So I finished Suzanne Enoch's Sins of a Duke. I enjoyed this book. Of course I've always liked my heroes forceful and in charge. I also enjoy a kick ass woman and this book had both. Sins of a Duke brings Sebastian Griffin, the Duke of Melbourne and Princess Josefina Katarina Embry in sights of one another. Princess Josefina is from South America (this is rare, usually I only come across Jamaica in a historical romance novel). Sebastian is the head of his family (duhhh, the duke) and when he is tasked by the Prince Regent to be the liaison between the Embrys and England. He is instantly attracted to Josefina and that really surprises him because he hasn't been attracted to anyone in the four years since his wife's death. He does have an adorable daughter who gives him advice on love (she's seven) so you have to enjoy a story where the man can be forceful one moment and then tender with a child the next. Anyway, the Embrys are in town to do two things, one is to gain a loan to help set up their newly founded country Costa Habichuela and two, to find a husband for Josefina.
The King of Costa Habichuela, Stephen Embry is an Englishman originally and requested Sebastian because he wanted to make a match there between Sebastian and Josefina. The only problem is that Sebastian really things that there is something wrong with the way the Embrys are describing Costa Habichuela. He starts to do some digging and definitely thinks that they are lying. Are they lying? No clue. I ain't telling you. But I will say that this is a continuation of The Griffin Family. The series starts out with Sin and Sensibility, followed by An Invitation to Sin and Something Sinful. I haven't read the others in the series but I did enjoy Sins of a Duke so much I am definitely going to go looking for them. You can read Chapter 1 at http://www.suzanneenoch.com/
Today at work is supposed to be S.T.A.R day and apparently we were supposed to come dressed up as a celebrity. I didn't get the memo till this morning so my celebrity is well. Me. Anyway, a drag queen just walked in. Go figure. I'll try to snag a photo later.
My head is throbbing today not so sure why, but it's probably a lack of sleep issue. Anyway I will be back later with a continuation of The Interview!
