No Ordinary Duke (The Crawfords Book 1) Kindle Edition

He’s everything she’s trying to avoid…But somehow precisely what she needs…

Caleb Crawford doesn’t want to be a duke. He’d much rather build houses for a living. So when fate disrupts his peaceful life and burdens him with the responsibilities of a newly inherited title, he does what any sensible man would do by fleeing London, disguising himself as a laborer, and seeking refuge with three young spinsters who need his help with a leaky roof.

Ruined by a marquess who promised her the world, Mary Clemens has sworn to avoid marriage forever. Instead, she intends to live out her days with her friends and the orphaned children they’ve taken into their care. But when Mr. Crawford comes knocking, Mary finds herself in real danger of risking heartbreak all over again. Especially when she discovers that he’s not at all what he seems.

USA TODAY bestselling author Sophie Barnes writes historical romance novels in which the characters break away from social expectations in their quest for happiness and love. Having written for Avon, an imprint of Harper Collins, her books have been published internationally in eight languages. With a fondness for travel, Sophie has lived in six countries, on three continents, and speaks English, Danish, French, Spanish, and Romanian with varying degrees of fluency. Ever the romantic, she married the same man three times—in three different countries and in three different dresses.

When she’s not busy dreaming up her next swoon worthy romance novel, Sophie enjoys spending time with her family, practicing yoga, baking, gardening, watching romantic comedies and, of course, reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful romance
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023

Unbeknownst to the Duke, he fell in love with the young woman who had her heart broken by his older, now deceased, brother. It took a lot of convincing her that he really loved her and was not simply toying with her heart. They were a perfect match for each other, married, had five children and opened an orphanage on one of his estates. Great story, well written.

When Mary and Caleb meet it's an instant attraction but when she finds out he hasn't been telling her exactly who he is, that's when his troubles begin and he really has to work hard to sort things out.
Oh my. What a wonderful story this was!! It is so full of human emotions which are really believable that you can totally see each scene unfolding as if you were part of it.
Loved the story, loved the main and supporting characters and am definitely giving this one a big thumbs up!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.25 STARS - SECRETS KEPT
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
Oh, how I dislike stories where one of the main character's are not honest with each other. This went on through most of the story. It ruins it for me, because you know how it is going to turn out - secret discovered, relationship ruined.

That is exactly what happened here. Because I was always waiting for the shoe to drop on their relationship, it was hard to see them as a couple.

There is a twist involving the h that I didn't see coming at all. We have only kissing prior to marriage, lovemaking within. Heat level 1.5 out of 5.

No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, and a small tad of spice. (ljb)

I really enjoyed this book. A quick read that flowed well. The conflict between hero & heroine was not dragged out, which I liked & enjoyed the hero having a plan to solve the conflict.

This was a great love story. I didn't want it to end. I wanted to read more about them after they got married, opened their orphanage and started their family. To my mind, you could have added a hundred pages or more to this story and I think it would have been even better. Keep up the good work on the rest of the Crawford series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start to the series.
Reviewed in Australia on April 2, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed No Ordinary Duke and look forward to more about the Crawfords. The water has captured the feel of the period she writes in but allows us, two centuries on, to understand how it might have been to live in them. As an avid Georgette Heyer fan I'm delighted see an author of this quality adding some of the social realities that have always plagued the human condition, to the mix. Heyer, writing in a different time didn't do that. MS Barnes does and still keeps the romance going. It's great.

3.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of my time reading this novel!!
Reviewed in Canada on November 30, 2018

Not a big fan of this novel - if I could I would give it 2.5 stars, just a passing grade - the story line is unique but dull as dirt - Mary and the Duke are practically dead boring - there is no real adventure or interesting experiences going on - I had to force myself to finish the story - this was supposedly a romance but there was no real spark or sizzle - I will not be reading the rest of the series with what this novel produced

3.0 out of 5 stars Where the Emotion.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2020
Verified Purchase
The basic plot of this book was enjoyable but could have been much better. I thought the Author lacked the passion in her writing not in the story. When I read a book I liked to be completely taken away by the emotions in the story I love to laugh, cry rage etc with this book I wasn’t. That is why I have give. It three stars only I am onto the 2 nd book in this series as I have purchased all three so I am hoping for more in the next book.
