The Duke of Spice
The Kembal Family
Sasha Cottman
Reviewed by Helen
I do love a good historical and this one ticks all of the boxes, a Duke who is a little different from the usual Dukes and a feisty heroine who knows what she wants, will they ever be able to make a lasting relationship with secrets and maybe some scandals? Come along and meet Lady Victoria Kembal and Robert Tolley, The Duke of Saffron Walden for an exciting adventure.
With the Kembal family scandal hopefully behind Lady Victoria, her mother goes all out to find a husband for her, she accepts that this is what is needed for the family there are a few that have been selected and it is now time to meet them, Victoria is happier when she is checking out food reviews and reading cookbooks, food is her joy, when she meets The Duke of Spice at a dinner the sparks fly and chemistry ignites, Victoria then does something that she had never thought she would which lands her in the kitchen with The Duke of Spice and passion awakes.
Robert is not your conventional Duke he is determined to bring a company down anyway he can even stealing but when a young Lady Victoria does her best to have him sacked as food reviewer for the paper he goes after her as well, only that doesn’t work out the way he thought it would either, because after a very sensual time in his kitchen he now finds himself married to Lady Victoria Kembal and he must hide his secret before he is caught.
This book is an adventure and a half of pure sensual fun and drama as the East India Company agents come after The Duke of Spice and Victoria is there, will they both be safe, will they find love and happiness or will everything turn upside down, one thing is for sure their hearts are opening up to love if they can open up to each other.
I did love this one it is witty, steamy, sensual and a fabulous read, one that I highly recommend to any lover of historical romance, one with a difference, a must read.
My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
