One of the huge jokes in the historical romance community is the overabundance of dukes. Everywhere you look, there’s yet another handsome young(ish) duke in want of a wife. So what did these five amazing authors do?

They made an entire anthology with nothing but dukes, baby! Hot dukes! Dukes I’d like to f***.

And wow, buckle up friends, this is going to be a bumpy ride. No pun intended.

But they’re so great together!

As you can see, there’s something here for everyone. I’ve read—and enjoyed something from each of these authors, so I knew I was going to enjoy the anthology, but the offerings exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t even pick a favorite because they were Each and every one of these entries was spectacular—great banter and scorching sex scenes.

I would absolutely recommend Duke I’d Like to F***. Five novellas in one collection—this is not to be missed. This anthology is pure perfection, and a bright spot in a tough year.
