Her heroines are strong, self-sufficient women, which is a bit of a stretch in Regency England, but Bowen makes it plausible. They are quite likable and able to hold their own against the men they are matched with. And although her first two heroes were dukes, they were not your usual dukes -- one was a former pirate and the other was a recluse who hid his identity and became an ordinary farmer. They both appear as sidekicks to the hero in this book, a former soldier who now owns a high-class gambling club, but despite the title of the book, he is not a duke or even a son of a duke. Nor is he a devil, so I don't know why this title was chosen.
Now that I have written this, it makes these books sound rather silly, but they aren't. Bowen has the ability to get the right mix of adventure, mystery, humor, friendship, and hot-hot-hot sexual attraction -- enough to get me to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy the ride.
If this sounds appealing to you, I can heartily recommend the entire series. Kelly Bown is an author to keep your eye on....more
