About this ebook

He’s betrothed…but not to the woman who holds his heart


She’s hiding from the past…

Hoping to put the shame of her father’s disgrace behind her, Jessica Brentwood is determined to be the epitome of decorum and propriety her first London Season. All is well until she’s discovered naked in the arms of a notorious rake, Crispin, the wicked Duke of Bainbridge.


Though thoroughly compromised—through no fault of her own—Jessica refuses the enigmatic nobleman’s obligatory marriage proposal. She’d rather face certain scorn and ridicule than be forced into a marriage of convenience. Or rather, inconvenience.


He’s avoiding his future…

Betrothed since childhood, Crispin has no interest in wedding the woman he’s expected to marry before Season’s end. The lovely country miss, Jessica Brentwood, holds the key to his heart, though he’s never hinted at his feelings for her.


When they are the victims of a cruel hoax, Crispin isn’t at all unhappy he’ll have to break his unwanted betrothal to marry Jessica. Except, his betrothed isn’t willing to release him from their agreement, and the vengeful villains who conspired to ruin Jessica and Crispin aren’t finished plotting mayhem.


How can he convince Jessica his rakehell’s reputation is mostly conjecture and that he’s adored her from afar? Dare Jessica believe the scoundrel who swears he’s not a rogue and vows he wants to protect her?

Wooed by a Wicked Duke is book 5 in the Seductive Scoundrels series by Collette Cameron. Each book can be read as a stand alone; however, they are so much richer read in order. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Jessica Brentwood is a great character- feisty but vulnerable too. I could relate to her desire for friendship only to be hurt through it all. The hero wasn’t my favorite in Cameron’s line up of swoon worthy males - that place goes to Ansley from The Earl of Scarborough - but still Crispin is quite a handsome, witty devil. You can’t go wrong with a Cameron romance. Looking forward to more.

Collette Cameron has added another engaging read to her Seductive Scoundrels series with Wooed By a Wicked Duke, book 5 in the series. I was thoroughly caught up and engrossed in the story of Jessica Brentwood and Crispin Rolston, the Duke of Bainbridge. They face scandal, a malicious scheme, and a few unsavory characters and yet Ms. Cameron has lightened it all with her witty descriptions and droll humor throughout. This was a delightful and gripping good read. Read it…you won’t be disappointed. I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of this work and offer this voluntary review. All opinions stated are my own.

Crispin, Duke of Bainbridge, hasn’t been able to think of any way to get out of his betrothal. Apparently, his betrothed is as opposed to the match as he is, and she has found a way out. She and her cohort perpetrate a hoax that sees Crispin and Jessica Brentwood are compromised. This should make both of them happy, but things are never that easy. This is a great story. Terrific characters and an interesting plot keep your attention from beginning to end. The Brentwoods and their friends and family pull together; villains pop up from all sides. There are twists, turns, mystery, betrayal and revenge, and definitely a few surprises (the one at the end is a doozy). I thoroughly enjoyed this one and highly recommend it. I look forward to James Brentwood’s story.
