The Duke's Dream by Giovanna SiniscalchiMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a pretty interesting book which deftly weaves historic backdrop of Napolean wars into a steamy romance tale. Helene is a ballet dancer, who wants to make big on the stage. She is also an active member in the French revolution. William is a duke whose political aspirations are pledged to the ruling regime and he intends to become the prime minister. William has been haunted by a nymph in his dreams. The nymph is a spitting image of Helene. As attraction soars, the political ideology comes as a barrier between them. It is a battle between their career aspirations and their attraction.
The tale is filled with political intrigue, the restrictions imposed in the Napolean era and the societal norms which prevent free flow of thoughts. I learnt a lot about the aristocratic era through this book. I enjoyed it very much.
