Narrative Supposing Books The Duke of Shadows

In a debut romance as passionate and sweeping as the British Empire, Meredith Duran paints a powerful picture of an aristocrat torn between two worlds, an heiress who dares to risk everything...and the love born in fire and darkness that nearly destroys them.

From exotic sandstone palaces...

Sick of tragedy, done with rebellion, Emmaline Martin vows to settle quietly into British Indian society. But when the pillars of privilege topple, her fiancé's betrayal leaves Emma no choice. She must turn for help to the one man whom she should not trust, but cannot resist: Julian Sinclair, the dangerous and dazzling heir to the Duke of Auburn.

To the marble halls of London...

In London, they toast Sinclair with champagne. In India, they call him a traitor. Cynical and impatient with both worlds, Julian has never imagined that the place he might belong is in the embrace of a woman with a reluctant laugh and haunted eyes. But in a time of terrible darkness, he and Emma will discover that love itself can be perilous -- and that a single decision can alter one's life forever.

Destiny follows wherever you run.

A lifetime of grief later, in a cold London spring, Emma and Julian must finally confront the truth: no matter how hard one tries to deny it, some pasts cannot be disowned...and some passions never die.

Criticize About Books The Duke of Shadows

Reread 10/28/18: I have no more words nor desire to try to sum this up. Ill keep my 50+ quotes to myself for now. *********************There are a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head. First, I caught this book as a BR - I was having trouble bringing myself to read it otherwise for some reason so it was just the push I needed. I'll probably recycle some thoughts from that forum as well as borrow upon others as a result. Also, spoilering for sake of that... (view spoiler)[So, when I went to

Reread January 2018I have nothing to add. Only: roll on February 27th.**********Original reviewThe Duke of Shadows is the debut book of Meredith Duran, which at the time I read it, simply floored me. How can a debut book be this good? How can history and romance be put into a context where everything just fits into the right places? I came back to reading HRs after a break of about 10 years. When I left the Historical Romance genre, it was all about the fluffy writing style of Julia Quinn and

Im really indebted to my Goodreads friends who encouraged me to read The Duke of Shadows because it turned out to be a very, very good experience. Sometimes, though, the best books are the most difficult to review because they evoke such deep emotions or cause me to examine, and maybe question, my own beliefs. This is one such book.In some ways this is a typical historical romance because were still dealing with British society, protocol, etc., and yet the first part of the story takes place in

Firstly, I must thank Lady Jayne for recommending this wonderful book, and Catherine for endorsing Jaynes rec. For some reason, this excellent read is not one that I have seen come up in discussion very much, or if it has, I have missed it. Given the buzz that surrounds other books, Im surprised this worthy title has not generated more chat and am grateful that it was brought to my attention.The Duke of Shadows is not your average historical romance. It has elements that I adore in romance -

When I read this about four or more years ago, before joining Goodreads, I enjoyed it, but it was a bit too angsty and heartbreaking for me. With this re-read, I decided to move it up a star. Knowing some of the difficult parts ahead of time helped me be prepared and see it for the growth needed in the characters as they battled personal and shared demons. Things I love about this book:1. Emma - she was an independent thinker, who didn't care what others thought, BUT she was still raise by

I read this book because of all the great reviews of Meredith Duran's writing. But after struggling to finish, I realized this book was just not for me. Duran is an excellent writer, and wrote a very well developed plot, but I didn't care for the descriptive violence that permeated the book. At the start of the book, Emma Martin has been through a tragedy, the first of many, and emerged wanting to truly live life. Julian Sinclair, the Duke of Auburn, feels at home neither in India or in London,

You are not the only one who took that journey4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars. A fabulous Read!!! I always liked Historical Romances, no matter how complex or simple the story is, I always liked its essence. But, This Historical Romance is something else. AND I loved it.The first part of the book holds in Indian Subcontinent and the second part is on British land. The plot is based on the Sepoy mutiny of British Raj in 1857. I loved the story. I liked Emmaline but I loved Julian. Emmaline is
