More About This Book

Overview

The only way for vicar’s daughter Phoebe Millbury to inherit a family fortune is to find herself a duke—just as her late grandfather demanded in his will. But Phoebe, who’s still trying to make good after a romantic scandal, also has her two cousins to contend with. They’re all competing for the same money, maybe even the same men. ..until Phoebe meets her match in the terribly handsome and charming Rafe Marbrook.

When she receives a marriage proposal from the Marquis of Brookhaven, Phoebe is thrilled to learn that Rafe is headed for dukedom…and accepts his offer. There’s only one problem: It’s from Rafe’s older, less captivating brother, Calder. Now Phoebe finds herself on the verge of yet another scandal as she faces a desperate choice: Marry Calder for his money—or follow her own heart? Each way can only lead to trouble…

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

When their grandfather's will stipulates that the first one to marry a duke will inherit his fortune, cousins Phoebe, Deirdre, and Sophie suddenly find themselves competing for the elusive prize. Scandal-averse vicar's daughter Phoebe Milbury is the first to find love-but not with a duke. It is Rafe Marbrook, bastard brother of the Marquis of Brookhaven, who has claimed her heart. Yet in a strange twist of fate, she ends up engaged to the Marquis and must make some difficult decisions. Light, enjoyable, and romantic, this story nicely sets the stage for the two novels that follow. Told in consecutively released books (The Duke Next Door, Apr.; So I Married a Duke, May), the fairy tale-inspired "Heiress Brides" trilogy ably interweaves the cousins' stories and will appeal to readers who enjoyed Bradley's (Seducing the Spy) "Liars' Club" and "Royal Four" series.

    What a waste of time!

    I have read several books by this author and have been very pleased. This was a major disappointment. It was completely outlandish and totally unbelievable. I love romance books and believe in fairytale loves but this was frustratingly ridiculous and the writing was no where near the quality I've come to expect from Ms. Bradley.

    worth reading

    I bought the three book series and it was worth the money and worth the wait for it to come in the mail from Barnes and Noble. I have also read the Liar's Club series and the Royal Four series by the same author. Both are great. It was reading these series that made me look for other books by Celeste Bradley. I would recommend all of these series for reading. Just make sure you read the liar's club before you read the royal four, I made that mistake.

    A reviewer

    Oh this book is truly sweet. It is a frothy confection of comedy and romance that seamlessly intertwines with a story of two people's desperate search for love. I could barely contain myself with how truly sweet this story was. Phoebe Millbury is competing with her two cousins to come into a vast inheritance by marrying a duke. She is socially awkward and really funny. I'm usually annoyed by female leads but Phoebe just made me laugh. While Phoebe made me laugh, Rafe made me cry. He loved her so much and was determined to deny his feelings for her. He was so wonderfully tragic i just wanted to hug him. Desperately Seeking a Duke is light-hearted and wonderful.

    An entertaining charmer

    In 1815 their late grandfather Sir Hamish Pickering, disappointed in his daughters not marrying up, placed a stipulation in his will that has his grandchildren jumping. The first of the trio to marry a duke inherits his fortune.--------- The competing cousins (the rustic vicar¿s daughter Phoebe, the elegant Deirdre and the too tall Sophie) begin their respective quest if White¿s took a book the bets would be overwhelmingly on Deirdre. Phoebe plans to go through the motions of her London season, but refuses to truly participate until she meets Rafe Marbrook, who to her shock seems interested in her. However as he courts her, she learns he is not the heir to the dukedom of Brookhaven, but instead the half-brother to the future Duke Calder who decides to marry Phoebe. She must choose for love or money.---------------- This amusing take on the Regency marriage go round will have readers laughing out loud with the antics of the first Heiress Bride who must choose between the brother she loves and the brother Sir Hamish would select for her. Adding to the fun is the heroine¿s ethics that do not allow her to tell the Marbrooks the truth about the will as she does not want to harm her cousins¿ chances (coming in the next couple of months). Celeste Bradley continues her level of historical excellence (see the Royal Four spy romances) with this entertaining charmer.---------- Harriet Klausner
