This is the 5th book in the series “The Wicked Dukes”. It is nice to read the whole series, but this book can be read alone. This book is about Giles who is a blacksmith and an expert at carriages and Felicity who is the sister of a Duke, and also an expert at carriages. They meet and bond over fixing Felicity’s brother carriage, but Felicity is very afraid of being poor again so she tries to fight her feelings for Giles and marry someone with money and a title. I loved the fact that Giles let Felicity be who she was, wear any cloths she wants. He accepts her for just being her. I have enjoyed this book and all the other books and the series and I know you will too.

Reading this title was such a pleasure. The author treats Felicity with such dignity, and it was an adventure to see how her story panned out. It was a quick and satisfying read; a great way to spend an afternoon.

Giles Langford is a Wicked Duke, but a duke he's not. Broke but known for being a whip of the first caliber, he's very popular. When he is asked to race a carriage designed by for her brother. Felicity is not just a woman, but the sister of a duke. She and her brother were raised on the streets until her brother inherited a title. Felicity still runs the blacksmith business secretly to raise money to help the children on the streets. Giles and Felicity get closer together and fall in love. Will there be more than one night with this spirited, hard to tame woman? Will his heart be enough for her? Will one night be enough? Loved this book. One of my favorite of the Wicked Dukes. I received this book from Net Galley, the author and WebMotion for a honest review. I voluntarily read this book.

if anything, i wish that this had been longer. i wish the story would've been more fleshed out, and learn more about both of the characters before they met, and then during their somewhat courtship. the mechanics of the carriage racing and making the carriages.

One Night to Remember. I have enjoyed each and every one of the books in the Wicked Dukes Club Series but I believe this one might be my favorite. I loved Lady Felicity Sutton’s spunk. She took pride in the work she did as a smithy when she was poor and needed to work for food but now that she is the Duke’s sister, she has to do her smithy work is secret. Giles Langford is also a well-known smithy and also known for his ability to win races. They meet when the Duke has entered a race and he wants Giles to race the modified carriage work of his sister. So enjoyed this story.

Another splendid addition to the Wicked Dukes series!

Felicity and her brother had a hardscrabble childhood until he unexpectedly inherited a dukedom. Felicity never forgot her roots, nor did she ever give up the skills she'd acquired as a child. When Cole hires the famed coach smith, Giles Langford, to make sure his curricle is ready for an upcoming race, he insists that Giles work alongside his in-house mechanic, his sister Felicity.

Meanwhile, Felicity is trying to find a titled husband who will offer her both the security she needs and the freedom to run a foundation to help children who are struggling the way she did years ago. Working with Giles, however, makes her realize that she misses some aspects of her simple childhood, before the expectations and rules of high society became the driving force in her life.

The story beautifully demonstrates the dignity to be found in all classes of society, and presents a cast of characters who are true to their hearts, regardless of their social standing. It's definitely a unique spin on the usual Regency romance, written so superbly as to be a credit to all the characters in this fictional world. Felicity's spirited determination was expertly developed, and while Giles was a swoon-worthy hero in his own right, the story belongs to Felicity and she shines from start to finish. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

One Night To Remember is book 5 in the Wicked Dukes Club Regency Romance series by Erica Ridley. This book was charming. Giles Langford is called the Curricle King because he is a notorious whip and coach smith. He has never lost a race and has a thriving business fixing carriages in his black smith shop. Lady Felicity Sutton has a hidden talent of fixing her brother the Duke of Colehaven’s curricle. When the Duke is challenged to a race, he turns to Langford to fix up his curricle to win it but only if Langford agrees to let Lady Felicity assist him. Once together sparks fly. But Lady Felicity has her own agenda - one that can not include Giles Langford.
“To her consternation, Felicity was no longer mentally cataloguing the size and width of the wheels or the length of the splinter bar and breeching dee, but staring after Giles Langford. The man looked like a god of chariots. He had no prayer of blending with high society, nor any desire to try. He didn’t need to. He was precisely who and what he appeared to be.” I enjoyed this book. Of course it is highly unlikely that a Duke’s sister would wed a blacksmith. But historical romance is for dreaming not for reality. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I was gifted a copy of this book.

Giles is wonderful. He lets Felicity be herself, in fact he encourages it. She knows how lucky she is too. One Night to Remember, is a perfect addition to this series.

Fantastic story that not only gives us the romance we crave but also in a way that shows that not everyone aspires to be nobility. Felicity and Giles have great background stories that is brought out well in the narration. This is definitely a feel good story that you should read for the sheer joy of seeing the excitement of curricle racing, the winners (not in the traditional sense) and caring enough about the children to make a difference.

I love this authors work, it amazes me how she can write an interesting story that keeps your fingers turning the pages.

