Bewitching the Duke
Only Her Desire…
After losing his wife in childbirth, Colin Barrett, Duke of Northrop, does not trust healers. So when he discovers Selina White cleansing his home, he is livid. As duke, Colin is accustomed to his charges taking orders from him. But the fiery Selina has the audacity to defy him when he asks her to leave his lands. More infuriating, he cannot stop thinking about the seductive sway of her hips when she walks.
Can Heal His Heart…
The sick tenants of Northrop Park depend on Selina, and she’s not about to let a man tell her she must leave her village—even if he is a duke. And while Selina does not fear Colin’s temper, she is afraid of the secrets she keeps from him and of the desire he sets off in her every time he is near.

I cannot put my finger on it but there was a weird element to this story. Maybe it was because I have never read about a healer heroine, I have read many books where the heroine takes care of the sick hero, but here the heroine is really a healer. Or maybe the weird thing was the American feel of it. Or maybe it was the writing style. I don't know.
The story was good, the enimes to love trope was cool, you can already see who will end up with whom in the whole series, but I am not sure I will continue reading it. I find it quite unimaginative when 3 friends ends up marrying 3 friends.

Thank you, NetGalley and Kensington Books, for giving me the opportunity to read BEWITCHING THE DUKE by Christie Kelley.
This summary pulled me right in:

...
Unfortunately it didn't really hold my attention. This is supposed to be set in England in 1814 and the language kept slipping into a modern vernacular. It kept stopping me in my reading tracks.
For example, one character is fixing his fountain and asks for a WRENCH. First, they are called "spanners" in England, and second the "wrench" was patented about forty years AFTER this book is set.
Also, there were all of these "reveals" where we had been led to believe one thing, and suddenly either Colin or Selina would say, "Oh, that's not quite the way things were." It was like the plot lines would change in the middle of the story. As if the author would think: Let me ADD this little twist.
It was hard to follow along; I felt like I needed a checklist.
And when the intimate moment happened, I was all: Really? Like THAT? What was he thinking?
I was thinking that he needed a good stiff kick in the nether regions and then I rolled my eyes.
What this boils down to is that this author apparently didn't write this particular book for me. Others will more than likely love it. I just did not.

Colin Barrett, Duke of Northrop, is forced to return to his country home and attend some matters so all is ready for a upcoming wedding. He has avoided the place for eight years following the death of his child and wife due to, he believes, the ineptness of the local healer. So when he awakens to the healers daughter cleansing his home, he is irate...but the sassy lady captures his attention. Has she no sense of propriety? Women wear their hair bound, not loose around their shoulders. They wear shoes and don't let the toes peak out and they do not show off their calves at the lake. Having Selina White on his lands causes him to much pain as every time he sees her he is reminded of all he has lost due to her healing ways. He finally orders her off his lands but Selina takes her wise woman ways very seriously and will not abandon all the tenants when they need her as the local doctor is normally drunk and unreliable. With a crazy plan created with the help of the servants, who adore her, she stays put but the arrival of Colin's family causes Selina and Colin to spend more time together. As love and passion bloom, can Colin let go of the past and find a bright new future, especially after Selina reveals a long kept secret?
This was my first Christie Kelley book and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be exploring her backlist! The sparks fly immediately between the willful Selina and the reserved Colin and I loved watching them fall for each other. Colin is very bitter about his wife and childs death and feels that a proper doctor would have been able to help them and they would still be alive so he is torn about the new feelings he is having for Selina, the first since his wife died. Selina slowly finds a place in his heart and life by showing him the value of his tenants, whom he has basically ignored all these years, and also showing a stronger feeling of love that he ever felt for his wife...which also scares him. The plan created by the servants is a bit silly and I find it hard to believe that Colin did not figure it out but it did not overwhelm the storyline, thankfully. The addition of his sister and stepmother and a nice sense of family and I loved how they reacted to Selina, it was a refreshing change of pace about the differences in class. I thought I had guessed the secret that Selina was hiding but I was a bit off so that was nice. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I hope we get to see some more stories with the other healers introduced! A fun, sexy, heart warming, smart, sassy, intriguing read! 4 stars

Excellent read! Can't wait to read the next book in this series. Loved The heroine. I struggled a bit with the hero, but the author totally redeemed him by the end.

