Didn't like this book at all. I bought it mainly because of Jeanine Frost. I love her books. This turns out to not be one of them. The other stories seemed quickly put together just to get the book out. Can not recommend this one. ( )

Three and a half stars for "Four Dukes and a Devil", an anthology from Avon romance authors Cathy Maxwell, Elaine Fox, Jeaniene Frost, Sophia Nash, and Tracy Anne Warren. The best thing about this anthology is its mix of contemporary and historical, racy and sweet, and both vanilla and paranormal settings. Something for everyone.

The Irish Duke by Cathy Maxwell spins a tale of a penniless noblewoman who turns to match-making to support herself. When one of her best selling 'hooks' adversely affects a new Duke, he decides a face-to-face meeting is necessary!

The Duke Who Came to Dinner is Elaine Fox's story of a possible ghost...or a possessed dog...or neither. Not scary, just a little spooky contemporary.

Jeaniene Frost's Devil to Pay pits a determined vampire against a man possessed by an ancient demon. He's made the decision to kill the demon by killing himself...she's determined to save the man and kill the demon.

The 'Catch of the Century' finds his most unlikely match in Sophia Nash's story of the same name. He never expected to find his perfect woman walking beside the road...with three young boys trailing in her wake.

Finally, a May-December historical from Tracy Anne Warren in Charmed by Her Smile. When she accosts him and solicits his assistance to save her from a persistent suitor, the Duke is intrigued. But she's much too young for him...right?

Fun reading that makes it hard to pick a favorite. ( )
