Synopsis
Megan Frampton returns with the second book in the Hazards of Dukes series, a series that made Sarah MacLean say "Make Megan Frampton your next read!"
He needs a bride…
Nash, the “dangerous” Duke of Malvern, has always bristled against the rules of English society. Hot tempered and fearful of becoming like his brutish late father, he lives a life of too much responsibility and too little joy. And although he’s vowed to never marry, a duke has a duty—and there’s only one way to get himself an heir and a spare. So Nash reluctantly takes a look around at society’s available young ladies to see who might be willing to put up with his one-word answers and frequent glowers.
She longs for love…
After the death of her father and wicked stepmother, Ana Maria goes from virtual servant to lady-in-training, and while society life has its benefits—gorgeous gowns!—its restrictive rules stifle her sprit. And when her independent actions put her in danger, her half-brother insists Nash teach her some self-defense. While most of London’s ladies find Nash intimidating, she only sees a man who needs introducing to all the joys life has to offer. So although officially they are coming together for fighting lessons, unofficially their physical contact begins to blur the line between friendship and begins to grown into something more…

Nash’s childhood was such that he vowed he would never marry as he worried that he was too much like his abusive father. Gruff and unsociable, Nash is finally persuaded by his grandmother to look for a bride. He knows he shouldn’t entertain the idea of marrying Ana Maria, the half-sister and cousin of his best friends, Sebastian and Thaddeus. But when she implores him for lessons in self-defense, he finds he doesn’t want to remain just friends and that he wants to tear his walls down and be worthy of the positively lively Ana Maria. I enjoyed the balance of Nash and Ana Maria together. It felt like there was some disjointed parts concerning both of their backgrounds. Each of them had a tough go at it, yet with Ana Maria it was surprising that the relatives she had good relations with did not help her and with Nash, he was done even more disservice when his family abandoned him to his father because they assumed the apple did not fall far from the tree. Overall though, this grumpy and sunshine/beast and Cinderella story was sweet and entertaining.
