Few romance writers are as talented as Jennifer Ashley. She knows readers want lots of action, and she delivers! Although not as sweet as her debut novel, The Mad, Bad Duke is a magical tale of love woven with intrigue, charms, and shape-shifting humans. Do not be fooled by its masquerade as a simple regency romance. The Mad, Bad Duke is more than meets the eye. The novel is definitely what The Romantic Times Book Review calls a scorcher! Grade: A
