Fun Christmas romp

It starts out as an experiment. Can science overwhelm common sense? This series set in a Christmas village, where Christmas is celebrated every year is a little silly with the Christmas metaphors, and yet its still fun. Once you get past the first chapter, the rest of the book is delightful. ( )

This series is off to a great start with this second book in the series. Penelope is a chemist who has created a cologne for men which attracts women. It is such a succss that she is now working on a version for females. Who better to test her perfume on than a famous rake - Saint Nicholas.
With witty dialogue and an most intriguing concept of a rake being out played Erica's crazy cast of characters make you want to continue reading more and more of this series.
I received a free advanced copy of this book.

Kiss of a Duke by Erica Ridley
12 Dukes of Christmas #2

Penelope Michell has created a fragrance that has women swooning when men wear it. The scent has leveled the playing field so that women are able to get to know men who might otherwise be overlooked. There is one man who is not happy with this because he, a rake of renown, has found the competition increased and feels it is not fair for these men to have it so easy…pot calling the kettle black, perhaps? So, Nicholas Pringle sometimes referred to as St. Nick is out to remove Duke, eau de toilette for men, from the market any way he can and THAT means getting close to Penelope.

What a delightful story of two people getting to know one another. They find out so much about one another that has been somewhat hidden, are wonderful together and certainly deserve their happily ever after! I had no idea how one could have 12 Dukes of Christmas when I heard about the series but am thoroughly enjoying each story as another Duke is revealed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
