When Oliver was lost… He found Sarah…Sarah Symmons, a vicar’s daughter from Somerset, has come to London in her first and only Season with one goal in mind. To secure a husband that can provide a life for her family. She hopes only for a comfortable home, not a fortune, nor a title. So when she meets Oliver Lyre, a man who saves her from possible ruin, her prayers seem to be answered. He’s … answered. He’s handsome and kind, and Sarah’s heart pounds when he is near…
If only he wasn’t the newly minted Duke of Lincoln. If only his mother and sister-in-law weren’t dragons of the ton. If only she hadn’t already fallen in love with him when she becomes pregnant… then Sarah’s simple dream may have come true.
And with Sarah comes a whole new world.
Oliver Lyre never wanted to be his father’s heir. But since the tragic death of both his brother and his father, Oliver has inherited not only the responsibilites of the mantle… but the attention of the ton’s matrons and their daughters.
Marrying for love now seems like a dream of the past, until Oliver accidentally saves Sarah one night. She is a breath of fresh air in his otherwise stale world, and when he is forced to marry her, he doesn’t regret it for a single moment.
Until his family asserts themselves into his life.
Once again he is struggling under the weight of his family’s pressure, and there’s only one thing that can save him.
His wife’s love for him… and his for her.
Can Sarah and Oliver overcome the prejudice and hatred around them to be the power couple they are destined to be?

Got bored did not finish it
Couldn’t find it interesting. The conversation and plot seemed redundant.
I enjoyed this book tremendously
Read the whole series and loved this regency romance!
Poor grammar, shaky story line, got rid of it about half way thru the first “story”.
Too much sex
Great read
If an author intends to write a novel set in the Regency period, it would help if she bothered to find out that one of her plot points could not legally have occurred at the time. In this case, the action in question had been illegal in England for more than 200 years at the time this story is set. I’m not English, and I know this. It’s a sloppy, sloppy error.
I don’t like pornography
Sarah’s Duke isn’t a story that blew me away but it was an okay read. If you are looking for something relaxing, not badly written and low key this is the perfect book. I liked the storyline but didn’t connect to the characters. They were both very timid. Too timid. I just prefer characters that stand out a bit more. I had a hard time believing that Oliver would allow his mother and his sister-in-law get away with as much as they did. Sarah was nearly raped and immediately after she was found crying, she was comfortable enough to laugh and joke and instigate a kiss with Oliver? I had a hard time believing that. Also I couldn’t understand how she would be as forgiving as she was. I just didn’t feel the characters were developed enough and that they didn’t stay true to their characters. That is just my opinion though. Other people may like that type of character but it’s not really my thing. All things considered it was an okay read. I decided not to read the bonus short story.
Sarah’s Duke by Fiona Miers is a very short historical romance. Ellie’s Gentleman is a bonus book by Fiona Miers and is included. These quick reads would be a great choice for those with limited reading time. Ms. Miers has delivered a well-written book. The characters are unique and perfect for the stories. There’s plenty of drama and humor to keep readers engrossed in the stories. I enjoyed reading Sarah’s Duke and Ellie’s Gentleman and would be happy to read more from this author. These are complete books, not cliff-hangers.
