The Lost Duke of Wyndham by Julia Quinn, 3

Book description: Jack Audley has been a highwayman. A soldier. And he has always been a rogue. What he is not, and never wanted to be, is a peer of the realm, responsible for an ancient heritage and the livelihood of hundreds. But when he is recognized as the long-lost son of the House of Wyndham, his carefree life is over. And if his birth proves to be legitimate, then he will find himself with the one title he never wanted: Duke of Wyndham.

Grace Eversleigh has spent the last five years toiling as the companion to the dowager Duchess of Wyndham. It is a thankless job, with very little break from the routine . . . until Jack Audley lands in her life, all rakish smiles and debonair charm. He is not a man who takes no for an answer, and when she is in his arms, she's not a woman who wants to say no. But if he is the true duke, then he is the one man she can never have . . .

Review: I found The Lost Duke of Wyndham to be pretty average as far as Julia Quinn books go. The romance could have been developed a little better but this wasn’t irritating enough to keep me from enjoying the book. Quinn’s fun dialogue was enough to keep me entertained through out this quick read. Even though it is not her best work, Quinn fans will find something to like here.
