Throwback Thursday (96)

This meme was once hosted at Buried Under Romance and Love Saves The World, and hasn’t been active for a while now. So I decided since I have a fierce love for historical romance, to start it up again. Anyone is welcome to join in if you like because I would love to see your pick of the week for a throwback historical romance that you loved!!

What is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or an image from their past — usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book-related Throwback Thursday.

The Historical Romance Edition:
Since Tin from Love Saves The World, Mary from Buried Under Romance, are fans of historical romance, this is a way to honor our favorite genre.

Here are our rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
2. It must be a historical romance novel published before October 3, 2008.

So, the novel I’m featuring is…

Who is this man?

The Duke of Thanet may have hired her as a governess to his six-year-old son, but there is something . . . different about the devilish rogue standing before her today. He seems to study her with an intensity she never noticed before, and he is certainly more charming than the last time they encountered each other. Was there always an alluring glint in his dark eyes? But the duke has a notoriously scandalous reputation, and Meriel will not let herself succumb.

Masquerading as the duke was not the simple solution Richard O’Neill had envisioned. When his ailing half-brother, the real duke, asked him to protect his young heir from a greedy enemy, Richard agreed. But he never thought he’d be attracted to the inquisitive governess, or that each moment in her intoxicating presence would tempt him beyond all reason. And letting down his guard could prove dangerous . . . especially to Richard’s own heart.

Why The Duke In Disguise?

This is a story of mistaken identity. Our hero is doing a favor for his dying brother. So he poses as a Duke…but there is one problem, his nephew’s governess doesn’t believe he is the real Duke. I adored this book so much. Seeing Richard and Meriel together is memorable. Its interesting to see how Meriel figures out the truth about Richard and the connection between these two is complex and vivid.

    I love historical romances. I won’t lie, the cheesy covers sometimes scare me off and I probably would have overlooked this one but I will have to add it to my GR list. 🙂

    This sounds great. I always enjoy books that have one of the characters in an assumed identity. I am pretty sure I haven’t read this author yet.

    ‘Oldies’ long remembered are some of the most powerful reads. I’ve my own. Once I get out from all my present commitments, I’ll play along.
