** spoiler alert ** SPOILER ALERT!!!The Scandalous Love of a Duke by Jane Lark had a very good premise and was a sure draw to this Regency Romance book lover. It's about Katherine, who is a poor woman with a questionable background, who has been in love with John, the Duke of Pembroke ever since, having grown up together.I wanted to love this book so much, and I tried really hard. I thought that the chemistry between the H and h was evident and believable. The thing is though, I think that the physical attraction John felt for Katherine was all it had. I don't think it showed the love that he professed to feel. Time and time again, he made these mistakes, which he admits to, but doesn't do anything to redeem himself until the end. Also, he made this realization, when he thought she was going to die. Uh, no.All in all though, I thought it depicted the period really well. It had a different feel to other Regency romances that I've read, in a good way. It felt almost like a modern version of Julie Garwood or Judith McNaught.So, for me, it was just okay, and I give it three stars.A complimentary copy was given for this honest review.
