    About this audiobook

    A REPUTATION AT RISK

    What woman in her right mind would say no to marrying the dashing Duke of Sedgemoor? Miss Penelope Thorne, that's who. She's known Camden Rothermere since they were children-and she also knows she'd bring nothing but scandal to his name.

    Cam can hardly believe Penelope turned down his proposal. But if she wants to run off to the Continent and set the rumor mill ablaze, he can't stop her. Then her brother's dying request sends him to bring home the one woman he thought he'd finally gotten over.

    The only way they'll both get back to London without their reputations in tatters is to pretend they're married during the journey. That means kissing like they mean it and even sharing a bed-until it becomes hard to tell where the game ends and true desire begins . . .

      This is my first book of this author. I regret picking it now and this will be the last one as well. The most worst, dragged out, thoughtless story of this genre. Heroine is portrayed as stupid. Love can be expressed in actions, but all she wants is words, disregarding hero's efforts and feelings. That one star is given for the hero character. And there is the kiddie brainless adolescent love story of heroine's brother. Can't rant enough to get rid if this bad taste. Now I have to find a good read to rejuvenate my brain cells. If you are fan of historical romance genre, i highly suggest not to pick this book.

      I have great time with this authors work and graceful writering style, the stroyline and joy that was completing shared in the characters of the story. Love is beatiful when it is shared, giving in full and welcome with open mind without just trading it for another opporunity. It is some to be cherish, adore the one that loves you back in returns. Love must be revere, esteem, admire, and appricated.

      Dragged on forever. Less dramatics. This novel was stifling and the focus of European propriety during those time would make anyone insane.

      I liked this book, but thought it was a bit drawn out. It seemed at times to be two novellas, what with every other chapter being about the other couple in the book. It was only in the last couple chapters that the two story come together. Of course, the two couples do share a family member, Harry and Pen are brother and sister. But the story between Cam and Pen could've been a novella and I would've been happy. They spent the entire book speaking but not saying anything. I don't know, maybe it was that I enjoyed the last book so much more and had really high hopes for Cam. I'm sure I'll read more of Ms. Campbell in the future as I really like her writing.Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

      "What a Duke Dares" is Book Three in the sensational "Sons of Sin" series from author Anna Campbell. The duke is question is Camden Rothermere, Duke of Sedgemoor. In his youth, Cam was the Marquess of Pembridge, whose questionable paternity haunted the family name--his mother's affair with his "father's" brother made either man his likely sire. His mother was great friends with the mother of the Thorne clan, and Cam was especially close to Peter Thorne and his sister Penelope, known as "Pen". When Cam came of age, the only girl he was inclined to marry was Pen--not for love--he didn't believe in love--but for practical purposes and familial expectations. Pen, whose own family had its share of scandals, didn't share Cam's views on marriage, and to his utter disbelief, she turned down his proposal. Almost a decade later, their paths will cross again. On his deathbed, Pen's brother Peter makes Cam promise to retrieve Pen from Europe and return her to their home and family. Neither Pen nor Cam has ever married, and the relationship which grew from childhood friends to young adult acquaintances begins to show an added element of heated sparks. Is it possible that what began so long ago has now come full circle and will no longer be denied? Pen has always loved Cam--loved him so much that she couldn't marry him when she knew his own lack of love would be unbearable when combined with the societal disapproval carried by both families. Cam has seen Pen bloom and grow from a slender, long-legged girl tagging along with him and her brother to a pretty young woman who had the audacity to refuse his offer of marriage. How can he now convince this exquisite grown woman that their futures belong with each other? It won't be easy, but when a duke dares what he dares...anything is possible! A wonderfully involving romance, made all the more readable by appealing and compelling characterizations. A delight for lovers of historical romance from the awesome Anna Campbell.Review Copy Gratis Grand Central Publishing

      Too much sex. At least most of it is between a married couple

      A standard historical romance.

      On holiday I reread this series. This book held up over the years since I first read it. Cam is the typical entitled Duke who expects Penelope Thorne to accept his marriage proposal. However, Penelope is secretly in love with him and determined not to cave to his demands as long as he doesn't love her back. She leaves to travel Europe until ten years later Cam is forced to find her and bring her back to England because of a promise to her dying brother.Penelope is a lovely heroine, a woman who doesn't succumb to pressure. Cam is not likable at first but evolves to a decent person (though Penelope better keep an eye on him). The story is different; I liked that she didn't just cave because he's a Duke and followed her instincts.
