GRAHAM: THE BROKEN DUKE: AN ILLUSTRATED ROMANCE Review

Graham: The Broken Duke: An Illustrated Romance

A Special Illustrated Edition of The Broken Duke by 10 time USA Today Bestselling Author Jess Michaels

This beautiful special edition of The Broken Duke (1797 Club 3) includes gorgeous photographs by Jenn LeBlanc in every chapter. The text hasn’t changed, but the images will enhance the reader experience. 

Adelaide Longford is London’s most overlooked bluestocking wallflower and that is fine by her. Being ignored gives her the perfect opportunity to sneak out and secretly take on the persona of the most celebrated actress of the day, Lydia Ford. The thrill of walking the boards and hearing the applause of those who watch her is the most exciting experience of her life. 

Until Graham Everly, Duke of Northfield comes into her life. He is broken after the humiliating loss of his longtime fiancĂ© to his supposed best friend and they enter into a lusty affair which sets her body on fire. Graham has no idea why he’s so attracted to both the bespectacled, prickly Adelaide and the passionate Lydia, but soon he is caught in a dance with them both and torn between which future he wants to pursue. 

When Graham finds out Adelaide’s secret identity will he be able to accept both parts of her? And will he be able to save her from a lurking danger that neither of them could have ever foreseen?

Length: Full-Length Novel (70,000 words)
Fully Illustrated: Yep, some of the pictures even include abs.
Heat Level: eyebrow waggle

This book is part of a series (The 1797 Club) but can be read as a standalone novel. A non-illustrated version of The Broken Duke is also available.  (Synopsis from Amazon)


Did anyone else ever read the Italian Photoromances KISS & DARLING in the late 80's?  It was like a movie in a magazine. Please tell me I wasn't the only one!  
Well, this isn't quite the same, but there are wonderful photos of the characters that kick it up a notch. They really add to Graham and Adelaide's tale. Enjoy, y'all!

MY THOUGHTS: 4 STARS

The deliciously daring, secret riddled romance between Graham and Adelaide is kicked up a notch with the addition of photos.

Interspersed amidst the text are photos of the characters, including "live action" shots. The billiard game is a special favorite of mine. Just when you thought Graham and Adelaide couldn't be improved upon, Ms. Michaels and Ms. LeBlanc do just that.

So, if you enjoyed Graham and Adelaide the first time around, find out what pictures add to their story.  
If you've never met them come see what you're missing. Secrets, mysteries, murder, and of course love; of the toe curling variety to be exact. Graham and Adelaide will keep those pages flying.

You may want to consider getting this in print for your keeper shelf. 

I received a digital copy from the author. The expressed opinions in the review are my own.
