Synopsis

"The Duke at Hazard is my dream historical romance: emotional and intimate, but also full of wit, humor, and a lovable cast of supporting characters. The setting feels so vivid and alive, and every single interaction between the two heroes is pitch perfect. I loved every word of this book' Martha Waters

The Duke of Severn is one of the greatest men in Britain.

He's also short, quiet, and unimpressive. And now he's been robbed, after indulging in one rash night with a strange man who stole the heirloom Severn ring from his finger. The Duke has to get it back, and he can't let anyone know how he lost it. So when his cousin bets that he couldn't survive without his privilege and title, the Duke grasps the opportunity to hunt down his ring-incognito.

Life as an ordinary person is terrifying... until the anonymous Duke meets Daizell Charnage, a disgraced gentleman, and hires him to help. Racing across the country in search of the thief, the Duke and Daizell fall into scrapes, into trouble-and in love.

Daizell has been excluded from polite society, his name tainted by his father's crimes and his own misbehaviour. Now he dares to dream of a life somewhere out of sight with the quiet gentleman who's stolen his heart. He doesn't know that his lover is a hugely rich public figure with half a dozen titles. And when he finds out, it will risk everything they have...

Don't miss the second thrilling standalone Regency romance in the Gentlemen of Uncertain Fortune series by KJ Charles...

Goodreads review by ancientreader on July 21, 2024

Road trip, caper, identity porn, only one bed -- oh, and a commoner/nobility romance --> tropey confection. But this is K.J. Charles, so watch carefully for when she uses "the Duke," when she uses "Cassian," when she oscillates between them, and what she does at the very end. Also, I wonder if other......more

[screams like a rubber goose] the above was my review when the book was announced... it stands also lmao @ me wracking my tiny little brain every time a new character was introduced to try and work out if they were subtly mentioned in The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting only for (view spoiler)[Hart and Robin (hide spoiler)] to arrive......more

Goodreads review by Evie on September 22, 2024

One day I might find a KJC book that I am not completely charmed by but today is not that day. This was a fairly simple, but very fun, adventure story following the (slightly delayed) coming of age tale of an overly sheltered Cassian, the Duke of Severn, who found himself robbed of all his belonging......more

Goodreads review by Melanie THEE Reader on August 14, 2024

For the umpteenth time.... KJ CHARLES NEVER MISSES. Full RTC. I just loved this book so much. Cassian, Duke of Severn, makes a wager with his cousin that he can’t survive a month without his ducal privileges and well-meaning but overbearing family and staff. Cassian will also use this month to find th......more

Goodreads review by Marieke on June 06, 2024

I love books by K.J. Charles, especially the combination of wit and pining, both ingredients in The Duke at Hazard. And still … I liked Cassian’s and Dhazell’s story; I just didn’t love it. Situations that should have made me smile didn’t do anything more than sometimes pull up my lips a little; I lo......more
