Four dukes. Two balls. One prizefight.
Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens will never be the same.
After England’s victory in the Battle of Waterloo, the Prince Regent arranges a series of lavish celebrations at London’s notorious Vauxhall Gardens. The royal festivities bring together the rich and the desperate, the criminal and the lordly…and allow four very different dukes to find the love of a lifetime.
A proper viscount is kidnapped by a duke of the criminal underworld, only to encounter a mysterious woman from his past. A retired prizefighter, once known as the Duke of the Ring, stakes his reputation on a scrappy young boxer for the sake of a long-lost love. A traveler who inherited a dukedom needs a tightrope dancer’s help with a fake engagement that just might turn real. And the buccaneer son of a royal duke goes hunting for a respectable, highborn wife to salvage his scandalous reputation.
Let the pleasures begin...

The Dukes of Vauxhall is an amazing box set of books, that I absolutely
loved! From tightrope walking heroine, illegitimate son, Master of Ceremonies,
to a fighting lord! The box set literally has it all!
But there was one story
that stuck out for me! Mainly because I have never read a story like it! And
that is the story of Patricia Storm and the man that love her and lied! Oh my goodness, to say that I'm praying that the author continues with this series, might just be an understatement. Patricia character honestly broke my heart! to be "betrayed" by a lie from someone you love, and not be able to move on FOR 10 YEARS! oh my goodness, this brought ugly tears! But then you get to Godrick, and you just want to shake him, and yell at him. But he has more regrets that we will ever know!...so yeah! I'm just a little bit invested in the story.
As a British women living in America, I'm always very critical of
American authors writing historical romances set in London. But this collection
completely enchanted me, and I couldn't put it down. The writing and plots of
all four authors kept me gripped, and in parts, crying like a baby and
alternatively yelling at my kindle like a deranged women.
I have to say, if you a looking for a fresh take on Historical romance,
take a chance on The Dukes of Vauxhall box set, but be prepared to fall in
love!
I give The Dukes of Vauxhall 5 stars.
