Anita's Reviews > Desert Island Duke

Delightful and really fun. I love anything Kate Bateman writes, and this wonderful novella is no exception. It is too short, and I was left wanting to see what happens when they return to London, but it is a great way to pass a summer afternoon.

Being shipwrecked is no fun, but Caroline “Caro” Montgomery is bound and determined to exact her revenge on her brother's best friend, Maximillian "Max" Cavendish, Duke of Hayworth, who has made her life a misery forever. After the ship they are traveling on runs aground during a storm they both wash up on the same strand of beach and Max has no recent memories, Caro just can't help herself and has a little fun with him. Caro has been infatuated with Max forever, but he, quite frankly, has been a jerk toward her. He left England and served in the war coming back a changed man determined to win Caro. Now stranded on a deserted island he has his chance.
