  He’s got big duke energy… 

The Chasing of Eleanor Vane - Sierra Simone
Ajax Dartham, the Duke of Jarrell, has a problem. And that problem is his future niece-in-law. When the clever and capable Lady Eleanor Vane—understandably—runs off into the night rather than marry his horrible nephew, the Duke has a choice. Should he catch Eleanor and return her to her fate—or make Eleanor his own instead?

My Dirty Duke - Joanna Shupe
Violet knows that her father's best friend, the Duke of Ravensthorpe, is the most powerful man in all of London with a reputation for sin. But nothing can stop Violet from wanting to shed her wallflower ways and fulfill her darkest, most forbidden desires...even if it means seducing a man twice her age.

                      An Education In Pleasure - Eva Leigh
As a governess to the Duke of Tarrington, Cecilia Holme resigns herself to a passionless life. Except now the old duke is dead and Owen, the new duke, is very tempting—and much younger. Is the chance to give Owen an education in pleasure too enticing to refuse?

Duke For Hire - Nicola Davidson
As her fiery clergyman father chases away all suitors, Miss Ada Blair is resigned to spinsterhood. Yet while she can’t wed, bedding might be another matter. One man meets all her requirements for a discreet and expert pleasure tutor—Jasper Muir, Duke of Gilroy—but he insists on a very wicked contract…

The Duke Makes Me Feel... - Adriana Herrera
Dukes and their demands are nothing new for Marena Baine-Torres. Her newfound success has her little apothecary teeming with ill-mannered aristocrats. But as tiresome as they are, she needs the business. When the unflappable Duke of Linley storms into her shop and makes her an offer she’d be a fool to refuse, Marena soon finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime with a man who is as infuriating as he is intriguing.


      

Review:

3.5 stars
***

Duke, I'd like to F... is a sexy historical romance anthology from some of the best authors of the genre. This was a pretty good anthology with enjoyable stories. The stories all felt deliciously long and practically full length novels. There are a several stories I really liked and a few that were just okay to me, so I am rating this book 3.5 stars. In general, I liked this anthology and felt it was worth reading.

Here are my thoughts about the stories:

The Chasing of Eleanor Vane by Sierra Simone- 3.5 stars. This story was pretty good. It was definitely very sexy, but I didn't love the nonmonogamous feel. I also am not a huge fan of a man still grieving his dead wife after so many years. But I still found the story entertaining. I wish it had an epilogue.

My Dirty Duke by Joanna Shupe-3.75-4 stars. This story was quite good. I enjoyed this one a lot and I think it was my favorite of the bunch. I really liked Max and Violet. I was a little turned off that Violet was the pursuer at first, but their relationship soon evened out. They had great chemistry. The couple were sweet and sexy and turned out to feel like equals to me.

An Education In Pleasure by Eva Leigh- Was not able to finish this story. It just wasn't my taste.

Duke For Hire by Nicola Davidson- 3 stars. This story was only okay to me. I didn't really enjoy the writing style. The speech is formal and usual historical speech. But the modern sex-talk slang felt jarring and did not fit in. I didn't really feel love developing along the way, but I did feel the love between the couple at the end. I did find the story entertaining in general, even if it was not my fave.

The Duke Makes Me Feel... by Adriana Herrera- 3.5 stars. I liked this story. Marena was a POC and a strong, smart heroine. I really liked her and Arlo. They had great chemistry and banter. This was a good read, I just wanted more. The story was good, but the ending felt rushed and I wanted an epilogue. I would love if this story was written into a longer, full book.

Overall, this was an enjoyable book with lots of spicy, sexy fun. There is a lot of variety of stories and authors in this anthology so there is something for everyone. It is definitely worth picking up!
