So cute! I adored Thad and Priscilla! Thad was so sweet and I loved that he wasn’t a lord or super rich. I also loved how much he loved love! It was a refreshing change from the dark brooding hero who runs from love. Priscilla was sweet and I felt sad for her. I loved Koffi and Wednesday too. An enjoyable read!

One Night of Passion by Erica Ridley is the third book in the Wicked Dukes Club series that she is cowriting with Darcy Burke. The first two installments included "wicked" gentlemen who were friends with Thaddeus Middleton. He's looking for a wife who sees past his money. He's a nice guy who wants love and happiness. He's so deserving of having his dreams come true.
Priscilla Weatherby is almost old enough to put the marriage mart behind her, collect her inheritance and explore the world as she wishes. She's done a good job of hiding in plain sight until Thaddeus takes notice of her. She keeps denying that she feels anything for him in return, but it becomes increasingly difficult to say.
When you've dreamed of something you're entire life what does it take to make you willingly abandon those dreams for something that could be so much better. Something that could be shared...
Well, read One Night of Passion and find out!

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down wish there was more to their story even though it ended at a good place.

I didn't care for the characters as much as in the previous (One Night of Scandal) but they were different than the usual regency cookie-cutter characters and for that I am grateful. Still enjoyed the story and would like to read more by the author.

One Night of Passion is a fun and engaging Regency historical romance filled with interesting characters and is so much fun to read. I enjoyed the banter between Thaddeus and Priscilla. I loved this book and I'm looking forward to reading more adventures from the Wicked Dukes Club

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Oh how I loved this book. The characters were relatable and made me root for them. Parts were heartbreaking, parts were funny, all of it was great!

ONE NIGHT OF PASSION is the third book in the Wicked Dukes Club series. Though each will stand on its own, there is a lot of reference to the former matches and I would recommend reading them anyway – they are all five crown reads.

Thad doesn’t have a title or need one. He wants true love. He believes in The One and believes everyone deserves their one. Sigh! He wants a happy-ever-after.

Priscilla believes that if she just has her independence, she’ll be happy. So many of us live our lives with this premise. If I just lose 10 more pounds, I’ll be happy. If I just get that job, I’ll be happy. If I just get a different man, I’ll be happy. She isn’t whining. She isn’t looking for someone to save her. She is making a game of forcing fate towards her goals. She has made lemonade of the lemons life has given her, for now. But then Thad happens. I won’t spoil a moment of it by telling you a word of that. Just know that I think every word of it must be read.

Sweet and romantic from beginning to end, this is the story that can’t be missed.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

I was so excited to get an advanced reader's copy of this book. I loved Erica's previous book in this series and have been looking forward to Thad's story.
I wasn't disappointed. This story was just lovely - on every level.
And the best (or most unusual, depending on how you look at it) thing is that it's the exact opposite of most romance stories.
Thad wants to get married. He wants a wife, a family, and to settle down. Priscilla doesn't want to get married. She wants to travel the world and have adventures in far off places.
Both of them have to make some drastic changes to their long-held plans for the future.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I'm looking forward to reading more of Erica's books in future.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Those Wicked Dukes are such fun and yet the man in this story is just a plain mister. Thad seems like such a nice fun loving guy and Priscilla is just so mean at first! She doesn't want to lead him on and plans to make it to her birthday so that she can get her inheritance.

I loved that Thad just kept trying and being nice and was patient with her. Priscilla kind of drove me crazy as she kept wanting to go on an adventure with her father and grandfather. She was clueless that these "adventurous men" were really selfish and were not waiting for her to grow up and join them.

So glad when she finally opened her eyes and saw the truth and what she was thinking of giving up! Looking forward to the next book in this series!

This is the third book in the Wicked Dukes Club Series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Thad wants to marry but not just someone interested in his money. He meets Priscilla who isn’t interested in marrying at all. What will happen when sparks fly. Fun, entertaining historical read with plenty of drama and great chemistry. The characters are so much fun and the story is really entertaining. I liked it.

Another great book by Erica Ridley. So glad I found this author. I have loved every book I have read so far! Loved the story of Thaddeus and Priscilla! She thought she wanted adventure through travels. That is all she had ever dreamed of. But after spending time with Thad, could he convince her that love was the best adventure there was?

This was another enjoyable book by Erica Ridley. The two main characters Thaddeus and Priscilla were entertaining. The grandma was funny and I must not forget the parrot who was a delight. This book should be read by anyone who likes historical romances which is not hard to read.

A beautiful story! I loved that Thaddeus was the one looking for a wife and a love match. He was so romantic and lovable. Pricilla’s grandmother was a pip! I couldn’t believe the suggestions she made and the allowances she gave this couple. I couldn’t put it down vicariously living Thaddeus’ hopes, joys and pains.

Thad and Priscilla were a fun couple to read. Their story was all that it should be. Two people looking for the person that would complete them and the two of them trying to figure out what that would look like. Sometimes as in Priscilla's case, it isn't always what you think it should be. I couldn't put this book down. A great read.

..

I will freely admit that I fall just a touch in love with every hero in the stories that I’ve enjoyed over the years. I flat out tumbled in love with Thad. He is a romantic who simply wants to find his one true love. He is kind, even to small helpless animals, a gentleman in every sense of the word and simply a gentle giant of a man with a heart that could so easily be broken.

