Lots of fun, more fairy-tale like than many Regencies.

Anthony Hurst, Duke of Kingsborough, falls in love at first sight with a mysterious lady in a yellow gown at the masquerade ball. He tracks her down fairly quickly but then runs into obstacles, an almost-fiancee by the name of Mr. Roberts and a prospective mother-in-law who hates aristocrats.

Isabella Chilcott sneaked into the masquerade ball, wearing a dress she found in the attic. She had a marvelous time despite identified as an imposter shortly afer arrival. What to do, what to do, should she stay with Mr. Boring or seek true love with the Duke? ( )

In full disclosure I didn't finish this book. I just couldn't do it. About ten pages into it I already hated the main female character, I found her to be very shallow. And the main male character was completely unbelievable. In addition the writing style felt juvenile, there was no depth. Still, I forced myself to keep reading, hoping that it would get better. By page 50 I threw up my hands, it didn't improve and I didn't want to waste any more time. I can only hope the book gets better as you go along for those who choose to read it, but this was not the book for me! ( )

I thought this was a fairly good book. I always love books with a fairy tale theme. Anthony and Isabella were a good couple even though she got on my nerves a little bit in the last half of the book when it came to Lady Harriett's scheming. I am looking forward to reading books 2 and 3 in this series to find out what else happened at the Kingsborough Ball. ( )

THE TROUBLE WITH BEING A DUKE: AT THE KINGSBOROUGH BALL by SOPHIE BARNES is an Regency interesting Historical Romance set in 1817 London. First in a new trilogy. Fast paced story of Isabella Chilcott,daughter of a carriage driver and Anthony Hurst, Duke of Kingsborough. A Cinderella story,except the Prince Charming is actually a Duke. Anthony, has found his Cinderella, but she escapes quietly from a Ball is family is having,so the search begins.......Isabella, crashes the Kingsborough Ball on a whim and a dare,so the story begins......Very entertaining as well as intriguing. There are a few dark secrets,that come to light, lots of passion and finding the truth of one's past. Things are not as they appear in the Chilcott house. A great read! Received for an honest review from the publisher and Edelweiss.

"It's time, Mama," Anthony Hurst, the seventh Duke of Kingsborough, said as he strode toward one of the tall windows in his mother's bedroom and pulled aside the heavy velvet curtains, flooding the space with a bright beam of sunshine.
