Prince Kellan Kenningston, Duke of Rockbridge has an unusual date night with his American girlfriend, Brie Sanders.
*This is a deleted scene from my full length novel “Duched” which is the first book in the Duched trilogy.
However, because I wanted this portion to be able to be read as a standalone short story, it has been edited to allow a reader unfamiliar with the series to enjoy it as such. This means if you’ve already read the series, some of the minor details will feel a bit repetitive to you.*
Please NOTE:
This was previously published in the Nuts About You Anthology. If you read it there, it is indeed the same story. (Originally titled: Taco Tuesday)

Laugh till you drop!
A quick, sexy and hilarious novella which was easy and entertaining to read. Watch how an artsy college student and a Royal, cocky pain in the behind find interesting and re-creative ways to make their relationship work. 5 Rompish Stars!

I really could not get into this
Even though this deleted scene from the book goes into depth of how Kellen feels about his American girlfriend in the early days of their relationship, the meat and potatoes of the story was just not there for me. My interest was not peaked at all.

I was desperate to find some short reads to reach my reading goal, so I found this novella.
It was okay, not my fave, maybe cos I didn't warm to the characters that much. I really don't get the "talking directly to the reader" thing.

Cleary attached to another story
It is a scene with characters that have to be known from elsewhere. If you aren't familiar with they from that story, it won't mean much. Just dropping in on two couples out for an evening with an intimate time for the mains in the bar bathroom.

Fantastic
Xavier Neal for another literary win. I thoroughly enjoyed this installment in the Duched Series. I can't wait for more!

Even though I have read the series I still loved this little tidbit of their date on Tequila Tuesday (Taco Tuesday for Kellan) Sexy times and tons of laughs!

I love all things Kellen and Bri. This was no exception. A good "missing piece" if you read the series. And if you haven't, this is a fun, quick read to show you, you should read it.

This is truly just a fun little bonus to the original Duched series, a deleted scene. It give you more of a look back at the characters and shows how Kellan and Brie learn to be creative with their love. Super cute!