A 3.5 star read. The H is grieving the loss of his wife and child and the h is the healer who attended the birth. He does not know, but mistrusts healers as a result of their deaths. His grief has made him selfish, does not care about his estate or his people and this seemed OTT after 8 years. There were good elements, H's sister and friend added interest. Good to see H step up and not care about marrying out of his class.

Irate, that the daughter of the woman he blames for the death of his beloved wife is in his home, he casts her out of her home and his lands.
The tenants are having none of it. Selina has been there for them. She has cared for all their sick and helped them through times when the Duke has abandon them to escape his pain. They secretly hide her in his estate, on the third floor. He keeps running into this vivacious and intriguing young woman on his lands and he can’t help but be drawn to her.

There was even some unexpected heart stopping scenes. If you love historical romances, this is the perfect book to read by the warm fire while it warms your spirit.

ini novel series tentang wise woman, dimana sang heroine adalah Selina White , penyembuh di kawasan tanah Duke of Northrop, sang hero yang bernama Collin Barret. Sang penyembuh diminta utk menyucikan rumah sang hero oleh para pelayan sang hero tanpa sepengetahuan sang hero sendiri. Pertemuan pertama mereka setelah 8 tahun tak jumpa adalah di ruang pribadi sang hero dimana sang heroine tdk menyangka kalo sang hero dtg lbh cpt 2 hari dr jadwal yang diberitahukan pelayan kepadanya.
Kebencian sang hero mendapati seorang penyembuh di ruang pribadinya terlebih lagi ingin melakukan penyucian dari hal2 tdk baik membuat sang hero lansung meradang dan menyulut sang heroine juga. Dirinya tdk terima oleh segala tuduhan sang hero dan bertekad untuk mengindahkan segala larangan sang hero. Hal itu yang memicu hubungan keduanya saling tarik-menarik seperti kutub magnet.
Harus gw akuin, sang heroine dalam cerita ini sangat bijak walo terkadang terpicu krn sikap sang hero tapi dia bisa mengendalikan diri serta kepolosannya membuat sang hero terpikat. gw suka chemistry yang ditampilkan, pelan dan hanyut.
Lucu juga dengan adegan sang heroine sembunyi di kamar lantai 3 dalam manor sang hero krn usulan para pelayan yang tdk mau sang heroine pergi meninggalkan mereka. Sang hero bisa ga ngeh sampai berminggu-minggu, kalo bukan karna si Kate (adik sang hero) hal itu tdk akan terungkap.

. I am not really a historical details buff, but there were times where it seemed that the speech was pretty contemporary rather than what would be accurate for the time period. Colin tended to react angrily to everything and Selina tended to ignore anything that didn't fit in with her plans or at least try to find a way around it.

If you pretty much throw all historical norms and culture out the window, it is decent light read. If you can't, skip it. 3*

It was my first read by the author, and I liked the change of scene.
Colin Barrett became a bitter man after the death of his wife and his stillborn son, and eight years later, he still has not overcome his grief and despises the healer or wise woman of his estate.
To please his family, he is back after all these years but not yet ready to let the past go.
So when he is faced with Selina White, the daughter of the wise woman he holds responsible for his wife’s demise, he can’t stand to know she is there, so he decides to evict her from her cottage.
Selina is not the conventional woman expected during this time, she has no care about fashion nor propriety, she cares only for the wellbeing of those she considers her charge. So the Duke’s orders to leave his land is devastating.
I did not see the point of keeping her beneath the nose of the Duke under his own roof as she was more prisoner than if she had accepted to move to the neighboring land. It just favored promiscuity between the h and H.
This aside, I liked how slowly their initial attraction evolved to more, Colin has to pass over his distrust while juggling with his physical reaction to Selina. He is attracted but feels like it is a kind of betrayal as she is the daughter of the woman who is behind his sorrow. While Selina even if she feels the same chemistry, knows that acting on it is only madness. But the more they become close, the more they fall for another but ghosts from their past threaten to shatter their fragile new relationship.
As a non English people, I do understand some words or expressions were not right for this time but for me, the narrative did not suffer from it, I do really enjoyed it.
Why I give it a 4,5 stars rate.

