They say time heals all wounds ... but what of those left by love?
Having barely survived the fire that killed his family, Joshua Wainwright reluctantly begins his reign as the new Duke of Chichester. He is still recovering from his burns when he returns to Wisborough Oaks, the family seat in Sussex where the fire occurred. With reconstruction underway and a backlog of estate business to complete, the very last thing Joshua can handle is the sudden appearance of Lady Charlotte, the daughter of the Earl of Ellsworth.
Once betrothed to Joshua’s older brother, Charlotte has spent her entire life training to be the Duchess of Chichester. Now that the man she was supposed to marry is dead, Charlotte is determined to marry Joshua, for despite the horrific scars that require him to wear a mask over one side of his face, she has secretly loved him since her coming-out. Never mind that her father has arranged a betrothal to the Earl of Gisborn!
The duke has no idea it was Charlotte who arranged for his medical care and transport to London after the fire. Given his scars and the gossip mongers in London who refer to him as “His Grace with half a face”, he’s determined to spare Charlotte from having to marry him, even if she feels duty-bound to do so. But Charlotte, hiding a hideous scar of her own, will do whatever it takes, including seduction, to secure a marriage to the man she loves.
Will Joshua’s apparent indifference send her into the arms of the earl who has come to claim her? Or will Charlotte choose a different path? Love proves it can heal even the deepest wounds in "The Grace of a Duke".

About the Author
A self-described nerd and lover of science, Linda Rae spent many years as a published technical writer specializing in 3D graphics workstations, software and 3D animation (her movie credits include SHREK and SHREK 2). An interest in genealogy led to years of research on the Regency era and a desire to write fiction based in that time. Now running the front office of a busy print shop, she's developed an appreciation for pretty papers and spends time using them in her scrapbooks. She can frequently be found at the local cinema enjoying the latest movie. During the winter, she hosts several junior hockey players, and an indeterminate number of tropical fish live with her year-round. She makes her home in Cody, Wyoming.

It was a pretty good story
By Sandy Milan
I see the other reviewer didn't say much about the story so I'll give a brief summary: Firstly this in the second book in a series and I hadn't read the first but it wasn't necessary for me to do so. In fact I doubt I'll bother to go back and read as it doesn't intrigue me. Our H is a Duke who is still basically recovering from severe burns he received in a fire at his home. He was injured trying to save his sister but he was unsuccessful and all of his family died in the fire except for him. He had been the second son but as his brother died in the fire, he became the duke. His face and entire one side of his body was damaged by the fire but you get the feeling that he is still very attractive and he is definitely attractive to the h. The h has been in love with the H for years despite being engaged to his brother, an arrangement made between their fathers 18 years previously. Our story starts 6 months after the fire when the h arrives at the H's estates and claims that they are now engaged because he is the duke, and the betrothal arrangement now applies to the two of them. The H is reluctant for all sorts of reasons but mainly because he wants to marry for love and doesn't believe the h loves him. The story is long and complicated and not a 'light and fluffy' read. In fact the secondary romance between the H's steward (the H's best friend) and his lady was for more romantic and loving than that of the H and h. I wonder if the author didn't overplay that relationship to the detriment of our main characters at times. We do go through loads of drama before we get our hea but I was rooting for our guys. So despite some particularly stupid actions on the part of the H towards the end we eventually arrive at a satisfying conclusion. There are a number of steamy scenes but they are mainly between the secondary characters.
I'm intrigued enough by the characters of the next book, so I'll definitely be buying it when it comes out.

A Wonderful Romance
By Jackie R.
I have now read the first three of Linda Rae Sande's Historical Romances. I didn't read them in the written order, but it was fun and a mystery to figure out how The Grace of a Duke fit in between the first and the third of the series.
The accident that causes the death of an entire family, other than H, is descriptive and very believable. Due to the fact that she was actually betrothed to his brother at the age of 2, the H & h assumed the other wasn't really attracted to them for various reasons. As the story unfolds and the romance grows there is a point that one is afraid they might not end up marrying.
When the second fire at the dukedom takes place, the reader has to wonder if the two incidents are related and if so why.
There is just the perfect amount of romance between the two main characters and also between other couples in the story. Tastefully done!

His Grace With Half A Face
By Elizabeth Bennet
This book will stay in my heart for a long time. Joshua Wainwright the new Duke of Chichester puts you in the mind of the Phantom Of The Opera. His left side of his body and face has been burnt so he wears a leather half mask that ties to his head.
The emotion Joshua feels when he remembers how his mother always had a smile for him. His pain during his recovery was unfathomable but the part that really got to me was his last moments he spent with his sister. My nose was running, eyes watering it was a very powerful image that the author produces in your mind.
Charlotte shows up at his door step and announces she's his betrothed. She is just what he needs to move on but he's afraid to trust her. I loved how she stuck by his side and there were times he was right down cruel to her. I enjoyed watching them little by little take steps toward each other. How Joshua would brush her hair and help her sleep, when really it was the other way around.
The secondary characters had there own story unfold at the same time. I will warn you that there are some grammatical errors like instead of What have I done? It read What I have done? More than once that was done. There was also words left out. Charlotte refers to her father being at the hospital only it reads her father was at hospital. That was done 6-7 different times.
They are minor things but they do take away from the story which is why I took away a star. I will still go back and read this book again because I loved the way the duke treated Charlotte and the respect he gave her. They did fight and words crossed but that is explained by the internal struggle he has to deal with.
Imagine waking up and reliving your families death and the pain and disfigurement that has taken place. A beautiful woman, who you have loved but knew you could never have because she belonged to your undeserving brother, comes back into your life claiming that she is to be your wife. Villagers spilling gossip about your ugly puss and that you will never be able to hold onto your fiancee'. All your self doubts would come to the surface.
So even though it does take a while for them to finally reach an understanding it is very believable to see them dancing around what was obvious to their close friends. A very beautiful and deep book. There is sex throughout the book I think a total of 4-5 scenes but I felt that they were tastefully done.
