reviews for you enjoy. I hope to be back reviewing for you soon but in the
meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy my dear friend, Connie Fischer’s reviews to guide

I present to you a guest review of ONE NIGHT FOR SEDUCTION,
a Wicked Dukes Club novel by Erica Ridley, published April 16, 2019.
Blurb for ONE NIGHT FOR SEDUCTION:
When the Wicked Duke
dares the Duke of Colehaven to find a suitor for an unmanageable ward, Cole
immediately accepts. He's on a winning streak, and besides, how unmarriageable
can a pretty young lady be? He appoints himself bodyguard and duenna, only to
discover his own desires may be the greatest danger of all.
Supposed wallflower
Diana Middleton lives a double life, bringing dishonest businessmen to justice.
Shaking off a meddling duke should be child's play. Yet the more they lock
horns, the more she wants to lock lips. Her scandalous secrets would derail his
political career. But surely there’s no harm in one little seduction…
Meet the
unforgettable men of London's most notorious tavern, The Wicked Duke.
Seductively handsome, with charm and wit to spare, one night with these rakes
and rogues will never be enough…

Review:
London - 1817
Caleb Sutton, fifth Duke of Colehaven, has just entered the tavern known as the Wicked Duke. There, he sees his friend, Valentine Fairfax, sixth Duke of Eastleigh. Another friend. Thaddeus Middleton, is lamenting about the costs to clothe his cousin and ward, Diana Middleton, as she prepares for her season. As she is now 25-years-old, he may have a difficult time marrying her off. So, Colehaven accepts a bet to see that Diana becomes a married woman.
Diana Middleton has no interest in marriage but enjoys making sure that businesses deliver correct items to people and do not overcharge their customers. She goes by the name of Mrs. Peabody as she visits various establishments ensuring their compliance with her demands.
To please her cousin, Thaddeus, Diana agrees to participate in soirees
but manages to slip away and continue to investigate different merchants to ensure their compliance with proper standards of weights and measures. Even so, Diana cannot help but be attracted to Colehaven.
One night, Diana meets Felicity, 24, Colehaven’s sister. It turns out neither of them is anxious to marry because Felicity enjoys learning the mechanics of things. Colehaven had asked Felicity to introduce Diana around. So, both ladies set out to thwart his ideas. When Diana learns of Colehaven’s wager to marry her off, oh hell no!
But more time spent together as Colehaven tries to push Diana out into society more, ends up in the two of them sparking an attraction. Oh my goodness. What now?
This is a well written book with a really good plot. I liked the characters and when a basket of kittens is thrown in for good measure, I was hooked. Cats are my passion. Come along for the fun of this book. The humor thrown in will make you laugh at loud. Well done, Erica Ridley.
