“An endearing love story with wit, heart and fire.” – Bree Wolf, USA TODAY Bestselling Author
A scandalous countess plays matchmaker, for a man she once longed to take for herself.
Georgiana Whitcomb, Countess Winterbourne, with nick name as the Ice Countess for her rebellious ways and refusal to marry again. But a scandalous Christmas wager of Georgiana’s childhood obsession changes everything.
The demanding duke needs a bride.
of
Dexter Munro, days from becoming the Duke of Markham, made a promise to his dying father to find a wife by the Twelfth Night. Except the only woman he’s ever desired has vowed never to marry again. Not even to become his duchess.
Georgiana and Dex share a sizzling attraction and a wicked past. But is their scorching passion enough to melt the Ice Countess’ heart?
If you adore sexy Dukes, feisty Duchesses, and a steamy second chance romance set in the magnificent Regency era, The Ice Duchess is the historical for you!
This book was previously published in the A Scandalous Christmas anthology.
About the Author:
Award-winning author Tracy Sumner’s storytelling career began when she picked up a historical romance on a college beach trip, and she fondly blames LaVyrle Spencer for her obsession with the genre. She’s a recipient of the National Reader’s Choice, and her novels have been translated into Dutch, German, Portuguese and Spanish. She lived in New York, Paris and Taipei before finding her way back to the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
When not writing sizzling love stories about feisty heroines and their temperamental-but-entirely-lovable heroes, Tracy enjoys reading, snowboarding, college football (Go Tigers!), yoga, and travel. She loves to hear from romance readers!.
The Ice Duchess Review:
I have not read the series yet, so I wondered if I would enjoy reading this book without knowing anything about the characters. “The Ice Duchess” turned out a quick, fun read and made me excited to read the series someday.
Firstly, I admired how the author wrote both the leads. Both Dex and Georgina are distinctive and bring their own to the tale. I particularly adored Dex and how he tries to win Georgina’s affections. It was beautiful to see how they reminisce about their past and reform a friendship. Similarly, Georgina is a complex character as she finds herself broken and builds a wall around her. I liked how the author wrote about her past and how living as a widow changed her perception of romance.
Moreover, the two also share some beautiful moments as Georgina tries to get over her feelings from her first marriage. Some of the memorable moments in the story for me were the Christmas scenes and the five days they spend together before heading back to London. The author has a lovely talent for romance, and I enjoyed the chemistry between the two characters. I also liked the supporting characters like Sophia and Hildy.
Overall, “The Ice Duchess” is a lovely historical romance that you can read even as a standalone. It is also a quick read as it is short and focuses on the liaison between the two leads without unnecessary drama.
