Tamsin Palmer, the widowed Duchess of Clevesly, craves to
be accepted by the ton. She is accustomed to being snubbed because of her
common blood. Tamsin learns that her late husband has assigned a co-guardian
for their young son. The handsome German count is overbearing and vexing;
however, Tamsin cannot ignore the chemistry between them. Is a relationship
possible for them? Will Tamsin give up her newfound freedom for Christian?
Christian August, Count of Rauchberg, travels to London
to fulfill an obligation to his late cousin. He promises his royal uncle to
find a suitable wife while there. Christian never expected to encounter a woman
quite like Tamsin. She is all wrong for him. However, Christian cannot stop the
growing attraction between them. Will family responsibility force him to give
Tamsin up? What will Christian give up so he can have her in his life?
I admire Tamsin’s ethics. She yearns to be accepted by
the ton. However, there are some aspects of their lifestyle that Tamsin will
not follow. What I adore the most about Tamsin is how she goes head-to-head
with Christian. he is done allowing men
dictate her life. Tamsin willingly stands up to Christian when his overbearing
views clashes with her, especially about the raising of her son.
It took me a while to warm up to Christian (but I
eventually did!). He thought his way was the best, and only, way. That annoyed
me. I know Christian meant well. What I love the most about Christian is how he
disliked witnessing the English nobility ostracizing Tamsin. He understood the
stress and pressure that put on a person, having witnessed it before with his
mother.
THE DUCHESS TAKES IT ALL is a standalone historical
romance by Michelle McLean. This book does loosely tie in with FOUR WEDDINGS
AND A DUKE. The characters from that novel make frequent appearances throughout
this story. It is not necessary to read FWaAD before this one. However, it is a
fun and delightful read.
I like how the author chose a German aristocrat. It is
not commonly used as French or Russian. I am not too familiar with German
nobility. And since I have German in my ancestry, that angle made it more fun
and interesting for me.
