title: The Duchess Deal: Girl Meets Duke
author:  Tessa Dare 
description: Sexy, tender, and wickedly funny, Dares newest offering is a spirited tale with a Beauty-and-the-Beast theme and the perfect launch for her latest series. (Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong>)<br /><br />Dare once again works her own irresistible brand of magic by taking a cast of richly nuanced characters, a deliciously clever plot and a generous measure of addictively tart wit, and then she spins the whole thing into pure literary gold. (Booklist <strong>(starred review)</strong>)<br /><br />Youll laugh and cry... while reading this daring reimagination of Beauty and the Beast that is pure romance at its best. Dares gift for crafting humorous repartee is matched by her talent for writing deeply emotional stories filled with steamy love scenes. (RT Book Reviews (top pick))
