Praise for The Wicked Duke

“I fell in love with Madeline Hunter’s prose in her first book, By Possession, and I have been faithfully following her ever since. That lyrical and persuasive style is in evidence in [The Wicked Duke].... Hunter does a bang-up job.... Marianne and Lance are very complex and well-drawn characters.... I loved their story. . . . I highly recommend The Wicked Duke.” —All About Romance (“Desert Isle Keeper” Review)
 
Praise for His Wicked Reputation
 
“Hunter . . . spins the intrigues of an enterprising bastard son and a resourceful artist to delightful effect in this excellent launch of the Wicked series of Regency romances.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for The Accidental Duchess
 
“A rash, adventure-seeking heroine and an honorable, take-charge hero clash splendidly as passions blaze in this complex story that pairs another marvelously singular couple, brings the bad guys to justice, and cleverly ties up the loose ends—to the delight of all concerned.”—Library Journal
 
“Fueled by an abundance of subtle wit and potent sensuality, The Accidental Duchess . . . is another exquisitely crafted love story by one of the romance genre’s masters.” —Booklist
 
Praise for the previous novels of Madeline Hunter
 
“Another stellar Regency-set historical romance that hits all the literary marks. Hunter’s effortlessly elegant writing exudes a wicked sense of wit; her characterization is superbly subtle, and the sexual chemistry she cooks up between her deliciously independent heroine and delightfully sexy hero is pure passion.”—Booklist (starred review)
 
“Intelligent and memorable . . . as smart and sharp as the best of Regency romances can be. With its tangy dialogue, Pride and Prejudice themes, bits of mystery and nefarious characters, readers may be reminded of Jane Austen.” —Romantic Times Top Pick
 
“Hunter’s books are so addictive.”—Publishers Weekly
 
“Hunter’s flowery centerpiece will suit every romance table. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal
