These books were adorable! I ended up reading all three of these in less than four days and now I'm mad that I have to wait until August for the last one in the series. The meet-cutes are all adorable and each "Duke" is ever so hunky in their own way. I love that all the women have passions that could support them and the happenstance of the money their duke has isn't a means to anything. Highly recommend if you need a fun and fast read.
