Sadly, her gambling plan goes awry, and she is forced to call in an old bet with the Duke of Penthurst and recklessly wager (and lose) her virtue. Although the duke doesn\u2019t plan to collect, he keeps Lydia guessing. Then Lydia\u2019s ill-advised attempt to deal with the blackmailer brings Penthurst to the rescue, compromising them both, and suddenly it\u2019s marriage, not simple seduction, that lay ahead. VERDICT A rash, adventure-seeking heroine and an honorable, take-charge hero clash splendidly as passions blaze in this complex story that pairs another marvelously singular couple, brings the bad guys to justice, and cleverly ties up the loose ends&#8230;\u2014to the delight of all concerned.&#8221; &#8212;<em><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';\">Library Journal<\/span><\/b><\/em><span class=\"apple-converted-space\"><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';\">on<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"apple-converted-space\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><em><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';\">The Accidental Duchess<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #1f497d;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wonderful Library Journal Review! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124,"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90\/revisions\/124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madelinehunter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
