![]() ![]() Her ability to portray the emotions of the characters brings them to life. ![]() It is very well written, and Anne Flosnik gave a flawless performance-she is quite an actress. It is not a story to be easily forgotten. It has some inventive verbal humor, but for the most part is emotionally heart-rendering. The story encompasses a variety of emotions. I love his brother's young heir, who, when speaking to the Duke addresses him as "Uncle", and the Duke replies "Nephew". There is: Lord Walfort, his jewels, the scandalous Duchess of Ainsley and her artist lover with no known last name, his brothers and their ever-growing families. The hero and heroine of the story is the Duke of Ainsley and the Lady Jane Walfort, but the secondary characters play important roles. ![]() The guilt ridden Duke of Ainsley feels he owes his friend and cousin Walfort a debt, but the payment requested even shocked the rake. ![]() "Waking Up With The Duke" is an emotional story about dysfunctional families of the aristocracy, friendships, guilt, regrets, and love. Most of the aforementioned books have little to no actual story. I did not find it objectionable as I do with stories that simply throw in page after page of sexual activity to increase the length of their books, or ones that depict erotic behavior intended to cause sexual excitement. The storyline calls for love-making throughout the book, but unlike many stories with immoderate sexual content the theme of "Waking Up With The Duke" is about begetting a babe. Waking Up With The Duke is a unique story. ![]()
