The Guardian Duke is award-winning novelist Jamie Carie’s most exciting story yet, a uniquely arranged Regency-era romantic adventure where hero and heroine know each other through written letters but have yet to meet.
The Guardian Duke by Jamie Carie is the first book in The Forgotten Castle Series. It is set in early 1800s England and Ireland, embedded into the history and romance of the time and filled with a deep sense of persistence; the type that keeps you in suspense – driven by love and duty.
I love stories placed during this era. There is so much beautiful rich history and depth; Jamie Carie’s story melds very well into the location / time period. The Guardian Duke is about the Duke of St. Easton who is ordered by the King to take guardianship of Lady Alexandria Featherstone, which proves to be a bit more difficult than assumed. Although her parents are presumed dead, Lady Alexandria believes them to still be alive and takes her heart on a journey through the hills of Ireland, the recesses of England in search for them with the Duke – Gabriel – in pursuit.
There is a beauty in this book that goes beyond the typed words and spaces. Although the story starts out at a slower pace, it picks up and you find yourself immersed within, I’m also sure that it is only because of having to get eased into the world that is much different from our own. The letters that are written between the Duke and the Lady are inspiring, I have a fondness for letters and have always loved when they were somehow placed within a story well. I’m not a big romance novel fan in general, but I am a sucker for Regency Era – Historical romance, as most of us are I’m sure!
You can read the review in USA Today, which also gives a very positive insight into the story. This is sure to be another hit for Jamie Carie and I cannot wait until Book 2 – The Forgiven Duke – arrives in July. You will fall delightfully in love with the sense of humor behind the Lady Alexandria as she makes up fancy deceptions and the fondness that grows between her and her curious persistent pursuer. Beautiful. Beautiful.
