by Amelia Grey (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars (453)

Could finding love be his greatest scandal of all?
The Duke of Griffin has never lived down his reputation as one of the Rakes of St. James. Now rumors are swirling around London that his twin sisters may bear the brunt of his past follies. Hiring a competent chaperone is the only thing Griffin has on his mind--until he meets the lovely and intriguing Miss Esmeralda Swift. In ways he could never have expected, she arouses more than just his curiosity.
Esmeralda Swift considered herself too sensible to ever fall for a scoundrel, but that was before she met the irresistibly seductive Duke of Griffin. His employment offer proves too tempting for her to resist. She can't afford to be distracted by his devilish charms because the stakes are so high for his sisters' debut Season. . .unless one of London's most notorious rakes has had a change of heart and is ready to make Esmeralda his bride in Last Night with the Duke, the first novel in the brand-new Regency Rakes of St. James series by New York Times bestselling author Amelia Grey.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable romance with excellent characters
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017
    Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Last Night with the Duke was an enjoyable start to a new regency romance series with a delightful romance, excellent supporting characters and an adorable dog named Napoleon.

    The Duke of Griffin’s past has finally come back to haunt him when rumors begin to swirl that his twin sisters will be pulled into a scandal during their debut season in order to punish him. As one of the Rakes of St. James, Griffin expected his reputation to follow him, but he never thought it could hurt his sisters. To help keep an eye on things, Griffin hires a chaperone to accompany his sisters to events. Esmeralda Swift was initially reluctant to take on the job as chaperone to the twins, but now that she’s accepted she’s determined to do a good job. Griffin and Esmeralda didn’t expect the attraction that sparked between them and will have to decide just how much they’re willing to risk for love.

    Esmeralda is the granddaughter of a viscount, but after her mother was disowned by her family for marrying an Irish poet, she’s had to readjust to a different station in life. She now spends her time running a governess business and taking care of her younger sister Josephine. Esmeralda is very dedicated to her sister and wants to make sure she has a good life. She’s adapted very well to her new position in life and does a great job running the governess agency.

    Griffin has been spoiled his entire life and is used to getting his way. He’s not used to people saying no and as a result, can be a bit pushy when it comes to getting what he wants. He recognizes that he was a bit reckless in his youth and has tried to be a better man since. Griffin cares deeply about his family and tries to ensure they get the best in life. When he wants to be, he can be very sweet and incredibly charming.

    Esmeralda and Griffin were attracted to each other right away, but due to their employer/employee status, things didn’t progress too quickly. The two have some great conversations and there’s some excellent banter which I loved. On the physical side, there were some great kissing scenes as they tried to resist their attraction, but it was otherwise light on the sexy scenes. The one and only sex scene happens within the last 15 or so pages of the book. As someone who prefers their romances to be more explicit, that was a bit of a downside for me.

    Overall, Last Night with the Duke was a great start to this series and I’m excited to see the remaining Rakes of St. James find love starting with the Duke of Hawksthorn in To the Duke, with Love.

    I love this book! Esmeralda, and The Duke of Griffin. She is the granddaughter of a Viscount, however she is now the owner of a Governess, and Chaperone Agency. The Duke is in desperate need of a Chaperone for his twin sisters come out. However, he wants the much disciplined owner to be the Chaperone, she says no, she has a young sister, her dog, and her business to run. Who wins the battle, better yet, who wins the war? I highly recommend! Thanks! Enjoy!

    Though I enjoyed this book, I felt a bit disappointed with it. The characters were good but did not have a great deal of depth. The story line was weak. The heroine came from a good family but never was reconciled to them. So I felt why continue mentioning them. I will buy the next book in this series and hopefully enjoy it more. I have purchased this authors books and never been disappointed, so I'll give this series a chance This is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 5., which I usually would have given her books.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018

    The duke of griffin has employed a chaperone for his two sisters and Emerald accepted. She hide that she was a granddaughter of viscount and her mother married to who was poor, as usual people with money does not love ❤️ the poor. Emeralda was raised in acristocracy and when her mother was expelled from her family poverty as usual, she and her sister suffer a lot. I do not like to explains how much Emeralda struggle to survive. They went to live with Duke sister and her dog 🐕. The dog play a good part in the story and well the duke had a good share enemies. This story has everything how the society behave tension the main characters and other issues. The only part who I dislike why Esmeralda family does not appear and to know her and discover that she marry well. I recommend this book and I will read the series.

    This novel had so many lovable characters in this the first novel of the series, can't wait to read the next - there are quite a few loose threads hanging so here's hoping that the twins seasons will continue to develop in the other novels - would love for Josephine to get another Napolian, too - the plot kind of fizzled out with the mystery of who was trying to ruin the twins season because I don't think Henry had the balls to cause trouble, he was to busy being a pretty boy - and Hawk's and Rath's characters were not mentioned much in the story, they were supposed to be helping to keep the twins safe I thought
