From Goodreads
Lady chemist Penelope Mitchell took England by storm with Duke, a perfume for men that has women swooning at their feet. To prove the same aphrodisiacal potency of her upcoming version for ladies, the new perfume must cause a rake to fall in love with her in ten days. And she has just the man in mind…
Sexy pleasure-seeker Nicholas Pringle—known as “Saint Nick” for his wicked ways—wants to end the absurd cologne that has every young buck believing himself a ladies’ man. How hard can it be to charm a spinster into changing her mind? But when Penelope does the charming, this rakish scoundrel must decide between losing the war or losing his heart ....My thoughts
I gave this a 3 stars or 6/10.
This is a gentle romance telling the story of Penelope Mitchell the designer of a perfume aimed at men called Duke that has proved very popular indeed. Penelope decides to design a perfume for the ladies, which she calls Duchess surprisingly enough. In an attempt to show how potent the perfume is, she sets about trying to get a rake to fall for her in 10 days. The rake she has her eyes set on is non other than Nicholas Pringle, his reputation precedes him. Can Penelope get her man or does he have other ulterior motives in mind?
This is the second in the 12 Dukes of Christmas series. It was an easy enjoyable read that took me away from real life for a few hours as I immersed myself in the lives of Penelope and her 'Saint Nick'. I look forward to reading the next in the series, Wish upon a Duke that is already lined up on my Kindle waiting to be read.
