TITLE: Loved by a Duke
AUTHOR: Christi Caldwell
SERIES: The Heart of a Duke #4
RELEASE DATE: April 27, 2015
For ten years, Lady
Daisy Meadows has been in love with Auric, the Duke of Crawford. Ever
since his gallant rescue years earlier, Daisy knew she was destined to
be his Duchess. Unfortunately, Auric sees her as his best friend's
sister and nothing more. But perhaps, if she can manage to find the
fabled heart of a duke pendant, she will win over the heart of her duke.
Auric, the Duke of Crawford enjoys Daisy's company. The last thing he is interested in however, is pursuing a romance with a woman he’s known since she was in leading strings. This season, Daisy is turning up in the oddest places and he cannot help but notice that she is no longer a girl. But Auric wouldn’t do something as foolhardy as to fall in love with Daisy. He couldn’t. Not with the guilt he carries over his past sins... Not when he has no right to her heart...But perhaps, just perhaps, she can forgive the past and trust that he’d forever cherish her heart—but will she let him?

I’ve
been a constant follower of Christi Caldwell since I started reading
her books and she has kept my interest without fail. Loved by a Duke was
a tantalizing tale of love, friendship, and loyalty. It’s definitely
one of Christi Caldwell’s best!
“Lady Daisy Meadows.” The lady who refused to stay buried in the proper chambers of his mind.
Lady Daisy Meadows was invisible. She was used to being out of the ton’s sights. She didn’t care much, though. She only wanted to capture one person’s attention anyway. I can’t put into words how much I loved Daisy’s character! One would expect she’d be drunk on her own insecurities and would be playing the traditional damsel in distress role. But Daisy possessed an infectious sense of positivity and vigour that made her unique. Christi Caldwell did a magnificent job in balancing her vulnerabilities and highlighting her strengths.
She’d merely thought his feelings were those reserved for a younger sister. Where she had loved him with a woman’s heart.
Auric, the 8th Duke of Crawford is in search for his duchess. After losing his battle to win Lady Anne’s heart, Auric had to find another woman worthy of his family name. Little did he know that he already had her for more than a decade... There were a number of times in the book when I wanted to hit Auric hard in the head. He was stubborn but I guess it was part of his unique charm and I won’t fall in love with him this much if it wasn’t for his dukish ways. If Daisy was a contrast of vulnerability and strength, Auric was a perfect mix of power and passion. Man, that duke could charm!
She’d tasted of springtime and life and innocence and he’d wanted to drown himself in the sweetness of her.
There was something really special with Auric and Daisy’s relationship. Although half of the time, Daisy was mooning over Auric and Auric was doing everything to fight what he felt for Daisy, there was an unspoken attraction between them that pulled me from page to page. The way they knew each other, the way they reminisced their childhood together, and that fondness that prompted that fiery passion between them.
I must say that Christi Caldwell stepped up on this one! There was more heat and more pull, the story progressed wonderfully, each scene more felt and engaging. Versed with Christi Caldwell’s engaging prose and characters that will keep readers wanting, Loved by a Duke is a sweet and emotionally-stirring story that appeals to every lover of happily-ever-afters!
