So much for the kick-ass heroine I expected from the blurb. She then seethes and plots against Evil Bro (aka ninth Duke of Ainsworth) for the next nine years. Prudence’s douchey brother then forces her to live a quiet life in Bath, where she decides to set up an apothecary with two loyal employees. Our witless heroine, Prudence Haversham, is ruined in society’s eyes when the Evil Bro of the hero gropes her and then blames her for their skanky tryst. How, you might be wondering, is that possible? The answer is just the beginning of the complete ridiculousness that the book spurts. Except, you know, she ends up tattooing the WRONG DICK. The heroine is so pissed that she wants to dole out vengeance by tattooing her enemy’s dick. This might’ve been the first blurb that caused me to click “buy” without reading the excerpt. In turn, the duke proves himself an honorable and surprisingly forgiving man who earns the wary apothecary’s love. No sooner has the vengeful duke traced his abductress to Bath, than Prudence Haversham overturns the duke’s every expectation and intention. Worse yet, she learns this duke is one of four infamously implacable cavalry officers known as ‘The Horsemen of the Apocalypse.’ Unfortunately, she meant to have tattooed the previous Duke of Ainsworth, who tried to debauch her and disgraced her with his lies. At least she will have, if the tenth Duke of Ainsworth ever discovers she is to blame for tattooing him. Miss Prudence Haversham, Bath’s only female apothecary, knows she has a problem. Ducal duties must wait till he finds the culprit and takes his revenge. Though he cannot recall much of the hellish night when he was abducted and tattooed, he cannot forget the waif-like villainess responsible or her haunting eyes. That is, until he wakes to find himself indelibly decorated in a mortifying place and mocking manner. Read this blurb and you’ll see what I mean.Īfter being grievously wounded at Waterloo, Jeremy Maubrey returns from war to find his new life as the tenth Duke of Ainsworth painful, dull and full of obligations. Boy was I glad she did, because reading this book was crack in its purest form. Kaetrin of Dear Author alerted me to The Duke’s Tattoo after I had bemoaned the lack of tattooed dicks in the romance genre.
