have bailed but this was my #bookspin pick, so I was determined to finish. Another #audiojune pick finished as well. #romantsy #bookspinbingo

CoverToCoverGirl Oh no.. I recently picked this up cheap in an Audible sale.. Maybe this is a case of buyer beware. 3y
Nessavamusic I listened on Anyplay, but I had bought the actual book on sale because it was pretty… 3y
TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!!! 3y

This book is ok, very slow paced the first half but it‘s getting a bit more interesting.

Pacing was slow with a lot of inner monologue. But the story picked up a lot in the last quarter.

I got into Loretta Chase after reading Sarah MacLean's 100 romance novels and Lord of Scoundrels was good. This one only ok. Great chemistry and I loved the librarian heroine but not enough naughty bits for this romance reader. Plus too many leftover questions about secondary characters (maybe they're being saved for others on series).

1833. Runaway bride road trip. This was not as humorous as I expected & I found the three Dis-Graces rather annoying. More bothersome was the treatment of almost all men in the story as idiotic buffoons. I‘ll still read the next book in the series because it will be interesting to see if she can make a man out of the ridiculously immature & volatile Ashmont. #osrbc #romantsy

Was excited but ended up disappointed 😕 A runaway bride story with Chase‘s stock sensible heroine and ne‘er-do-well aristocrat hero. Both had appalling ethics that weren‘t even justified by any chemistry.The structure—nonstop scenes of predictable disasters—was like a bad romcom. But since novels are not obliged to follow movie pressures, the choice betrays lack of character depth. First in a series. Hoping the others are better. #romantsy.

Snowy day = time for reading!

This was a fun story. It follows the Dis-Graces, aka three Dukes that like to cause trouble. One is about to get married but his bride jumps out the window and his friend follows her. Ripley‘s aim is to bring Lady Olympia back to Ashmont but things don‘t go as planned. First book in a new series that comes out later this month. Can‘t wait for the next one!

Just got back from having lunch with a friend. She grilled burgers and corn on the cob. The picture is of Peri begging for a piece of burger.
I finished my blue alien romance, so back to my ARCs. Excited to read Loretta Chase's newest. #romantsy #arc #historicalromance

LauraBeth I hope Peri got a bite! 🍔 7y
