Description from the publisher:

Meet the unforgettable men of London's most notorious tavern, The Wicked Duke.  Seductively handsome, with charm and wit to spare, one night with these rakes and rogues will never be enough...

One Night of Surrender
After one passionate night a decade ago, Valentine Fairfax, Duke of Eastleigh, never forgot Isabelle, the intelligent, witty and forbidden daughter of a head of college at Oxford.  However, since suffering a disastrous marriage to an unfaithful wife, the duke has vowed never to succumb to temptation again.  Until the day he discovers his friend’s governess is the one woman who still haunts his dreams.

Once penniless, Isabelle Cortland has finally saved enough money to finance a school for impoverished girls.  But when a chance encounter rekindles buried desires, Isabelle knows she can’t be a duke’s mistress and a headmistress at the same time.  No longer a naïve girl, Isabelle won’t repeat the past.  Not even for one night of surrender...

MY REVIEW

5 CROWNS

ONE NIGHT OF SURRENDER is the second book in the Wicked Dukes Club series.  Each will stand completely on its own, but why deny yourself any of these wonderful reads?



The chemistry between Valentine Fairfax, Duke of Eastleigh, and Isabelle Cortland, now a governess, was undeniable ten years ago.  Fight it though they both do; it is undeniable again.



I thoroughly enjoyed their story as they each tried to respect society and as Val was a perfect gentleman and respected Isabelle’s request not relight the flames that were so obviously burning beneath the surface for both of them.  More so, I loved Val’s interfering family.  When you’re high enough up the ladder, you can through society’s book to the side and grab the love that is so obvious in front of you.  I only hope his sister, Viola, will be one of the matches made in this series.



ONE NIGHT OF SURRENDER is the first book I have read from Darcy Burke.  I want to thank Erica Ridley for introducing me to her.  I think I have found a new favorite to add to my list of favorites.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
