Oxford, 1879. A beautiful bluestocking is about to teach a duke a lesson . . .

In return for her scholarship, she must recruit influential men to champion the rising women's suffrage movement.

When Annabelle and her friends infiltrate his luxurious estate, she's appalled to find herself attracted to the infuriatingly intelligent aristocrat - but perhaps she's not the only one struggling with desire. . . Soon Annabelle is locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own. She'll need to learn fast just what it takes to bring down a duke.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Anonim a dat nota:
Not bad, but there were certain elements that were quite confusing. It's not really different from the novels written by contemporary authors that are taking place in the 19th century, except for the more saucier parts.
Descriere
A stunning debut for author Evie Dunmore and her Oxford Rebels in which a fiercely independent vicar's daughter takes on a powerful duke in a love story that threatens to upend the British social order.
Recenzii
I have read the future of historical romance, and it's Evie Dunmore

Charming, sexy, and thoroughly transportive . . . [a] delightful romance
Dunmore's beautifully written debut perfectly balances history, sexual tension, romantic yearning, and the constant struggle smart women have in finding and maintaining their places and voices in life and love, with the added message that finding the right person brings true happiness and being with them is worth any price. A brilliant debut
A wildly entertaining historical romance with a feminist twist . . . I truly adored Bringing Down the Duke
Funny, witty, swoony and feminist . . . I would highly recommend this book!
If you're looking to kick off the fall with a romance, Bringing Down the Duke has our vote!
A charming twist to a classic romance plot . . . there is nothing quite so satisfying as seeing such a man brought to his knees by a beautiful woman with nothing to her name except an inviolable sense of her own self-worth
There is nothing quite so satisfying as seeing such a man brought to his knees by a beautiful woman with nothing to her name except an inviolable sense of her own self-worth

Brilliant and enchanting! Miss Dunmore is about to take the historical world by storm!
One of my all-time favourite historicals
Bringing down the Duke was one of the best books I've ever read - absolutely adored it. Dunmore had me in tears, had me holding my breath . . . the emotion and passion made the book ache and sing

What an absolutely stunning, riveting, painfully gorgeous book! It's going straight to my keeper shelf, and I will be buying a copy the moment it comes out to reread again and again. It's not only the best historical romance I've read in a long, long time, it's one of the best books I've ever read! I adored it!
With just the right blend of history and romance (and a healthy dash pride from the British suffragists that would make Jane Austen proud), I was hooked on Annabelle and Sebastian's story from the very first page. I can't wait for the rest of League of Extraordinary Women novels!
