Trade Review"The first in Carlyle’s new Love on Holiday series is catnip for lovers of small-town love stories, with engaging character development and a driven heroine. The beautiful Cornish scenery and botanical details are grace notes on a slightly spicy but mostly sweet story, and readers will look forward to future vacations in the series. A charming Victorian romance by the sea." — Kirkus Reviews "With its charming Cornish setting, lively writing enhanced by a blithe sense of wit, and a memorable cast of characters, Duke Gone Rogue, which kicks off Carlyle’s Victorian-set Love on Holiday series, blossoms into an absolute delight." — Booklist “Christy Carlyle is a historical romance lover’s dream.” — Tessa Dare, New York Times bestselling author "Carlyle spins an engrossing Victorian romance... With this story of two damaged people helping each other find their way back to the light, Carlyle offers readers a charming diversion that holds extra weight thanks to her characters’ tragic pasts." — Entertainment Weekly “Carlyle’s first Duke’s Den novel is a seductive mid-19th-century romance that crosses classes and other boundaries with aplomb. Fans of historical romance will adore these characters and eagerly anticipate the next installment in the series.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Christy Carlyle writes poignant, genuine characters who will melt your heart and keep you turning pages long past your bedtime. A Duke Changes Everything is a beautifully written tale I couldn’t put down.” — Kelly Bowen, New York Times bestselling author Praise for Anything But a Duke: — “Carlyle inventively incorporates a Victorian riff on the concept of Shark Tank as well as the hero’s hunt for his own past into the engaging plot of the second quirkily different and splendidly sexy addition to her Duke’s Den series.” — Booklist