Lady Felicity Sutton grew up poor, she along with her brother (now the Duke of Colehaven) worked in a smithy as children and were often hungry and homeless. She got lucky, her brother inherited a wealthy dukedom and she no longer has to work or worry. But it isn't enough, she never wants to know poverty again and wants to do something to aid the impoverished children of London. To do that, she must marry and marry well. She had certain requirements for her would be husband and is willing to make personal sacrifices to ensure she marries a man who can provide financial stability and fund her dream of a foundation to help the poorest of children.

Felicity has decided this is the season she will marry and stop tinkering with her brother's carriages. She has found the perfect suitor, Lord Raymore, the marquess is older, but has a substantial fortune and already fights tirelessly in the House of Lords to help the poor, especially children. He is exactly the right man, so she will show him that she is the perfect woman to be his marchioness. But when she learns her brother is entering his racing carriage in a race, she can't resist suggesting modifications. Cole agrees and tells her he will not be racing himself, he has hired Giles Langford, a well-know coach smith and racer, known as the Curricle King to race in his stead.

Giles is surprised and impressed by Felicity. She is lovely and talented, but this race is important, winning will help his business and afford him the opportunity to apprentice more of the poverty stricken children in his neighborhood. As they work together, they learn more about each other and the attraction grows, leading to kisses and deeper feelings. Giles knows he is far below Felicity's station, but can't stop himself for dreaming of the impossible - a lifetime with her.

Felicity is falling hard for Giles, but she can't give up on her dream and Giles has neither the money or the political power to help her realize that dream. She is torn and has to decide if her dream is worth the cost of losing the love of a lifetime.

This was well written, fast paced, sweet story, with wonderful leads, warm love scenes and delightful secondary characters. Both Felicity and Giles are likeable and the chemistry between them is undeniable. I enjoyed their journey to HEA and would be happy to recommend the book, but I admit, I did find the ending a bit unbelievable/implausible.

*I am voluntarily leaving a review for an eARC that was provided to me by NetGalley and the Publisher.*

Lady Felicity Sutton has known poverty and want before her brother inherited his dukedom and she's determined to marry well so neither she nor her children will ever have to experience hunger and homelessness and so her brother will be proud of her. She'll sacrifice everything she loves: working in the smithy as well as the handsome, untitled daredevil she truly loves, for a titled, wealthy peer as a husband. Even if she has to give up part of herself, it'll be worth it to be able to have access to resources that will enable her to help more impoverished children than her brother can on his own.

Well known blacksmith and respected racing driver Giles Langford is surprised to learn that his carriage smith for an upcoming race is a woman, much less the sister of the duke he's racing for. Giles has no need for a partner; he much prefers to work alone. Imagine his bemusement when he finds he's fallen in love with his lady mechanic, especially when he knows he meets none of her criteria and he only has himself to offer her.

Felicity was admittedly selfish and it made me want to dislike her, but at the same time, her reasons were so understandable and ultimately unselfish that her desperate insistence on marrying a peer did make sense. Giles is amazed to finally have someone who makes him want a real partnership, but he knows Felicity wants something more than he can give. With Giles, Felicity can truly be herself and she begins to question what her priorities and reasons for her decisions truly are.

I loved that while yes this was a romance about falling in love, it was also about having the courage to be yourself and stand up for what you know is best for you, not what others think you should have. Also, Giles was adorable. Another great installment and I'm sad to see this series almost over.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

So here is the next-to-last book in this awesome series and Felicity’s story, the sister of Cole, the Duke from the first book.
This story can be read as a standalone, but read the previous books will not be lost as all the stories were awesome.
I confess I had a hard time at first to warm up for Felicity, I do understand when you have felt hunger and cold, loosing it could be dreadful, but she has very few risk to go back to her previous life, so why this hunting list for a wealthy and titled husband. Worst, to achieve her goal, she must hide and will have to bury her true self. Sure behind her prom and proper facade, she has a heart of gold, she wants to help others less fortunate but is selling her soul the good choice to achieve what she wants.
Giles Langston never doubted who he was and what he was looking for, with own two hands, he rose himself and extended his father’s business to a wealthy enterprise. But he is no blue-blood so Felicity dismisses him immediately.
As they come to work in close contact, each opens to the other, she is blunt about her requirements for a potential husband but she sees first hand with Giles that good can be done even by no lofty men.
Slowly she will question her objectives, as during her two weeks of association with him, she can be herself, not the Lady Felicity everyone expects to see as the sister of a Duke.
Giles is a good man, he is proud of what he achieved and will be happy to go on like this, but Felicity shows him the one thing his life seems to lack but will she find him enough.
A lovely read about a woman who might lose herself if she does not comprehend who she is before it is too late.
