Another book by Ms Burke that you can’t go wrong by. A great start and set up for the Spitfire Club series. I enjoyed the Arabella and Graham worked together to find the swindler that ruined both their lives and how Arabella helped Graham become the duke he needed to be. There was adventure, mystery and romance that kept you reading. There was a few sex scenes that this reviewer skipped as usual and it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the book. I love the secondary characters and the set up for the rest of the series and am now waiting patiently for the next book. I received this book as an ARC and was happy to do a review.

First in a brand new series, The Spitfire Society Features Arabella - one failed engagement, needs to marry money to keep her family out of debtors prison, who wants to become part of the 'Spitfire Society' of ladies who've vowed not to marry, but knows she needs to marry, and Graham - who has just inherited a bankrupt estate and needs to marry an heiress to save the family estate. He's spent his life as secretary, and appeared in previous book, and never expected to inherit as he was a distant relation, but has to retain the properties as it was his father's dream. story builds slowly, and both discover they've been duped in an early ponzi/pyramid scheme. There is definite, strong attraction between the two from their first meeting, you know they'll likely to end up together, but given their issues you can't see how. am looking forward to how this series develops
5.0 out of 5 starsLove makes every thing right in the end.

Isabella and Graham are both such nice people but they are both broke but too proud to tell anyone and need to marry immediately to save their family and property. After meeting accidentally in the park they decide to help each other to recover their money which has been taken by a swindler. Unfortunately they get distracted by their attraction to each other and not just by kisses!. This book is amusing and you get to meet some interesting characters along the way .and eventually love wins.
Graham Kingsley, the new Duke of Halstead, needs to marry an heiress. Arabella Stoke, also needs to marry a wealthy man to aid her family. They both need money through no fault of their own. What a shame they were very attracted to each other, they wouldn’t be able to act on it! Arabella’s friends are trying to find a suitable wife for Graham. The characters are engaging, there is a mystery as to who is the villain and some very passionate moments. This was an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading about the other characters mentioned in the book.

This is a brilliantly written first story in the New series, that follows on from the untouchables series of books, that includes many of the stars from previous books. A very enjoyable read that was difficult to put down
