The Lost Duke of Wyndham is an excellent British historical. The companion book, Mr. Cavendish I Presume, was just released yesterday and I'm really looking forward to reading it.
The Lost Duke is Jack Audley, a charming rogue who we first see holding up the heroine's coach. The title of the book gives away the fact that he is actually the Duke, so there is not much suspense there, but I found the book to be a real page-turner anyway. The characters really shine in this book and their banter is both amusing and emotional. It was not only the hero and heroine who were fascinating, but also the secondary characters like Thomas (who after years of holding the title turned out not to be the Duke, but only Mr. Cavendish) and the nasty old grandmother.
This is a fast, fun read with a hero you will fall in love with. I'd rate it 8 out of 10.
