    20. I need a wife and I think you might be the woman for the job.I truly enjoyed this modern fairytale It is a funny, quick paced, sexy, and romantic story.Obviously from the title, it is about a Duke with a pending title that he may or may not inherit it and the story takes place in New York If you also notice the bookcover and the British flag, you will definitely understand that part of the story takes place in U.K.Ryder Westbury is an aristocrat, a businessman, a playboy but also deep down a rea [...]

Who is this Louise Bay and where the HELL has she been all my life I absolutely LOVE finding new to me authors I love immersing myself in a brand new romance, and it ending up knocking my socks off DUKE OF MANHATTAN was recommended to me from a fellow blogger and the first thing that caught my eye was of course, the sexy suit porn on the book cover I might be in the minority here, but I may prefer a sexy man in a well fitted suit rather than yards and yards of pecs on my book covers And then cam [...]
