The Debutante and the Duke: A Sensual Marriage of Convenience Regency Historical Romance Adventure (Dukes Come Calling (Seductive Scoundrels) Book 9) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars (949)

What happens when one impulsive act leads to an unexpected, unforgettable encounter?

Rayne Wellbrook doesn’t belong in London’s elite society. Not really. As the step-niece of a powerful duke, she plays the part—while sneaking away for stolen moments of peace, often through the neighbor’s garden wall. When she’s caught trespassing by a rakishly handsome stranger with a Scottish burr and far-too-knowing eyes, her carefully guarded independence falters.

Fletcher McQuinton, Duke of Kincade, is in London on business and determined to return to Scotland as soon as possible—without a wife in tow. Especially not one of England’s spoiled debutantes. But his plans unravel when he encounters the spirited young woman climbing over his garden wall. She’s not what he expected, not at all… and suddenly, Fletcher isn’t so eager to leave.

With meddling family, mismatched expectations, and stubborn hearts in the way, Rayne and Fletcher must decide if they’ll cling to the lives they planned—or risk everything for the love neither saw coming.

From the Author

Dear Reader, 
 
I adore Scottish Regencies or Regencies with a Scottish main character. They combine my two favorite genres. If you've read the other books in my Dukes Come Calling (Seductive Scoundrels) Series, you've seen Rayne mentioned a few times. For those concerned about the historical authenticity of her given name, Rayne dates back to at least the fifteenth century.
 
In THE DEBUTANTE AND THE DUKE, Rayne tells Fletcher her name means song. That is the Scandinavian, Israeli meaning of the name. More commonly, you'll find references to the name in the medieval era and is derived from 
reine or "queen." In Old French, raine meant frog, and in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, there is a place called Rayne, which means a strip of land.
 
As it often does, my muse knew more about her than I did. When I decided she'd love singing because her mother had been an opera singer, I didn't know the name Rayne meant song, amongst other things. That happens so often in my writing now that I have to believe a higher force is guiding me. While Rayne is not the outgoing strong, independent female lead, she is courageous and intrepid in her own way. She doesn't feel the need to prove herself to anyone, and I admire that in her.
 
Fletcher is the quintessential hero, in my opinion: confident, sensitive, and possessing a flirty sense of humor. I tried to create a believable conflict between him and his overbearing mother. People who have warm, loving parents can struggle with understanding dysfunctional child/parent relationships or a parent portrayed as a villain. Unfortunately, they are all too real and far more common than any of us wants to believe.
 
I've mentioned several characters in future books in the series too.
 
Love,
Collette

    Rayne is living with Everleigh, step-aunt, and Everleigh’s husband, Griffin, Duke of Sheffield, after having lived with her abusive guardian. Rayne enjoys being in the garden and sketching the trees and flowers there. When she discovered a set of steps in the wall separating the house next door from Griffin and Everleigh’s. On the other side she found a wild garden, and to her surprise Fletcher McQuinton, Duke of Kincade. Fletcher has leased the house to put some distance from his mother. They were immediately taken with each other. The chemistry between them was strong, and their banter snarky and entertaining. There are some doubts and misunderstandings on the way to what they hope will be a happily ever after.

    Rayne is pretty, sweet, and a bit wary of men. Fletcher is smart and handsome, and unsure about falling in love with an Englishwoman (his mother’s fault). From their surprise, amusing meeting in Fletcher’s unkempt garden to the delightful epilogue, this a light-hearted romantic romp. I thoroughly enjoyed this totally delightful read.

    Will interfering persons or past pain tear them apart ...

    After a disappointing read, I needed something to cheer up my mood.
    And I knew this author would not disappoint.
    There is not much in term of hardship as both main heroes have let it behind but theirs left scars tattooed in their soul.
    Rayne is enjoying her day to day life with her remaining relative, even if she would like to partake less in ton’s events. She is not even sure she wants to enter the marriage mart. She prefers a more quiet approach of life. Thus how she finds herself trespassing her home’s walls to gorge herself in the unruly garden bordering hers.
    Fletcher is in need to put some distance between himself and the woman who brought him to life. Thanks to her, he saw the devastating effects of the worst to expect from a badly matched marriage. Why he vowed to himself to never make the same mistake. A scotsman needs a lass, not a simpering English rose.

    Their chemistry is immediate, and while they are torn between their doubts and inner wariness, not a moment do they second-guess their feelings.
    They just need a little nudge in the right direction and it will come from the most unexpected source.
    The epilogue is much lovely and completes perfectly this sweet read.

    Rayne Wellbrook dislikes living in London. She's attracted to the untamed garden next door to while away her time sketching and singing. Steps on both sides of the wall separating the two houses makes it very convenient. Unfortunately the house is no longer empty. Scotsman Fletcher McQuinton, Duke of Kincaid, isn't looking for an English bride, but his encounter with Rayne in the untamed garden of his leased house forces his emotions and his brain to think otherwise. The opportunities present themselves. A man can always change his mind about marriage. Fletcher, responding out of character, pursues Rayne to make her his Duchess. A charming romance with laugh out loud moments and a beautiful epilogue.

    "He was, she had to admit despite her discomfort, quite the most perfect display of masculinity she had ever seen... shoulder length black hair, his big hands splayed on lean buckskin-clad hips.. " Oh my and a Scot to boot!! (plus he wore a gold earring!)

    Rayne (love that name!) had climbed over the wall of the next door neighbor home which had been vacant, to sketch and read, which was her habit. But who did she find? None other than Fletcher McQuinton, Duke of Kincade, who had leased the house! Their first meeting was enchanting can I say? He was a little smitten although he told himself "She's nae for ye. She's English. A Sassenach." Well he was half English and the attraction was mutual.

    Can I just say I absolutely adore Collette's writing? There is so much to look forward to... her humor that has me laughing out loud (yes the dinner, a carrot and peacock is all I can say), the phrases, description and romantic prose. sigh. I could not read fast enough to see how these two would come together and honestly? Simply magical.

    This was my first book of the series so I didn't know any of the characters. Getting the dukes sorted took some time, then I had to laugh: so many dukes, all of them of the same age and close friends with eachother, their wives friends as well, are just too many coincidences.
    It was love at first sight for the MCs and after meeting her for about five times he proposes, no longer conversations, strolls, or dances to get to know each other. It was just not believable.

    Rayne Wellbrook is convinced she will never find a man she would not be repulsed by - and Fletcher McQuinton, Duke of Kincade arrives to prove her wrong.

    Rayne and Fletcher are attracted from the beginning and soon find that their care a lot for each other.

    However , an ambitious mama seems to separate them.

    Their love story is sweet and is more than just their story - its an chapter in the seductive scoundrels series !

    I definitely liked the MCs, and the vivid descriptive details such as the gardens and clothing were lovely. But somehow the storytelling itself seemed a bit choppy, so it took some effort to follow the relationships with all the friends & relatives named.