Sbg dukun (tabib) yg sangat dibutuhkan di Northrop, Selina tidak mau diusir serta merta begitu saja oleh sang duke. Apalagi kebencian Colin, Duke of Northrop sangat subyektif dan tidak logis. Jadi Selina bersedia disembunyikan di Northrop Park, di bawah hidung sang duke sendiri.
Colin ini bukan hanya seorang duke yg bodoh (menurut gw), tapi juga terlalu keras kepala kalau sudah meyakini sesuatu. Hal inilah yg mengakibatkannya mengusir Selina. Walau akhirnya Colin merasa bersalah, apalagi sejak Selina mengobati Kate, adik Colin.
Plot cerita sebenarnya bagus dan bisa dibuat sangat menarik. Tapi sayangnya author menarik ulur yg nyaris tanpa konflik sama sekali dan baru hampir di ujung banget, konflik terjadi dan solusinya dipercepat habis-habisan (dan tidak sesuai dgn karakter Colin yg judgmental ini).
Saya gak masalah dgn perbedaan strata seperti di novel ini, romansa antara seorang tabib (druid) ndeso dgn seorang duke. Tapi (banyak tapinya ya gw hahaha)... paling tidak ketertarikan mereka jangan hanya physical saja. Saya gak menemukan hal apa yg menarik pd diri Selina utk disukai Colin selain ketertarikan seksual. Dan saya jadi terusik (bukan sirik ya) kenapa Colin jadi super clingy pd Selina sejak dia menyadari ketertarikannya? Jadi mirip anjing yg mengikuti tuannya. Dan cara Selina mengatasi masalahnya selalu dengan.... kabur .... ala-ala film India, sampai dicariin mati-matian sama Colin. Gak elok menurut gw relationship model begini.
Yasudahlah... berhubung nomor dua udh gw baca duluan, mari kita tunggu nomor 3 diterjemahkan oleh Elex Media.

Good story, but a few issues
I liked the story a lot. Selina was an interesting character and Colin was obstinate without being abusive. I had issue with the spacing. It would shift from Selinas POV to Colins with to transition making it very confusing. I prefer a double space paragraph when POV is changed. Same with scenes and time changes. Selina would be going to deliver a baby, then in the next sentence the butler is telling Colin the baby was stillborn. I love getting to POV’s just give me some transition in between. Otherwise it was a sweet tale, I’m glad I bought the entire set.

One of the most awful books I've read. I still managed to finish it so that goes in its favour. The story does not coalesce. Why do they fall in love ? Except for the sex there is nothing there. The heroine is controlling and weird... he ask twice why she does what she does and both times she gives the same answer but like the hero it's hard for the reader to understand her as well. She seems dishonest, manipulative, too cocksure for no good reason. Did not connect with either of the main characters.
May 1, 2018
This was another story that I had a hard time getting into, so I kept putting it down. The writing didn’t have the feel of a “historical” story. A lot of the writing felt more “contemporary” to me.
Also, like I keep saying, if I’m not connecting with the main characters, you’ve lost me. I was hoping that at least the plot or the setting might save this story, but even there I was let down.
I’d have to say, I read it so you won’t have to.

Both the Duke & the wise woman are fracture by the death of his wife, 8 years ago. While he has gained the reputation of a rake & neglects his estate, she attends to the wellbeing of his servants, tenants & ritual old ways blessing of the land.
His return & demands sends sparks shooting, she will not be remiss in her ancestral duties.
I love her irreverence & his bluster making an interesting enough story.

A pleasant read, something to read when need relaxing as there was no real tension or problem here.
I quite like Selina and Colin, their story was sweet yet predictable. I enjoyed the conspiracy among the servants to hide Selina under Colin's nose but I regretted the lose of this conspiracy after Kate took over and Colin noticed Selina.
The story was far from perfect but it was better from "One Night Scandal" which I read previously. At least, this one is light and sweet

The power of love
Selina and Colin both have secrets that can prevent romance but... A well written story showing darkness can be overcome, tragedy can lead to an unlikely romance, and attractions can't be denied. Secrets, lies, desires, misunderstandings, and revelations make for a great story.

A good Historical Romance. It really made you feel the emotions the characters were going through. It was a fresh story idea with love and pain. Good reading! The sneak peak into the next book leaves me wanting more.

Historical laughter
Great read. I enjoyed reading about Selina and how she helped Colin get over the grief of losing his wife and baby during child birth. She also helped him to interact with his tenants. The Featherstone ladies and Mr. Hart was hilarious.

Three stars!
I liked the ending of this story the most, it felt like it came full circle. However, I did feel that it was somewhat a long winded story.

This book was too predictable, which left me feeling like I wasted my reading time. The story is okay, but there are no twists or surprises.
