Margaret Watkins's Reviews > Lady Delilah Dares a Duke

In a family known for their eccentricity, Lady Delilah fits right in. However, in a world where the rules of the ton apply, Delilah feels stifled, and the Duke of Ravensworth is the one man who has the ability to make her choke on her rage. Her brother's best friend, Sebastian has always been protective of Delilah, although she isn't aware of it, and has saved her from humiliation more than once. Taking the summer out to perform with a traveling troupe of actors, Delilah is horrified when Sebastian decided that the only way in which he can get close to Delilah is to also join the troupe as a carpenter. For the most part, Delilah manages to avoid Sebastian, until it becomes impossible and he moves in to stake his claim. This is a cute story and somewhat whimsical but the attraction between Sebastian and Delilah nevertheless sizzles. It is only when Delilah's identity is once again at risk that she runs, but Sebastian knows better than to go after her. Instead, he waits for her to make the next move. The story, fortunately, closes on a fun-filled note and the lovers find what they are looking for. I received a copy of this most enjoyable novel as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
