He’s at her service . . .Though she can’t afford the coal to heat her drafty Mayfair mansion, Felicity Langley still clings to her dream of marrying a duke—one she’s had since her very first curtsy. After all, she’s been promised to the very lofty Duke of Hollindrake for the last four years. Now all she has to do is meet him. But what Felicity doesn’t realize is that she has met her duke—he’s the … met her duke—he’s the altogether too handsome man who Felicity has just mistaken . . . for her new footman!
By rights, Thatcher should immediately set this presumptuous chit straight and tell her he has no intention of honoring the arranged betrothal. But he’s quickly smitten by Felicity’s delightful determination, her irrepressible charm . . . and her breathtaking sensuality. Yes, she’d wed him in an instant were his true identity revealed—but Thatcher’s vowed to marry only for love. So begins his deception and his conquest of this uncommon woman who doesn’t believe in romance, but is about to find her heart and passion set aflame by the unlikely man she’s sworn to resist.

Absolutely charming & great fun! Loved the hero & heroine.
In fact I had the following book CONFESSIONS OF A LITTLE BLACK GOWN stored in my kindle but when I checked Goodreads reviews, I discovered it was a kind of two parts story, one for each twin sisters and the book I had was the second.
So I purchased this one.
Everything was rather utterly unbelievable but Mrs Boyle crafted it in such a way, that it become so wonderfully enjoyable that I had nothing to do if it was a bit far-fetched.
I laughed, smiled and swooned.
Felicity and Thatcher are heroes as I love them, they are able to see their errors but aim to right them even if they are rather hot-tempered people acting sometimes on impulse and came to regret it.
I first I wondered why Felicity was so inclined to marry her duke, someone she never met. She might be in dire need of funds but why this duke.
Then slowly her true nature was revealed, she has a heart bigger than herself and even if she has some hope to have a nice marriage with her duke, she aims to protect those she thinks under her care, and nothing is better than to be under a duke’s protection.
She just never expected to fall for her new footman, a man who turns her view of love upside down.
Thatcher or Lord Sterling or the new Duke Of Hollindrake does agree to find himself betrothed to an unknown chit when he just comes back home in his new tittle.
Not he expected to be entranced by said chit and so much he entered her game of winning her duke’s heart but in making her fall for him as Thatcher, the new hired footman and not Hollinbrake the duke.
Then began Thatcher unconventional wooing, trying to show her she must not choose wealth over love, that she must let go of her prim and proper facade to enjoy life at the fullest, and it can’t be without him.
I loved their struggles, him needing to be certain she would choose him for himself and not his dukedom and her fighting her attraction for him because she thought she was doing the right thing for her family.
A wonderful and humorous historical romantic comedy.
” Love Letters From a Duke” by Elizbeth Boyle
Loved this Regency romp written by Elizabeth Boyle and read by Susan Duerden who certainly knows how to read a story. And this was such a fun read. I stayed up later than I should have … because I just had to hear, just a little bit more of the story. I do hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. Happy Reading ! !
Note: I received this audio book as a gift. This is my honest opinion.
Everyone is trying to hide in plain sight and it works really well until the train wreck at the end. It’s a really fun story and worth the ticket to ride.
