Stone Devil Duke: a standard but enjoyable romance novel


Stone Devil Duke by KJ Jackson is the first book in the Hold Your Breath series. It is the love story of Augustine “Aggie” Christopherson and Devin Williams Stephenson, the 12th Duke of Dunway. Aggie is on a quest for revenge after her father is murdered and her older brother goes missing. She is on the hunt for the killers when she meets Devin, who is immediately intrigued by her. Although they resist each other, they soon find themselves drawn together by when a misunderstanding of impropriety. Soon it becomes apparent there is someone out there who wants Aggie dead. As they learn about each other’s past, still on the hunt for those who want to harm Aggie, the two began to heal from the past and fall in love. Will they find the man behind her father’s murder? Is her brother still alive?


Stone Devil Duke is a standard romance novel which was followed the typical formula. The heroine/damsel in distress is a bit unconventional which draws in the roguish man who most of society would have told her to stay away from. That being said, I still enjoyed Stone Devil Duke. I loved the interactions between Aggie and Devin. I like the drama around the mystery of who is behind Aggie’s father’s murder and who is after her. There are two other books, Unmasking the Marquess and My Captain, My Earl, in this series which feature characters we see in this book. I look forward to reading those stories as well. If you are fan of romance novels, you will enjoy Stone Devil Duke.
