England 1803: Lady Christina Beaumont, daughter to the EARL OF WHICKERTON, is not one to sit idly by while injustice unfolds. With her best friend on the verge of being sacrificed in marriage to a notorious scoundrel, Christina is determined to thwart the union. This man, a stranger to the genteel art of high society, possesses nothing more than a charming smile and a calculating gaze. His true ambition? To claw his way into London’s elite through marriage. But he hasn't met Christina yet. Her plan: orchestrate a rescue so daring it might just land her in the society columns.
In the game of marriage, love is the wild card.
Thorne Sharpe is a man who made his fortune in the shadows of society, rising from the gritty world of bare-knuckle boxing to the cutthroat game of investments. Now, with a fortune at his fingertips, he seeks a match that will grant him the social standing to effect real change. Yet, his intended is not the one who captures his interest; instead, it is her fiery friend, Lady Christina, whose scorn is as intriguing as it is incessant.
He crashed her plans, she stole his heart.
As Christina's schemes unravel and Thorne's plans take an unexpected turn, both find themselves entangled in a game of love and deception. With every encounter, their mutual animosity becomes strangely akin to attraction.
Christina must navigate the treacherous waters of London’s high society, all while protecting her friend and guarding her own heart against the very rogue she despised. Meanwhile, Thorne discovers that the line between villain and hero is as thin as the veil at the altar.
All's fair in love and schemes.
As the stakes get higher, will Christina's mission to save her friend lead her to ruin, or will Thorne’s pursuit of influence reveal a path to something even more unexpected—true love?
EldaPsychic grandmothers, the prejudiced ton, love at first sight, unbidden tears, homeless children that pull at your heartstrings, kidnappers, and that's not all. That irritatingly magical kiss! Ooo la la!

A very unusual story of a woman, Christina, doing anything in her power to protect her friend from a “ horrific match. Thorne is a self made man who wishes to army into the ton to help those who can’t help themselves. I loved the range of emotions that were threaded throughout. I did feel some of the writing was repetitive, but all in all an adorable, sweet story. As always, Grandma Edie is a feisty delight and I adored Samantha!
A delightful enemies to lovers romance. Christina is determined to protect her friend from an unwanted marriage but how far will she go and what will she do when she discovers he is not the ogre she thinks? Loved this story, the characters, the family element and the adorable little girl Samantha.

I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.
I know this is the end of a series, but there are still 6 sisters left unmarried - that to me is a cliffhanger 😉. I enjoyed the story with a hero that who switches from confident to unsure several times. The heroine only has one goal - to keep her sisters safe from her gambling drunkard father. They meet because she does matchmaking and he needs help with one sister who had been jilted. There was steamy scenes but they were well written.
I enjoyed reading this conclusion to the Gentleman's Guide to Courtship series! Samuel, looking for a practical Ton marriage, hires Lady Emma for her matchmaking skills. I loved watching the love develop between these two. Marvelous read! I would recommend this as well as the previous books in the series.
I loved, loved, loved this series. In the final book, Emma is determined to start her life over in London. Samuel has a secret that could ruin his future wife, whoever that may be. This author writes with such creativity, humor and skill that once you pick up her book you don't stop until the very last period shows up on the page. Full of adventure, romance, excellent characters, stunning plot and more. Never let an opportunity pass you by to own or read her books.
Charlie Lane never disappoints. Dukes Court for Keeps pulled me into a beautifully written romance filled with longing, wit, and just the right amount of potential for scandal. The dynamic between the Duke of Clearford and Lady Emma Blackwood was both charming and emotionally rich, with moments of quiet intimacy that spoke louder than any grand declaration.
Beyond the romance, I also appreciated the layers of intrigue woven throughout the plot. A missing sister, a mysterious library, and a trip to Scotland all added a sense of adventure that kept me engaged without overwhelming the character-driven heart of the story. And, of course, the only one bed trope was executed perfectly, with just enough tension to make my heart race without feeling forced.
Overall, this is the kind of book that lingers in your mind after you turn the final page. It’s smart, romantic, and deeply satisfying—perfect for readers who love stories where love grows in stolen glances and unspoken words just as much as in grand gestures. Great end to a series!
I received an ARC from the publisher. This is my honest review.