Priscilla is an independent lady with a grand plan, to remain unwed, avoid scandal at all cost and never fall into the trap of love for everything she holds dear is on the line should she stumble one little bit. She has the chance for complete independence, to travel on adventures beyond her wildest imagination — but should she be tempted to fall in love and marry she will lose all that she has worked toward. Love. Independence. The two become a war in her heart and mind when she encounters Thad. Now she has to make a choice or take the chance of losing the one man who would fulfill all her dreams and beyond.

ONE NIGHT OF PASSION has to be my favorite Regency Romance of 2019 (so far). This is pure romance, decisions that will change futures and a love that is worth the risk. I’m not going to spoil it for you – but, if you love a romance that will touch your heart and linger in your mind long after the final page then you need to pick up this book right now. I’ve enjoyed this entire series, and expect to continue doing so – but Thad and Priscilla are a very special couple and I hope you’ll want to discover their story for yourself.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Thaddeus Middleton is on the hunt for a wife, he believes in true love and he’s been looking for ten years. He faithfully goes to Almack’s every Wednesday to look at the marriage mart. He decides to help bring attention to a wallflower Pricilla Wetherby, but things do not go quite has he expected. She makes his heart beat faster and she wants nothing to do with him. He neither a lord nor does he have a title, but he doesn’t suspect that’s why she’s turning him down. Pricilla has other plans and she’ll gain her inheritance if she can remain unmarried and scandal free and if she’s still unmarried at five and twenty, the inheritance is hers. She’ll be free to travel and live a life of freedom. What she doesn’t expect is for Thaddeus to start paying her attention, he the most handsome and genuine nice man whom she has secretly adored. A great story I love the witty banter as Thad and Pricilla both know they want different things in life and can't decide if they must sacrifice what they've always wanted for each other. I love these two as they tango around each other, they find what they desire, romance and a love worth fighting for!!! I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

I love Erica Ridley's writing style. Everyone of her books that I've read is incredibly easy to get into immediately and this was no exception. However, I found this story a little bland. There wasn't enough details or back story especially concerning the father and grandfather. Thank you to NetGalley and Erica Ridley for this ARC.

One Night of Passion is the third book in the Wicked Dukes Club and it's written by Erica Ridley. Thaddeus and Priscilla are the main characters. The hero of our story is Diana's cousin and she was the heroine of the first book. He doesn't have a title and he is looking for love. Our heroine is not looking for love and looks forward to her 25th birthday in order to claim her inheritance and go on adventures like her father and grandfather did. She has lost her most and lives with her grandmother only.

Once again in the series, we had a strong and maybe a little forward for her time heroine. I liked that. All Thaddeus wanted to do is settle down and have a family, while his future lady wanted to explore the world. That was a problem since they wanted different things. I will admit that I am still torn about how I felt with the way the author resolved their problems. On one hand, I liked it and on the other, I feel like they would have done what the other party wanted without causing too much trouble. That was the only thing that made me doubt the book and my feelings about it. Otherwise, the book was good and easy to read. I was happy to have Thaddeus as a hero because he was different from most of the book heroes we get lately.

I received an advanced reader’s copy of this story.

I loved Thaddeus and Priscilla. Thaddeus is a romantic, looking for a love match. He’s kind and everyone likes him.

Priscilla is to inherit a fortune if she remains unmarried and her reputation is intact. She longs to be on her own to do what she wishes. Thaddeus is a threat to her plans as her attraction and feelings for him grow.

Thaddeus, despite his own feelings, gives Priscilla the space she needs to figure things out.

This was a lovely romance and I can’t wait to read Erica’s next book.

This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone.

2.5/5. It took me an inordinately long time to finish what is an essentially short book/novella. Nope. Just didn't feel what other people were feeling. This insta-love/lust thing, I just did not get. The characters both annoyed me.

The heroine is woman just biding time till her coming 25th birthday when she is promised access to the 10 thousand pounds set aside for her by her absent father. She has an illogical and childish conviction that the road to happiness is through adventuring abroad and hopefully to do so in the company of her father and grandfather, who abandoned her, her mother and grandmother in their selfish search for stimulation in faraway places. Instead of resenting them, she idolises these undeserving men who caused her mother's premature death by suicide and who hardened her grandmother's heart. It's a simplistic and immature notion to have at her age that travelling with them would gain her their attention and affection.

The hero is a bit of an airy-fairy dreamer himself. A hopeless romantic who literally searches for "The One" and who after a set down by the heroine suddenly becomes convinced that she is this person. He also has the lofty ambition of being a biographer, a strange and underdeveloped aspiration when all he has done to date is just to jot down notes about random people he meets. Spoilers coming up. He eventually writes the first part of the heroine's autobiography and gifts it to her. How one can write chapters about a person, one doesn't have any detailed knowledge of and who has not left London or done anything unique or notable, I don't understand.

The repetitious mention of "The One" (31 times when one was enough for me to roll my eyes and the other 30 times gave me nystagmus and a severe case of vertigo) and "Marriage Mart" made me grind my teeth. To me, his fatalistic attitude equals to spinelessness and lack of character strength. I prefer a hero (and heroine) who has the balls and conviction to seize/make their own moments and not be subject to the whims of fate. Then there's their bedding. She loved and was certain of his love for her enough to sleep with him but not certain enough of its longevity to marry him. Well, let me tell you something girl, sleeping with him might result in consequences that have longevity!

The author has written better. There were a couple of decent lines, but for the most I was just annoyed - and bored. If I had known, it's a novella (albeit a longish one), I would have stayed clear of it.
