Accidentally Compromising the Duke

Stacy Reid — 2016

England, 1817. Miss Adeline Hays is out of options. Determined to escape marriage to a repugnant earl, Adeline plans to deliberately allow herself to be caught in a compromising position at a house party with the much kinder man she’d hoped to marry. Instead, Adeline accidentally enters the wrong chamber and tumbles into the bed of the mad duke. Edmond Rochester, the duke of Wolverton, is seeking a wife to care for his two daughters. A young lady of sensibilities, accomplishment, and most importantly, one he is not attracted to—a complete opposite of the bewitching beauty who traps him into marriage. But despite the lust he feels for his new duchess, Edmond is resolved to never allow them intimacy, refusing to ever again suffer the tormenting loss of a loved one. Each book in the Wedded by Scandal series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order. Series Order: Book #1 Accidentally Compromising the Duke Book #2 Wicked in His Arms Book #3 How to Marry a Marquess

Overall nice & sweet, only because I believe there want much knowledge and resources in combatting trauma then.

Stacy is my comfort author.

A nice easy comfort read with lovable characters and a soothingly predictable plot - really enjoyed it!

I loved the idea of a young lady hoping to force her parents to marry her to a man she cared for only to accidentally end up in the bed of the duke. I thought the passion in the book was really great, and I loved the steamy scenes. However, I didn't love the writing and there were some weird time jumps when I would have rather had more time spent in a moment. I thought the characters were good, but I would have loved more from Evie and Westfall or the daughters. I just felt like the story lacked the depth that would have made it a fantastic book. I don't feel like the story was fully told. Nevertheless I still adored the romance.

3.5 stars ✨ So I picked this up in between getting bored of two other books and I have to admit, something about historical romance just scratches this itch that I tend to get 🤣 this was super cute, slightly short for my liking and not super original but I enjoyed it nonetheless! So curious about Lady Evie and Westfall though 👀

I liked the banter but find it overall forgetful

This has one of my FAVORITE first meetings in a romance. Adeline sneaks into a room to get compromised with a sweetheart of hers to avoid an unwanted marriage, starts getting hot with him, then realizes that it's the wrong man! I loved this and I'm such a huge fan of Stacy Reid.
